Nader says McCain and Obama ignore Hawaiian voters
Ralph Nader’s visiting Hawaii and claiming that major party candidates Barack Obama and John McCain are ignoring the concerns of Hawaiians by failing to campaign there. Nader introduced his platform, which includes calling for Hawaiian rights (the Akaka Bill), universal health care, increasing the minimum wage to $10/hr and for more renewable energy.
Highlights from the piece in the Honolulu Star Bulletin include:
“When political candidates do not campaign in a state, voter turnout suffers,” Nader said, adding that he has campaigned in all 50 states in the last two elections.
And,
“The only vote that’s wasted is a vote for someone you don’t believe in,” Nader said.

Even the New York Times admits Ralph Nader was right about Obama
faking out Progressives and leaving them no place to go except to Ralph Nader. Time to send a message and vote for Nader.

“Dang, why not FREE Food and clothing for All,also?”
Well, if it was doable, why would anyone be against it?
What Nader proposes IS doable… But it requires tax dollars to go back to the US public services and infrastructures instead of Bush Friends, Inc.
Minimum wage + Health care = communism? You’re really making sense there…

Nader’s got his campaign message and website fine tuned this time and he is gathering ballot signatures at a rapid pace (collecting more than twice the signatures needed in Nevada for example). Further in a race between a conservative who is percevied as somewhat moderate (McCain), a centrist who is becoming less viewed as a liberal/progressive (Obama), and southern conservative Libertarian (Barr), Nader is in a great position as a true leftist to get the most votes he ever has! Nader posititions on the issues is more impressive than that Obama, see http://www.votenader.org/issues/ . CNN currently has Nader at 6 percent in the polls. As Obama moves more to the right, more of Obama’s supporters will become disillusioned with him (like I have) and move to Nader.

raplh nader is right about monoply of two parties who basicaly fight only for the poeple,s vote , and not for poeple,s right.
and yes poeples buys the media,s junk talk about ralph nader and his idea taking it as jokes, while making other candidate looking like they are the transformer of this country.raplh nader fought for the poeple,s right since his early age..and still fighting, and yes , we all know that the democratic party will do anything to shut him up includind buying his silence, but he never want to sell his principal….and that,s why i switch from obama to raplh nader….and dont be surprise of thousand like me who did the some decision …..even is not about winning, but to tell this candidates that americans are feed up about their game.
