[Peace-discuss] Fwd: [hq2600] From Cynthia McKinney: Remarks at the DC "Let Gaza Live"March and Rally

[E. Wayne Johnson]

Cynthia McKinney is among the true patriots of our time.

I dont agree with Cynthia on everything but she is so strong on the

that I think she is really pretty awesome.  She gives them fits in DC.
