Cynthia McKinney is running for President! The former 6 term Georgia democratic congresswoman is famous for hitting a capitol hill police officer and questioning whether President Bush knew about the 9-11 attacks in advance.

Now she lives in San Francisco and is a GREEN PARTY member.McKinney has been making speeches and mulling a bid for some time.

This week she posted a 5 minute web video on runcynthiarun.org in which she says “The Democrats are no different than their Republican counterparts, eat out of the hands of corrupt lobbyists and feed at the same corporate trough.  I am proud to say that the Green Party is my new political home,”

After 5 terms in office McKinney was ousted in 2002 following the firestorm over the the 9-11\Bush questions. Her father suggested she lost in 2002 because of “Jews.” She won her seat back in 2004, then slugged the capitol cop and lost it permanently in 2006.

McKinney joins at least six other Green Party candidates (including Ralph Nader) planning to run for president. McKinney’s web page solicits donations and discusses being on ballots in several February 5th primary states and collecting petitions for ballot access in several big states in next years general election. The Green Party holds its convention in Chicago next July
