Six-term Congresswoman and Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney presented the documentary American Blackout to an enthusiastic audience in Los Angeles this evening.  McKinney has led efforts for election integrity in America and the audience was eager to learn her insights into the election fraud and solutions to election problems.  The audience was also enthusiastic about her candidacy for President.  The attendees expressed concerns that the Democratic and Republican candidates were too similar and that the major political parties had become too unrepresentative to support honest elections.  They were ready for change to an alternative to what is being called a "one party system," and it was felt that McKinney represented that alternative.

Cynthia McKinney came across as honest and willing to discuss all issues of interest with the audience.  After a question and answer session, she stayed to answer questions on a more personal basis.

Aside from Cynthia McKinney, Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich and Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul have been the only Presidential candidates to advocate election integrity this year.  Other candidates have made little more than passing mention of the topic.

Human rights advocates across America consider Cynthia McKinney to be one of the greatest populist leaders of all time.  Howard Zinn spoke of McKinney's courage in The People's History of the United States, the most comprehensive book on U.S. history and a favorite among U.S. history A.P. students.

With the news media waiting to swiftboat Barack Obama with a trail of monetary connections that go back to Saddam Hussein, McKinney's third party run is considered by some to be the Democrats' best hope for a Democratic victory this year.
