Cynthia McKinney is running for president as the Green Party candidate. While the Green Party has been the mini party is past elections, with the press and attention that the environment and energy is getting these days, I’m sure that they’ll get more votes this time around.
So who is Cynthia McKinney? Good question! Personally I’ve never heard of her before, but after reading over her wikipedia page, I’m surprised I never heard about the Tupac Shakur Records Act before! Very interesting, and while I’m sure many people would find her efforts on this matter ridiculous, I absolutely do not. Its about time the folks in the US government recognize the cultural and even practical importance of music. I bet more people in the United States are more familiar with Tupac than they are with any of the past of present American presidents. Good or bad, that’s how it is.
She’s also not afraid to stand up for herself - be it against President Bush or against a security officer who thought she was trying to sneak into the House of Representatives!
Her website even includes an endorsement by M1 from Dead Prez! That’s surprisingly hip.
