Are you:
- Incredulous at the fact that two Presidential elections were stolen and no one was held accountable?
- Disappointed that, as a result, our country is at war, involved in torture, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and crimes against the peace?
- Concerned that your vote might not be counted in November and that the will of the voters will be thwarted yet again with election fraud or outright theft?
- Disquieted that the use of electronic voting machines, coupled with laws that restrict public access to election data “owned” by voting machine companies, might thwart your ability to verify election results if they are in question?
- Waiting to hear the leading Presidential contenders say that it’s past time to repeal the Patriot Acts, the Secret Evidence Act, the Bush tax cuts, the Military Tribunals Act, bring our troops home, and institute a livable wage?
- Ready to have the Parties’ solutions to the shrinking dollar and the ballooning national debt explained, especially in light of rising food prices and unemployment?
- Infuriated that 48 million of our neighbors have no access to health care while those of us with insurance have our claims too often denied?
As acknowledged in the documentary American Blackout, I worked with investigative journalist Greg Palast and conducted my own Congressional investigation into election theft in Florida and across our country in the Presidential election of 2000. Those proceedings documented the role of Data Base Technologies, now a part of ChoicePoint, and election officials in Florida, in illegally “scrubbing” the voter rolls.
In 2001, with Al Gore presiding, I objected to the seating of the Florida electors. Not one Senator objected and so there was no discussion and no debate in the Congress about
what happened in Florida and across our country in the 2000 Presidential election during the seating of the Electoral College. The same pattern of fraud and theft was planned and
executed in the 2004 Presidential election. But this time, not relying on any political party, the people themselves demanded and funded an investigation into what happened in Ohio. More and more information comes to us about how the will of voters in Ohio was deliberately suppressed to produce a desired outcome. This effort at discovering the truth of Ohio was led by independents, Libertarians, and the Green Party because the Democrats had already conceded the election.
Thank you for supporting the truth. Thank you for helping the American people know the truth.
In my own 2006 Congressional election, Georgia courts have ruled that the electronic election data cannot be made public because they belong to Diebold. The matter is going to be appealed all the way to the Georgia Supreme Court, but isn’t that a shame? In my election night speech I declared electronic voting machines a clear and present danger to our republic.
On March 17th of 2007, I declared my independence from national leadership that deepens the morass in which our country finds itself today. That leadership has enabled our country to throw away traditional American values of justice, and peace, and freedom.
I have now become a member of the Green Party and am seeking its Presidential nomination.
I want to keep election protection and a radical common sense approach to issues on the table. As the candidates with populist appeal, but without their party’s support, are being pushed further and further to the margins, I want to make sure that the election results are truly a reflection of the will of the voters. That will only happen if there is another voice raising these critical issues.
It’s time for us to do some things we’ve never done before in order to have some things we’ve never had before. I’m doing that and I hope you will lend your support so we can press for election integrity and real solutions to the problems faced by real people in real talk that we all can understand.

I need your help and support. The time is too precarious, the issues too important, our futures too much at risk for us to accept business as usual again.
Thank you again for your support of truth. I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Cynthia McKinney
