The Democracy Center, 45 Mt. Auburn St., Cambridge, MA 02138<br>
(Harvard Sq T-stop)<br><br>"American Blackout" is a critically acclaimed documentary about the stolen Presidential elections in 2000 and 2004, and voter disenfranchisement. By examining then Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney's efforts to draw attention to election fraud and her ultimate ousting, the film raises questions about the right-wing's organized obstruction of democracy, Democratic and Republican complicity, and media silence. It underscores the need for progressive voters to understand our voting system and take it back!<br>
<br>Followed by discussion on voter disenfranchisement, and the historic 2008 Green Party Presidential ticket of Cynthia Mckinney & Rosa Clemente. <br>Questions? <a href="mailto:kaveri.rajaraman@gmail.com" target="_blank">kaveri.rajaraman@gmail.com</a> <br>
<br><b>American Blackout<br>2006 Sundance Film Festival Special Jury Prize<br></b><a href="http://americanblackout.org" target="_blank">http://americanblackout.org</a><br>=======================================<br><p style="margin: 0px; padding-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 10px;">
Many have heard of the alleged voting irregularities
that occurred during the presidential elections of 2000
and 2004. Until now, these incidents have gone under-
reported and are commonly written-off as insignificant
rumors or unintentional mishaps resulting from an
overburdened election system.
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; padding-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 10px;">
<i>American Blackout</i> chronicles the recurring patterns of
voter disenfranchisement from Florida 2000 to Ohio 2004
while following the story of Georgia Congresswoman
Cynthia McKinney. Mckinney not only took an active role
investigating these election debacles, but has found herself
in the middle of her own after publicly questioning the
Bush Administration about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.<br clear="all"></p><div style="height: 400px; width: 490px;">

Whatever you think you know about our election systems or
Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, this film will make you
question further why the news media fails to accurately inform
the public. Directed by GNN's Ian Inaba, creator of
Eminem's "Mosh" music video, <i>American Blackout</i> critically
examines the contemporary tactics used to control our
democratic process and silence voices of political dissent.
