Introduction - Sarah Martin of WAMM introduces Cynthia McKinney with a short history of the congresswoman's career.
Part 1 - Congresswoman McKinney talks in detail about AIPAC's influence on US elections, largely using her own experiences running for office. (Please Note: There is a hissing noise from steam pipes behind my camera for a couple of minutes in the beginning. I can't remove it, but it doesn't last very long so hang in there.)
Part 2 - Cynthia McKinney talks about the start of the Iraq War and the repercussions of her stand against it, her experiences with the Free Gaza Movement, her abduction and imprisonment by the Israeli government and the appalling media non-coverage of the entire event. She also addresses the sorry state US electoral politics, our sub-standard health care system and other topics.
