Ralph Nader will be on the Pacifica Radio show “Democracy Now!” on Thursday morning. That means that it will air in the NYC/Long Island area at 9am on 99.5 FM WBAI, and then be repeated in the afternoon on 90.1 FM WUSB Stony Brook. For other places, you can check your local listings or view at www.democracynow.org.
Nader will also be on Wolf Blitzer’s show on CNN on Sunday. Ian and I do not have a television. So, we will leave it to you to look that one up! (TV is yucky and violent and encourages you to sit down and shut up. We like local music, interactive computer discussions, getting work done for peace and justice.) (Just in case you really have to watch TV, watch something like this Nader on CNN thing, or Public Access Television [which we have a show on, funny enough.])

When Ralph is asked, as he will be over and over, about “spoiling,” see if he tries to argue he wasn’t a spoiler with all sorts of equations, or whether he explains that “spoiling” is a problem that is inherent in our flawed election system and uses the opportunity to advocate for changing the system. There will be no growth of third parties in this country unless we have Instant Runoff Voting, Approval Voting, Range Voting – anything but the unfair plurality system we have.
