Presidential Candidate in Town this Weekend! And I’m not talking about Nader! But I am talking about the Green Party candidate! Cynthia McKinney will be in town over the weekend. She’s speaking at the Fighting Bob Festival at 10:20 am, will be hanging out at the Green Party table afterwards . . . than back to Madison for two events. See details below!
I know people have gotten swept up in Obamamania and I can see why, but I’d urge you to at least check out McKinney. The Cynthia McKinney/Rosa Clemente ticket is something we’ve never seen before, an African American Woman and Latina Woman running for President and Vice President talking about how to turn this country right side up again. Radical, I know, but the bottom line is that they are talking about the issues that most of us care about. It’s hard for them to break through all the noise, but if you take the time, the messages they are talking about are worth hearing. Will you at least listen?
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 stores hold 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.”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“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!”Cynthia McKinney’s flavor is Raspberry Rhapsody.
The Chocolate Shoppe is located at 468 State Street, Madison WI.
Directly after eating ice cream/voting at The Chocolate Shoppe,
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.
