Cynthia Mckinney's Blog

1. http://www.allthingscynthiamckinney.com/. The blog that I have choosen is about Cynthia Mckinney, a Green Party nominee for president of the United States. The blog allows us to see Cynthia's point of view through her runnings. There are videos also uploaded on the blog which show many of her speeches and also some of her campaigning.
2. This blog seems much more professional looking. The blog holds so many possible links to click on, all leading to more information about Cynthia. One part of this blog which really stands out to me is the rap that has been mixed by Danny Velarde in honor to Cynthia's position.
3.One specific issue talked about on Cynthia's blog is the use of oil. Cynthia has been quoted, "Right now we've got two energy policies in this country," McKinney told Grist. "One is war, the other is drilling. And neither one of them works." Cynthia wishes to win over voters who have tried Democratic and republican parties by using this message. In response to Cynthia's belief that our engery policies do not work, I feel that currently we are doing the best we can with energy issues. The way Cynthia had told her subscribers that she wants to basically capture all unknown votes seems she is very confident with her beliefs and choices. I enjoy the way Cnythia explains her point of veiw in full detail and alows readers even with ignorance to politics to fully understand her thoughts.

I agree with professionalism of the blog and its many links. There are ton of videos and information on many different issues. You said that she wants to use better forms of energy and help end the war and I agree with her view on the war but different sources of energy can be a lot more expensive. We might end up using our tax money to create the new forms of energy. She also mentions soldiers having depleted uranium levels and their not sure what the effects are of this but it is definitely a reason to try and pull out of the war. Overall it is a good blog and I agree that she explains her views in a way that everyone can understand.
