    Ralph Nader has never, ever stopped fighting for us, the 99%, Working people, We, The People. Thank you, Ralph, for showing us what integrity and justice really look like! Thanks for your life-long dedication to being our advocate. You've save our lives, you've educated us. You've shown us what greatness looks like.

    " A 1000 word essay on your civic responsibilities, can you do it "?
    Ralph Nader doesn't abandon individualism for group think. Instead, he credits individual creativity as the basis for communal success.
    Ralph Nader is the real deal.

    The system keeps us all busy to death working to pay bills and never get ahead. Never have time to develop ourselves in any way, participate in the political system, heck, no time for our children and animals. And this is coming from someone who doesn't shop, have expensive hobbies, toys, vacations, or clothes and jewelry. Trying to pay for monthly rent and utilites, keeping two older cars on the road with regular issues, and dealing with surprises-my wife can't see anymore and needs glasses, I need a dentist, something needs replacing. Must work all the time to keep up. I wish I was a little smarter. I want to be politically active and do my part. I'm just spent financially and physically.

      Tim M None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are Free...
      The Men the American People admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars and criminals; the Men they detest most are those who try to tell them the Truth...
      The only difference between the Corporate (R)REPS and (D)DEMS is the velocity with which their knees hit the floor when Corporations, the Military Industrial Complex, the Lobbyists, and AIPAC knock at the proverbial door.
      To learn who rules over You, look at who you're not supposed to critcize...
      Any American honest with themselves has to ask, How does One entrust the solutions to the underlying problems confronting the United States to those who are complicit in their creation?!
