Nader's "Grassroots" Campaign

TomPaine.com - Nader's "Grassroots" Campaign

For many progressives, even if you didn't vote for Ralph Nader in 2000, you had a lot of respect for what he was doing. It took guts to challenge the two-party duopoly, and Ralph seemed just the guy to do it. Fast forward four years. Nader's struggling for supporters and resorting to some unsavory techniques to get them. Turning to the GOP's phone lists, right-wing big money donors and, yes, Armey's army is no way to run a principled campaign.
