Nader Flix 08/24/08

As a big part of the homestretch push to Election Day, we are starting a new media fund drive -- $100,000 in ten days -- by the end of the Republican convention.

We're cruising. You've helped get us on 37 state ballots thus far (more to come soon) and Nader/Gonzalez has been at 5% or above in several national polls. But the big bucks news media has responded with a deep freeze-out. So, it's up to us to break through and get our own message out.

Enter the Nader Media Fund.

Nader Team Arrives in Denver 08/24/08

Dear Senator Obama:

The Nader Team just arrived in Denver for the DNC.

We wanted to see what all the fuss was about, so we paid a visit to Invesco Field, the site of your upcoming speech.

Ironically, it was easier for us to get in there than it was to get in one of your debates.

Here we are protesting that fact.

Banking on Congress 08/21/08

by Ralph Nader

This week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) officials are pushing various agencies charged with regulating banks, such as the Treasury’s Office of Thrift Supervision to more aggressively give problem banks lower ratings than they may now be receiving from regulators. Regulators give banks a rank between 1 and 5. Well-managed banks get a 1, problem banks receive a 4 or 5. The FDIC wants to see more banks getting 4s or 5s.
