Remember, you can remove yourself from the ZNet Free Update mailing list, or change your address, at http://www.zmag.org ------ ZNet is currently featuring: (1) Detailed reporting and contextual analysis of the events in the Mideast. This is on our top page, and in even more detail, in our Mideast Watch Section at http://www.zmag.org/meastwatch/meastwat.htm (2) Extensive coverage of Pacifica's attack on Democracy Now and popular efforts to fight back. This includes Amy Goodman's letter to the Pacifica Board at http://www.zmag.org/amypacifica.htm Also Edward Herman's detailed discussion of the events and context at http://www.zmag.org/CrisesCurEvts/Pacifica/endgame.htm And finally ZNet's long-standing Crisis coverage of Pacifica and the struggles to preserve its integrity...at http://www.zmag.org/weluser.htm The ZNet Pacifica Crisis pages include extensive materials and further links. The battle over Democracy Now and the future of Pacifica is so important that I will be sending you a separate message with suggestions on how to impact the events, later today... (3) New developments in the Nader Campaign, including new essays, etc., plus one highly unexpected entry for ZNet. That is, Time Magazine (of all institutions), on its campaign page, buried at the bottom beneath their coverage of only Gore/Bush, has an easy to use polling facility. You click to vote for Gore, Bush, Buchanon, or Nader. Over a million people had voted when I checked the results to date this morning. The results are so overwhelming and so positive that I placed a graph and tally of them on ZNet itself, right on our top page. We will update it periodically so you don't have to navigate Time's pages, unless of course you want to go there to vote in their poll (hint hint). you do, however, to get the good news, have to go to our page -- oh, hell, here it is -- Nader leading in a landslide with nearly 60% of the total votes cast. Go look for yourself... And here, for a little extra content in this message, is a very clever mailing that I received earlier today. Hey, who can resist a chain letter like this? So I thought, okay, who are my friends who I should this to...and so here you have it. ----- RALPH NADER CHAIN LETTER & PYRAMID SCHEME!!! This is a chain letter for Ralph Nader's presidential campaign. Results are GUARANTEED! Unlike most pyramid schemes, this letter won't promise to make you rich. In fact, if you give money to Ralph Nader's campaign at http://www.votenader.org you won't get a penny of it back. Corporate fat cats donate to both Bush and Gore because for them it's a profitable investment. Donating to Nader won't help you become a gazillionaire-- but it's a non-profit investment in a better future. Unlike most chain letters, this one won't threaten you with bad luck. Nader and the Green Party know how to make their own good luck: They rented Madison Square Garden on Friday the 13th and packed the house! The 15,000-person crowd was the biggest for any presidential candidate this year, and the New York Times summed it up this way: "The sold-out, four-hour rally was dubbed 'Nader Rocks the Garden'-- and he did." By working together, we can make some more good luck. At Nader's 10,000-person rally in Seattle, he told the crowd, "If everyone here tonight would call 40 other people and get them to vote Green, we'd carry the state of Washington!" If you're voting for Nader in November, send this letter to your friends. At the bottom is a list of reasons why they should do the same. Unlike most chain letters, this one doesn't end by saying, "Don't break the chain." We WANT you to break the chains -- of the two-party system! A man in Cincinnati, Ohio, did nothing when he got this letter, and for the next 20 years he had only right-wing Democrats and right-wing Republicans to choose from! So send this letter to your friends. We can't guarantee it will make Ralph Nader the next president of the United States, and it sure as hell won't make you rich. But it will change some minds. It will make people think. Results are GUARANTEED! P.S. This letter is a vegetarian form of mass communication. It contains no Spam, or other alleged animal byproducts. It is designed to be sent from friend to friend, and if you would have preferred not to receive it we apologize. Please send all complaints about the two-party system to www.algore.com or www.georgewbush.com Here's the top 10 reasons to vote Green Party on November 7: * National health care: Only Nader is for it. * The death penalty: Only Nader is against it. * The Pentagon budget: Only Nader wants to cut it. Only Nader opposed the Gulf War. * Campaign finance reform: Only Nader wants to stop corporate money from strangling our democracy, with full public financing and free TV time on the public airwaves. * Affirmative action: Only Nader says, "After more than 300 years of affirmative action to benefit white males, we definitely need affirmative action for people of color and women." > * The environment: Only Nader will give us action, not just rhetoric, on solar power and global warming. * The war on drugs: Only Nader is against it, and says drug addiction is a medical problem. * Rules for world trade: Only Nader says they must protect worker rights and the environment. * Don't waste your vote on Al Gore! If you live in New York or Texas or any other state that's already decided, you're throwing away your vote if you give it to Gore. If you vote for Nader, you will help the Green Party get 5% and qualify for federal matching funds in the next election. * Don't waste your vote on Al Gore! If you live in a state where the race is close, remember what Michael Moore says: "A vote for Gore is a vote for Bush." Vote for what you really want instead. The time to start building something new is now. To get involved, go to www.votenader.org.
