STOP RALPH!
Nader is expected to announce on Sunday's Meet the Press that he intends to run for President.

Please email

info@naderexplore04.org

to tell him what a bad idea this is.

Thanks!

Pass it on.

1. After 2000, I doubt he'll get many votes.
Fool me once... shame on... shame on... we won't get fooled again!

4. Agreed
The focus shouldn't be on telling someone not to run. Who cares if he runs as long as people don't vote for him. Get the message out that ever vote that isn't for the Democratic nominee is a vote (or half-vote) for Bush. Anyone who thinks differently is deluding themselves.

9. One may certainly have more than one focus
I'll be happy to choose my own without your "shoulds" and "shouldn'ts."

But thanks for your suggestion. Time to put Ralph out to pasture.

3. Ralph spins this as trying to squash free speech or something similar
Nader's arrogance rivals Bush's.

7. Free speech?
4 more years under Bush and Ashcroft, this board won't even exist and we'll all be rounded into 'happy' camps, like the one they have at Guantanamo Bay right now.

8. I've already sent him a letter
I registered Dem from green for the 2004
primary .

I was very clear to Ralph that I would not
vote for him this time around . Not because
I dislike him but because , I feel the green party
needs to grow in a different way than running someone
for President .

I believe in running small locally , and in run off
voting .

10. Right you are...
...and I mean "right" as in "correct," not---hell, you know what I mean. Anyway, as others have said, we have the option not to vote for R.N. (I mean Nader, not Nix---hell, you know what I mean), and I simply don't believe that are so many people out there who will vote for Ralph in some kinda knee-jerk fashion, so as to cause what happened in '00.

But maybe I'm wrong.

13. The Green Party is not involved this time. It's all ego.

12. It Isn't About How Many People Will Vote for Nader
It is How many more Democratic Votes the Repubs can steal with Nader in the race.
Expect Nader to do especially well in swing states with Diebold machinez.
