This website was created in response to the groundswell of enthusiasm for former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney to run for nomination as the Green Party 2008 Candidate for President, to take place in Chicago at our Annual National Convention July 2008. After seeing many encouraging signs that she was interested in running, we California Greens were disappointed to hear that she intended to withdraw her name from the Green Party of California (GPCA) primary ballot, scheduled for February 2008. Many Greens believe that our California Primary should provide a space for a successful, independent, and progressive woman of color, a charming and green-minded politician who believes in and practices the 10 Key Values and four pillars, named Cynthia McKinney! Our hope that by organizing projects here in California, we Greens will motivate her to return to our California Ballot as a Green candidate in the upcoming California Presidential Primary. We see her participation in the Primary as a Win/Win situation: the best for Cynthia, the best for the Green Party, and the best for the people of our country and our planet! Please look over the website and join in our effort, by registering as an endorser, a supporter, a volunteer, or a contributor, and by attendingCynthia McKinney’s upcoming visit to the Bay Area 2007.
