Ralph Nader is the only Presidential candidate who supports jail time,
not bail time for Wall Street fat cats, so come hear him speak in the
historic Cooper Union instead of watching the game show debates on TV.
Ralph will address the crowd on serious issues like withdrawing our
corporate and military forces from Iraq and more lighthearted,
entertaining subjects such as strengthening shareholder power and taxing
derivative speculation.
He will also comment on the Presidential debates from which he was
excluded. In another part of the city, while Ralph speaks in Cooper
Union, the two corporate candidates will be debating each other without
even mentioning the issues that Ralph will talk about and that matter to
the American people. Since 1988, the Commission on Presidential Debates
(CPD) has sponsored every presidential debate and kept the discussion
empty. Since its inception, the CPD has always been headed by two former
chairs of the Democratic and Republican parties. In 1987, the League of
Women Voters refused to sponsor any more presidential debates, because
the demands of the two campaign organizations would perpetrate a fraud
on the American voter.
About Ralph Nader
Attorney, author, and consumer advocate Ralph Nader has been named by
Time Magazine one of the "100 Most Influential Americans in the 20th
Century." For more than four decades he has exposed problems and
organized millions of citizens into more than 100 public interest groups
advocating solutions. He led the movement to establish the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and was
instrumental in enacting the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Motor Vehicle
Safety Act, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and countless other
pieces of important consumer legislation. Because of Ralph Nader we
drive safer cars, eat healthier food, breathe better air, drink cleaner
water, and work in safer environments. Nader graduated from Princeton
University and received an LL.B from Harvard Law School.
About Matt Gonzalez
Matt Gonzalez was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in
2000 representing San Francisco's fifth council district. From 2003 to
2005, he served as Board of Supervisors President. A former public
defender, Gonzalez is managing partner of Gonzalez & Leigh, a 7-attorney
practice in San Francisco that represents individuals and organizations
in mediation, arbitration, and administrative proceedings before state
and federal regulatory bodies. Gonzalez graduated from Columbia
University and received a JD from Stanford Law School.
About the Nader/Gonzalez Campaign
The Nader/Gonzalez independent presidential candidacy will be on the
ballot in 45 states, is polling at 5-6 percent nationally, and a new
Time/CNN poll shows Ralph Nader polling 8 percent in New Mexico, 7
percent in Colorado, 7 percent in Pennsylvania, and 6 percent in Nevada
-- all key battleground states.
