No other political person, neither Bush nor Gore, had gotten 20,000 people paying money to hear him speak on the campaign. Ralph was the only guy doing it. And yet the establishment media froze us out. I expected this to be on the front page of the New York Times. But it was buried twenty pages in. - JASON KAFBURY (Nader Campaign worker)
"Bush didn't know anything about world history. He was proud of saying he didn't read newspapers. He was proud of his ignorance. And we're paying the price for that. It's his profound ignorance." - Ralph Nader - Ralph Nader looks back to his childhood days in a small Connecticut town. He revisits seventeen key traditions he absorbed from his parents, his siblings, and the people in his community, and draws from them inspiring lessons for today's society. Reminder of a time when nature and community were central to the way we learned and lived. The Seventeen Traditions Amazon.com Sales Rank: #149 in Books - In our backyard, on a beautiful spring day, my mother said, "How much is a dozen eggs? How much is a bushel of apples? How much is a pound of butter?" And then she stopped and she looked up, and she said, "Nice cool breeze, isn't it? How much is that? What's that sunshine worth? Look at those birds. Hear those birds singing those beautiful songs. What price should we put on that?" At an early age that taught me there are certain things that should never be for sale. And in our democracy, elections should never be for sale. Politicians should never be for sale. Teachers should never be for sale. - Ralph Nader Ralph Nader was recently named by the Atlantic as one of the 100 most influential figures in American history, one of only four living people to be so honored. The son of immigrants from Lebanon, he has launched two major presidential campaigns and founded or organized more than one hundred civic organizations. His groups have made an impact on tax reform, atomic power regulation, the tobacco industry, clean air and water, food safety, access to health care, civil rights, congressional ethics, and much more.
