What do Ralph Nader and friends think?: New survey of issues

Posted on December 11, 2008 by iwilder

Around 10,000 people answered a survey from the Nader folks ranking issues of importance. The results are worth looking at for what was important, and what was not important. Some issues touched upon: war, single-payer universal healthcare,  immigration, sustainable energy, nuclear energy (surprising results), corporate reform and more. I am sure that the subset of […]

Still, our video is mildly informative, and possibly inspirational. While Ian and I were all for Cynthia McKinney for President, we have always admired Ralph Nader. Some of the folks who were part of […]

Thanks. Interestingly, this article does mention Ralph Nader and Bob Barr, but completely leaves out Green Party Presidential Candidate Cynthia McKinney, whose poll numbers at […]
