Ralph Nader for President 2008 blog
Call Barack Obama, E-mail Janet Brown Now
Okay, time for action.
The first Presidential debate is Friday.
And we're getting stonewalled.
They won't let Ralph Nader into the Presidential debates.
So, here's what we're going to do.
It's a two step process.

Today (Monday, September 22) US News and World Report published Mr. Nader's question to the American people: Should third-party candidates be included in the debates?

With the Wall Street crisis continuing to darken the horizon, many journalists are making the same criticisms and offering the same solutions that Ralph Nader has been making for years.

Drop three dollars now on Nader Gonzalez?
Why?
