Ralph Nader will bring his Independent presidential campaign to Maine, Thursday June 5, with a news conference at 7 p.m. and a campaign rally at 7:30 pm., both to be held at The First Parish of Portland, Unitarian Universalist, 425 Congress St., Portland, Maine. Rally general admission will be a contribution of $10/$5 student.
Mr. Nader will address issues major party candidates have taken "off the table" that the Nader/Gonzalez campaign has put on the table, including:
- a comprehensive, negotiated military and corporate withdrawal date from Iraq;
- a single-payer, Canadian-style, private delivery, free-choice public health insurance system for all;
- a living wage and repeal of the anti-union Taft-Hartley Act;
- a no-nuke, solar-based energy policy supported by renewable, sustainable, energy-efficient sources;
- a carbon tax to deter global warming;
- an end to the corporate welfare and corporate crime that has resulted in millions losing pensions, savings and jobs and squandered tax dollars; and,
- more direct democracy reflecting the preamble to our constitution which starts with "we the people," and not "we the corporations."
