Getting Nader (or any other serious non-corporate contender) into the
debates WILL change the (corporate controlled) terrain upon which
American electoral activity occurs.
I'm sure most Frenchmen stood by while others stormed the Bastille.
That's typical.

below, which can change the terrain upon which electoral activity
occurs, and you talk about a movement to get Nader into the debates.

While walking along the streets of Seattle during the WTO protests,
I overheard two satin-jacketed members of the Steamfitters Union
talking as they walked to one of the many rallies within the
protest. "Thomas Jefferson says to err on the side of the
revolution," one was telling the other. The streets of Seattle were
alive with tens of thousands from all over the world who understand
what the corporations are up to. In nearly every block of Seattle
there was at least one organization that was Nader inspired. Nader
also held recaps of the day's activities for the press and others
at the end of each day of the protests. There are people who talk
and analyze, and then there are those who do. Nader does. And union
members were out in force in their colors. The press ignored both.
But I reckon that anyone who was there knows there's a revolution
going on, whether it's televised or not.
Get Nader into the debates. Elect Cindy Sheehan. These are my
present goals.
