Ralph Nader will appear on the Bill Maher Show tonight on HBO. We've been told that also appearing on the show will be comedian Chris Rock. One of our favorite movies is Head of State, in which Chris Rock plays Mays Gilliam, a Chicago alderman running for President of the United States. Gilliam gives an historic speech (for Hollywood, anyway) in which he says that corporations are "stealing all the money." And the crowd yells -- "that ain't right." (YouTube has the speech posted here.)
Well, while McCain, Obama and Bush were hunkered down inside the White House yesterday working to bail out the crooks on Wall Street, we were outside in front of the White House yelling -- "That ain't right." No bailout for Wall Street crooks. McCain/Obama for the bailout. Nader/Gonzalez opposed. The NBC/WSJ poll released two days ago shows Ralph Nader at five percent nationwide. That's the same level of support that got John Anderson into the League of Women Voters debate in 1980. Why not Ralph Nader in 2008? Yesterday morning, before we headed over to the White House, we picketed the two-party controlled, corporate funded Commission on Presidential Debates. (That's us in the picture above.) We're driving hard on all cylinders to bust open the debates and make it a three way race. But right now, we need your help.
We're in the middle of our Three Way Race fund-raising drive. And we need to reach $150,000 by September 30. Thanks to your help, we're now at $63,000. But we have to bust it now to reach our goal.
So, now, let's take it home.
Give whatever you can now.
Stand with the candidacy that stands against the McCain/Obama/Bush bailout. The crooks on Wall Street should go to jail. Instead, they go to Washington for a bailout. That ain't right.
Onward to November
The Nader Team
