Amusing Ourselves to Death
Computer screens.
Monster plasma televisions.
iPods.
Video games.
Are we amusing ourselves to death?
Isn’t it time we got off the couch?
And begin an outdoors movement to take back the country?
From the corporate Republicans and corporate Democrats?
Isn’t it time to put away the screens, and the video games?
And get out and get some fresh air?
Many of you have given generously to fund our ballot initiatives across the country.
Thank you all.
Our petition gatherers are now on the ground, working to get Nader/Gonzalez on the ballot in Hawaii, Arizona, and New Mexico.
Petition gathering is hard work, but it’s also a ton of fun.
And it’s a great way to see the country.
As you know, the two corporate parties make these ballot drives incredibly expensive.
Why?
Obstruction.
They don’t want competition.
But we won’t take no for an answer.
We’re ready to crash the party.
But we need your help.
If you think you’re up to it, right now we need petition gatherers in Kentucky, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Kansas.
So, if you are serious about hitting the streets, having some fun, and giving people a choice outside the corporate two party duopoly in November, then drop us a line.
If you can’t join us on the streets to gather petitions, then help fund our ballot drives all across the country.
These drives are incredibly expensive.
So, please - give whatever you can.
And give often.
We’re excited about the possibilities of challenging the McCain/Clinton/Obama corporate machine this year.
But right now, we need to get off the couch.
And on the ballot.
Hope you can join us.
Onward
The Nader Team
