For the last five years, the Congresswoman has been the House sponsor of the Arms Transfers Code of Conduct. This much-needed legislation, which aims to prevent the sale of US weapons to dictators, finally passed the House in June 1997. Congresswoman McKinney has also taken a leading role in promoting stronger diplomatic and economic ties with African nations. President Clinton invited Congresswoman McKinney to serve on the official American delegation to the inauguration of Liberian President Charles Taylor. In addition, President Clinton requested that McKinney attend high-level talks to open diplomatic ties with the new Democratic Republic of Congo. At the same time, she has assisted a number of Georgia-based companies in establishing and strengthening trade relations with African nations.

Born in Atlanta, Georgia on March 17, 1955, Cynthia currently lives in south DeKalb County. She earned a B.A. in International Relations from the University of Southern California in 1978 and is currently working to complete her dissertation in international relations at The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. In 1984, Cynthia worked as a Diplomatic Fellow at Spellman College in Atlanta. She also taught political science at Clark Atlanta University and later at Agnes Scott College, a women's college in Decatur, Georgia. Before being elected to Congress, Cynthia served on the board of the HIV Health Services Planning Council of Metro Atlanta from 1991-92.

I was looking for something else when I saw this video of former Congress Women Cynthia McKinney.. There is a whole lot we don't know about the flooding of Katrina, but this story shocked me....

1. Seems highly Plausible,
a private Prison company Takes 5000 Inmates who have had no visits in the last 2 years; shoot them. They then continue to collect money for their incarceration. They are only dead when they are reported dead. Totally capitalistic, neat, clean, opens up more space, and is highly Profitable.

2. One of the reason for the irrelevancy ...
... of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS).

Cynthia McKinney is kind of a nut and she was the GPUS nominee for president in 2008 (and rumored to want to run again).

In the big picture scheme of things, we could probably use a left party in this country to provide balance to the corporatist trends of the major parties. But with a 'leader' like McKinney, that leftward pull is clearly not going to be offered by the Green Party.

3. I don't know why she is seen as kind of a nut....
But she was removed from office with that type of branding... Now I see why Michelle Bachman is seen as a nut... She want people to be investigated for being un-American.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_pN2IPAw6E
