    That's because many people fear losing their already tenuous grip on their lifestyle.

    But with millions of people facing foreclosure, and with the rest of the economy on the brink of free-fall, how much safety is apparent?

    That's only an economic concern, what about foreign policy?

    Foreign policy, for at least the last decade, has been handled (or should I say, mishandled?) by an array of incompetents who have succeeded only in making bad situations far worse.

    Do people want change, or are they merely claiming that they do?

    Cynthia McKinney would certainly represent that, in a way far more substantial and meaningful than anybody else out there.

    Politicians should be far more than paid agents  of the wealthy. They should be far more than millionaires working on behalf of other millionaires

    Why are we not surprised that the U.S. Senate is a millionaires club?

    How could such people have an appreciation of working people?  What do they really know about the poor?

    Wouldn't Cynthia McKinney be a significant change?
