Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente started the week with an appearance on Democracy Now with Amy Goodman.


First All-Women-of-Color Presidential Ticket in US History:
Green Party Nominee Cynthia McKinney
and Running Mate Rosa Clemente
on War, Democracy and Hip Hop

The Green Party made history last week when it nominated the first all-women-of-color presidential ticket in US history. Former Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who was the first African American woman elected to Congress in Georgia, won the Green Party's nomination last Monday. She named longtime community organizer, journalist and former director of the Hip Hop Caucus, Rosa Clemente, as her running mate earlier this month. They both join us for a wide-ranging discussion on the 2008 race, the media, the impact of the hip hop generation and more.

Here are new preliminary numbers on our progress through mid July, accounting for the states which surpassed the $5k threshold on the way to and in the immediate aftermath of the Chicago Convention. Supporters in ten states have raised $5k or more to qualify us so far: California, District of Columbia, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Oregon, Illinois, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin.


These eleven states' residents have already given $1,000 or more and are on their way towards that goal: *Arizona ($3.4k), *Colorado ($1.3k), Connecticut ($1k), *Florida ($3.9k), *Iowa ($1.2k), Massachusetts ($2.1k), *Maryland ($2.2k), *Maine ($4.3k), *New Jersey ($4.7k) Oklahoma ($1k) and *Pennsylvania ($1.1k). Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana and Virginia are the next closest to entering the running at the $1k level. (Unaudited figures current through July 17th, 2008; * indicates change since last month).
