Ralph Nader doesn't have the biggest problem of most third- and fourth-party candidates: name recognition. Since the mid-1960s, when he burst on the national scene with his book on dangerous automobiles, "Unsafe At Any Speed," Nader has been one of the nation's best known consumer advocates. The founder of Public Citizen, Nader is running a shoestring campaign. He is not accepting campaign contributions and deliberately has distanced himself from organizers of the Green Party, to avoid violating campaign finance restrictions on coordinated expenditures. Nader, in effect, has lent his famous name to the Greens in hopes party organizers can build their party faster because of it. Nader's key issue is corporate power over the nation's political institutions and the economy, and he is equally disgusted with the Republicans and Democrats. Nader calls them "the Rep-Dem Party, which is essentially a corporate party with two heads wearing different makeup."

Perhaps the world's best-known consumer advocate, Ralph Nader has spent four decades calling people's attention to issues including health and safety, workers' rights and corporate influence. Along the way, he has written several books and founded a number of consumer-advocacy organizations. He may be best known... for his presidential run in 2000 on the Green Party ticket. Many Democrats -- and more than a few Republicans -- accuse or credit him with costing Al Gore the election.

Ralph Nader received 2,882,955 votes in the 2000 election. If each of those people threw one masturbation house party and invited 16 friends, convincing them to vote for Nader through the power of masturbation, Nader could easily win the presidency, ushering in a new era of peace and self-love. So start planning your own 'Nads for Nader house party today!

Ralph Nader set out to set the Democratic Party straight in the 2000 presidential campaign. Many from the party blame him for the Bush victory, while supporters give him credit for keeping Democrats true to their mandate. Will he run again in 2004? If he does, some say it will crush Democratic hopes of victory.
