Washington, D.C.
Ralph Nader today threw his hat into the 2008 Presidential
\ufffd
ring.
Nader announced his candidacy on NBC s Meet the Press with Tim Russert.
\ufffd
At the same time, the Nader campaign launched a web site
votenader.org.
\ufffd
The campaign web site highlights twelve fundamental differences between the Nader
campaign and the corporate Republicans and corporate Democrats.
In a letter posted on the campaign web site this morning, titled Civics Test, a
group of Nader supporters ask:
Of the following Presidential candidates
Ralph Nader, Hillary Clinton, Barack
\ufffd
\ufffd
Obama and John McCain
which one supports a single payer, Canadian style, free
\ufffd

choice, Medicare for all health care system?
Answer: Ralph Nader
Which one supports solar energy and would take nuclear power off the table?
Answer: Ralph Nader
Which one would cut the huge bloated wasteful military budget?

Answer: Ralph Nader
Which one would reverse U.S. Middle East policy in Israel/Palestine, Iraq and

Iran?
Answer: Ralph Nader
Which one would launch an aggressive crackdown on corporate crime and corporate

welfare?
Answer: Again, only Ralph Nader.\ufffd
A separate letter, titled Mr Frugal, agrees that Hillary Clinton s campaign

\ufffd
\ufffd
\ufffd
spending $3.8 million in January on one consultant alone was stunning.
\ufffd
\ufffd
Give our candidate
we call him Mr. Frugal
$3.8 million and he ll get us on
\ufffd
\ufffd
\ufffd
\ufffd
the ballot all across this country, the letter reads.
\ufffd
The web site encourages people to join a Road Trip for Ralph
where volunteers
\ufffd
will travel the country, getting Nader on the ballot in all fifty states.
On Meet the Press, Nader said that dissent is the mother of assent.
\ufffd
\ufffd
Nader said people are feeling locked out, shut out, marginalized and
\ufffd
disrespected.\ufffd
You go from Iraq, to Palestine to Israel, from Enron to Wall Street, from Katrina
\ufffdto the bumbling of the Bush administration, to the complicity of the Democrats in
not stopping him on the war, stopping him on the tax cuts (for the wealthy).\ufffd
In that context, I have decided to run for president, Nader told Russert.
\ufffd
\ufffd
Nader called Obama the first liberal evangelist in a long time.
