Cynthia McKinney announces EndUsWars.org and a demonstration against escalation in Afghanistan

Former Georgia Congresswoman and 2008 U.S. Green Party presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney has  called for a demonstration against escalation of the Afghanistan War outside the White House in Washington D.C. on 12.12.2009.
