Gary Null has one of the country's longest running radio programs about health, nutrition and politics. I highly recommend these shows that are available as itunes podcasts.
Ralph Nader was a guest on the show this week to provide and update on the direction of his controversial green party/independent campaign. In the coming weeks, Gary plans to also feature Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul.
Gary's view is that we must offer Barack Obama the mandate and courage to raise the bar to go beyond talking change to living it. When elected, he will have the chance to create a cabinet that includes the various progressives who have the ability to enact true change...Kucinich, Nader, Paul, Edwards (to name a few).
Why not make the coming years a transformative time unlike anything since the 1700s?
Ralph Nader's platform addresses several issues that are not on the table for HC, BO, or JM...
1) Single-payer health care plan
2) Cut bloated military spending
3) No nuclear power -- solar power
4) Crack down on corporate crime and welfare
5) Open presidential debates to include alternative candidates
6) Adopt carbon pollution tax
7) Reverse U.S. Middle East policy
8) Impeach Bush and Cheney
9) Repeal Taft-Hartley anti-union law
10) Adopt Wall Street security speculation tax
11) End ballot access obstructionism
12) Work to end corporate personalhood
13) Strengthen investor rights to control CEO's gigantic profit/salaries
14) Allow direct democracy
15) Restore and strengthen civil justice system
The Nader/Gonzalez campaign is support by progressive and idealist voters who recognize that the two-party system does not represent them.
Dissent and alternatives are blocked out of the public debate.
A deep pathology of politics is developing due to growing political bigotry against any small thrid-party candidates who try to address majoritarian positions when the mainstream press totally overlooks them.
