Greens thank national candidates Cynthia McKinney and Rosa
Clemente, congratulate Barack Obama on his historic White House
victory


WASHINGTON, DC -- The Green Party of the United States thanked
Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente, Green candidates for President
and Vice President, for their strong national campaign in the 2008
election.

The party also congratulated Barack Obama on his election to the
White House today, and celebrated the election of America's first
African American President.

"Even though we competed with Sen. Obama for votes in the
presidential race, we're thrilled that voters have elected an
African American President, something unimaginable a generation
ago. We're just as thrilled that our own presidential ticket --
Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente are two women of African
descent, and Ms. Clemente is Black Puerto Rican -- represented the
voices of so many Americans who've been shut out of the system,"
said Clyde Shabazz, Green candidate for Congress in Michigan's 14th
District.

Greens noted that voters expressed a mandate for change in the hope
that President-elect Obama would follow through on his pledge of
"Change We Can Believe In" and reverse the dangerous direction that
the country has taken.

"Voters who were motivated by Barack Obama's message of change will
now have to fight if they really want change to take place during
the next four years," said Jill Bussiere, co-chair of the Green
Party of the United States. "Rosa Clemente, our candidate for Vice
President, talked about the Green Party's 'imperative' throughout
the campaign. The Green Imperative will move forward during the
Obama Administration, as people demand that change be more than a
campaign slogan."
