Don't write Nader off.

People seem infuriated by the fact that Ralph Nader wants to run for the office of the President. And what's even more surprising is that politicians are the most vocal about it. How many news reports have we seen that positions Nader as the spoiler (again). Ralph Nader is simply doing what anyone in America should be free to do, and yet the leaders in our democracy who we've elected to represent us appear to be totally against the democratic process. How can you not at least admit that he has a right to run? That's not to say I totally agree with everything Nader stands for, but the biggest of all for me, is he stands for us trying to take back our government. It's pretty clear that we lost control years ago. I'm not sure how. Is it big business as Nader suggests? Perhaps. Likely its a combination of things. Special interest groups that don't represent the population anymore. Personal interests, such as the Bush/Bin Laden-Oil dealings. At any rate, Ralph's willingness to talk straight on the issues, is refreshing, and something I think is really needed in Washington. votenader.org
