Audio Feature:  In the Midst of Widespread Political Discontent, Green Party
        Nominates McKinney for President        

        Last week former Democratic Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was nominated as
        the Green Party’s candidate for the 2008 Presidential Race. McKinney has also
        declared her runningmate: longtime activist and independent journalist Rosa Clemente. 

        Their platform consists of some issues common to the Democractic party like universal
        healthcare and ending the war. But there are also more unusual planks, like ballot
        access, Nine Eleven Truth and impeachment for the Bush Administration.

        Meanwhile, elsewhere in America's turbulent political landscape, congressional approval
        ratings have hit an all time historical low of just 9%, while the UK's Guardian Newspaper
        is reporting that the Republican party may be "on the verge of imminent collapse."  This
        situation is likely to leave voters of all stripe considering new leadership in November.

        The McKinney campaign intends to participate in the upcoming televised Presidential
        debates, but that doesn't necessarily mean they've been invited. In 2004 the Green
        Party was refused entry to the debates, ultimately leading to the arrest of the Green
        nominee, David Cobb, while protesting his own exclusion.
