To: Steering Committee of the
Green Party of the United States
 
Fm: Cynthia McKinney, Georgia
 
Date: September 10th, 2007
 
As I'm sure you know, I have been approached by many within the Green Party over the preceeding year who have asked that I
consider seeking the nomination of the Green Party of the United
States as its candidate for President of the United States.
In 2003 I was similiarly approached about my potential interest
in the 2004 race.
 
I have seriously weighed the options, travelled
extensively holding first private, then more public events with
Greens over the preceding year, exploring such a
possibility with Greens in at least a dozen state parties, meeting
with the chair of your Presidential Campaign Support
Committee, with the members of your Steering Committee and
speaking at, and entertaining questions from the Party's Annual
Meeting in Reading Pennsylvania this past July.  Since the
Reading meeting, I have also begun to help Green candidates
raise money for their campaigns.
 
For months I have answered questions about my intentions for this race in 2008 by saying that while I am not yet in,  neither am I out of this race.
 
After careful consideration about the political conditions facing our nation, the level of development within the Party, my own readiness to take on such a daunting task and my own long postponed personal priorities, I write to inform the Party that I must at this time withdraw my name from consideration for the Party's 2008 Presidential Nominating contest.
 
I remain committed to our collective work of transforming our nation and to mobilizing peace loving Americans, justice seeking activists and others disfranchised by the powers which currently control our nation toward that end.
 
Sincerely yours,
Cynthia McKinney
