Twenty-seven Reasons to Draft Ralph Nader for President

The reasons are ...

1. Hillary

2. John McCain

3. Seat belts

4. The abuse the Katrina victims by their insurance companies

5. 650,000+ dead Iraqi civilians

6. 3000+ dead U.S. military

7. The Black Budget

8. Torture

9. The CIA

10. Blackwater

11. Lack of access to Health care which causes the deaths of 18,000 US citizens every year.

12. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, MSNBC

13. Factory farming and franken foods

14. Monsanto

15. The loss of family farms

16. The lack of regulations to restrict predatory practices by the banking and credit card industry

17. The mortgage crisis

18. Global warming

19. The loss of good will toward the U.S. around the world. Ralph could restore the status of the U.S.

20. He is not a Republican.

21. He is not a Democrat.

22. He is not an Empire builder.

23. He would not invade Iran, Cuba, Syria, Venezuela, Finland, Switzerland, Canada, Mexico, or New Zealand.

24. Ralph owes no favors to any corporation.

25. Ralph cannot be bought.

26. Ralph has a long history of quietly working behind the scene to help ordinary people in their struggles against the powerful - such as the time he helped a group of New Jersey citizens oppose the construction of a floating nuclear power plant off the coast of Atlantic City. Ralph quietly came to Cape May, no fan-fare, no political motives. He helped the people. The people won. The floating nuclear plant was not built.

27. Ralph is smart, incorruptible, and honest.

Ralph is not the only candidate who should be considered for the presidency. There are others who are also qualified, such as Dennis Kucinich, Angela Davis, Cynthia McKinney, Ward Churchill, William Blum, Cindy Sheehan, and many, many more.   

Rosemarie Jackowski is an advocacy journalist living in the USA. She was arrested, tried, and convicted for her participation in a peaceful protest of the war. The conviction was appealed and overturned in the State Supreme Court. The government then announced plans to retry the case. Finally, after years of legal proceedings, all charges were dropped.

Thanks, Jurgen
Thanks for the comment. I will check out your book. There are thousands of reasons to support Nader. I have been writing him in for many years. Sometimes when I suggest that to voters, they are surprised that a voter can write in a candidate. Most US voters have chosen ignorance over an informed vote.

Because I LOVE Nader
Ralph Nader needs to connect with his grassroots supporters who have joined the Ron Paul rEVOLution. This is an opportunity to educate, not as a professor, but as a patriot, and Nader is. This is a great opportunity, if you truely want to end the duopoly. We can do it. Don't be afraid. Ron Paul has many of the same goals as Nader, let's work together, not like neocons and neolibs, not as fringe party loyalists or wingers, but as a balance to the Duopoly. We the people need a Duet (we don't need a one party ruled USA in 08 all Democrat houses) Ron Paul campaign is FUNDED by the rEVOLution..JOIN THE rEVOLution and let's get Nader's message out and unite against the NWO (multinational corporate elites employing the UN/USA to wage unfair illegal wars globally for profit...I can go on..but you know what I'm talking about. Granny Warriors for Ron Paul just funded Kucibich's recount in NH...grassroots...I LOVE Nader, and after supporting three of his presidential campaigns (and I'm still shook up after collecting ballot signatures; my gawd the abuse I took) I see a good opportunity for two very unreasonalbe men to UNITE those on the right and left who are not neocons and neolibs.

Ron vs Ralph
Thanks for the comment, Jeanette. 
Ron Paul and Ralph Nader are far from each other when it comes to domestic policies. Paul supports corporations. Nader is opposed to corporate control. Paul is opposed to health care for all. Nader supports health care for all. Paul is a total Capitalist. Nader is not. Their only area of agreement is on the war. Most Nader supporters would NEVER vote for Ron Paul...
