M1 from dead prez speaks about
Cynthia McKinney & Rosa Clemente
Rosa A.
Clemente released the following statement:
"I am honored and excited to accept this invitation
to run with Cynthia McKinney. Cynthia McKinney is a hero to me and many others across this country and around the world for
her courage in standing up to George Bush while the Democratic Party establishment caved.
"This campaign is
the opportunity the Hip-Hop generation has been working for. This is our time to address the issues affecting our communities
– rising unemployment, the high cost of food and housing, a lack of quality public education and access to higher education,
the prison-industrial complex, and unaccountable corporate media. These issues are not being addressed by either the Republican
or Democratic nominee.
"I choose to do this, not for me, but for my generation, my community and my daughter.
I don't see the Green Party as an alternative; I see it as an imperative. I trust that my Vice Presidential run
will inspire all people, but especially young people of color, to recognize that we have more then two choices. Together,
we can build the future we've been dreaming of."
Hip-Hop artist M1 says, "I've never voted in the Presidential
election; I've never felt strongly enough about a candidate to. Knowing that Rosa Clemente is down with Cynthia McKinney's
run, I feel that now is the greatest opportunity for the Hip-Hop community to put our collective strength and power to the
test and vote for someone who represents who we are and what we stand for."
