(David Zalubowski/AP) For a couple of months now, smart people have been saying that waves of foreclosures will wash over the United States, with dire economic consequences, if banks and the government don’t find ways to keep people in their homes. The solution seemed easy enough: reduce the monthly payments, and people [...]

Cynthia McKinney Has Pick Her Running Mate: Rosa Clemente

Posted on July 10, 2008 by marcelinopena

Just heard the Green Party presidential running candidate has chosen her VP, Rosa Clemente.  What an awesome ticket…just wished more US citizens knew the other stronger, better, and quicker thinking candidates running for the Executive Branch.

McKinney Selects VP Running Partner in Green Bid

Meanwhile, in Green Party news, presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney has chosen activist and journalist Rosa Clemente as her vice-presidential running partner. The New York-based Clemente is executive director of the Hip Hop Caucus and a longtime activist and journalist. If McKinney wins the nomination, she and Clemente would make up the first all-female-of-color ticket in US history. The Green Party will select its nominee at its convention this weekend.
