Green Presidential Candidate, Cynthia McKinney,
to vote in Chocolate Shoppe “pre-election” Saturday

(Madison, WI) Cynthia McKinney, Green presidential candidate, will be
campaigning in Wisconsin this weekend, and will participate in The
Chocolate Shoppe’s pre-election at 4:30 PM on Saturday, September 6th.

Every election year, The Chocolate Shoppe ice cream store holds a
“pre-election” candidate vote promotion using ice cream flavors as
ways for customers to vote. Customers vote by purchasing the flavor
associated with a particular candidate.

“In an election system where we have to fight hard just to
participate, we are often left with a bad taste in our mouths,” said
Larry Dooley, Co-chair of Four Lakes Green Party. “There’s nothing
sweeter than the taste of democracy and inclusion. The Chocolate
Shoppe is clearly a supporter of democracy, made up of a multitude of
flavors, or voices.”

Former Congressperson and current Green Party Presidential Candidate
Cynthia McKinney supports:

*free-time on public airwaves for all candidates
* repeal of ballot access laws restricting third party
and independent candidates
*public funding of elections, so that elected officials belong to the
public rather than monied interests
*proportional representation and multi-party systems

Cynthia McKinney’s flavor is Raspberry Rhapsody.

“Raspberry Rhapsody is my new favorite flavor,” said Nelson Eisman,
former Green candidate for governor. “Being able to vote for my
favorite candidate, Cynthia McKinney, has me in raptures!”

The Chocolate Shoppe is located at 468 State Street, Madison WI.

Directly after eating ice cream/voting at The Chocolate Shoppe,
Cynthia McKinney will be attending a fundraiser held to benefit her Power to
the People Campaign at the High Noon Saloon from 6:00 pm to 8 pm – at
701 E. Washington Ave., Madison.
