Hello Powerful People:
Welcome to the 12th issue of the
Power to the People Committee,
Cynthia McKinney for President Weekly Update.
— McKinney – Clemente Nominated by Green Party —
Cynthia McKinney won the Green Party’s Presidential Nomination at its Chicago Convention, taking 313 of 532 first round ballots in an eight way contested race to lead the 2008 Party’s Peace slate.
Once securing the nomination, she asked the Convention to also nominate as her running mate, Rosa Clemente, Bronx born activist, journalist, scholar and organizer who helped to found the HipHop Political Convention. Clemente said, “I chose to do this, not for me, but for my generation, my community and my daughter. I don’t see the Green Party as an alternative. I see it as imperative.”

This gives us two more weeks now to qualify for Federal Matching Funds. With enthusiastic pushes from McKinney supporters in both Wisconsin and Washington DC, we believe both those have now joined the list of qualifying states, including California, Michigan, New York, Oregon, Illinois, Texas and Washington.
If you are from any of these states:
Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Massachusetts, Maryland,
Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey and Oklahoma
Your urgent action to put us over the top is needed now. We also need at least two additional states to enter the mix and help us make a difference.
These states’ residents have already given $1,000 or more and are on their way towards that goal: Arizona ($2.1k), Conneticut ($1k), Florida ($3.5k), Iowa ($1k), Massachusetts ($1.8k), Maryland ($1.6k), Maine ($3.7k), Minnesota ($4.4k), New Jersey ($3.7k) and Oklahoma ($1k). Colorado, Georgia and Pennsylvania are the next closest to entering the running at the $1k level. (Unaudited figures current through June 30th, 2008; indicates change since last month).
