PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE RALPH NADER TO SPEAK IN COLUMBUS, OH

WHO: Ralph Nader

WHAT: Press Conference

WHEN: Thursday, October 30 at 12:00pm

WHERE: The Crypt, Ohio Statehouse, 77 S High St, Columbus, OH 43215

On Thursday, October 30 at 12:00pm, consumer advocate and Presidential candidate Ralph Nader will hold a press conference in The Crypt at the Ohio Statehouse. He will speak about the Wall St. Bailout, single-payer health care, the Iraq War, the environment, and the state of the Presidential debates from which he was excluded.

Ralph Nader is the only Presidential candidate who supports jail time, not bail time for Wall Street fat cats (and the only one who has been pointing out the risks of deregulation for the last 20 years).  He is the number three contender for the Presidency, America’s number one consumer advocate, and he has real solutions to our economic woes.

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.
