Chomsky and Zinn Support Ralph's Revolt
In a newly released book, author Greg Bates reveals that noted linguist, author and political analyst Noam Chomsky and historian Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United States, have both decided to vote for independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader this November.

The book, Ralph's Revolt: The Case for Joining Nader's Rebellion highlights the views of the two celebrated residents from Kerry's home state, Massachusetts, who urge people in safe states to vote for Nader. They argue that Nader's campaign is essential to stopping the Democratic Party's move to the right, especially around the war and occupation in Iraq. In this election year the Nader-Camejo campaign is essential for voters interested in a serious voice for ending the U.S. military and corporate occupation of Iraq in the presidential election.

The book, dedicated to the staff and volunteers of the Nader-Camejo Campaign, also highlights the importance of Nader being on the ballot in the battleground states that could determine the elections outcome as important to the long-term influence or leverage on the Democrats. Otherwise there will be no pull by voters in the progressive direction while 24 hours a day corporate interests are pulling Kerry the other way toward more plutocracy and less democracy.
Ralph's Revolt notes the cumulative impact of "lesser evil voting" - making the Democratic Party more evil and less powerful. It also highlights the insecurity of the Democrats and their deplorable efforts to keep the Nader-Camejo Campaign off the ballot and block voter choice. Bates describes this as an ominous sign that is a stand against democratic process and urges the creation of a people-based third party to take back our country

Sorry bu Nader is nothing more than closet shill for Bush. Nader knew the consequences of his actions in 2000 and he put his huge, out of control ego ahead of the good of our country. Had Nader cared in 2000, Al Gore would now be int eh White House and there wouldn't be any war for oil in Iraq. Nader's behavior in 2000 made it possible for Bush to be able to get close enough in Florida and steal the 2000 election and then launch his Iraq war. I won't be caught dead voting for Nader either. Nader is nly again bus helping Bush. Chomsky and Zinnshould be ashamed for being so blind to Nader's real motives. Had the ledership of the democratic party stood with Al Gore in 2000 and put a stop to the Bush coup in Florida, our country wouldn't now be in this disaster. Not only should Al Gore now be the dem party nominee, he should be running for re-election.

Furthermore, I think it's important to remembr that in England, when the Bader counterpartLiberal Democrats broke away from the Democratic Party counterpart Labor Party, the result was 100 years of rule by the republican party counterpart the Tories. Hitler was able o gain is foothold in Germany because 2 parties split the progressive vote. Nader should've been working to unite the progressive majority and not divide it. Nader's current efforts are all about feeding his out of control ego. Nader's behavior in 2000 caused the Iraq war. Nader has only himself to blame. Nader's hypocrisy and 1984 double talkare disgusting.Or country will pay for all eternity for Nader's behavior.

Nader still has a good chunk of his millions invested in Fidelity mutualfuds which invests in all of the multi-national corporations Nader claims he hates. Nader got alot of hep from republicans in 2000 and he's getting it again now. It's republicans who want Nader on the ballot again because they know it helps Bush. Nader's hypocrisy and 1984 double talk are disgusting.Our country will pay for all eternity for Nader's behavior in 2000.
