urgent message -- cynthia mckinney captured at sea
this comes to me from a green party member who hardly ever emails me. i'm not clear on the details, but the gist is that the fantastic former presidential candidate, former congresswoman, and the woman featured in (and possibly responsible for) the documentary "american blackout" about the supression of the black vote in the 00 and 04 elections was aboard a boat bringing food and humanitiarian supplies to gaza. the boat was captured, and McKinney is being held by the Israeli military, with 20 other prisoners.
i'm going to post this here, they're saying we should tell our elected officials to secure their release.
this isn't the first time she has gone to gaza with medicine and food, nor is it the first time the israeli military has fucked with her.
if you're unfamiliar with who we're talking about, here is cynthia mckinney making donald rumsfeld stutter in a hearing:
and if you haven't seen "american blackout," do so. it's available at their web site for free, or you can n*tflix it.

That blows my mind. I mean that. Cynthia McKinney?

if you read the whole article, and it's now on the major news sites too, she's with peace activists from various places, and a journalist and cameraperson with al-jazzerra. and to my knowledge, she is still being held.
