Bold Ideas for Our Future with Ralph Nader
Six-time presidential candidate and long-time public advocate and activist Ralph Nader will present a series of solutions for cracking down on corporate crime and reducing the military’s budget and discuss 15 other proposed ingredients for how he believes we can get our country back on track. Nader warns that our country is in the midst of serious fiscal and social distress.
Nader is a six-time candidate for President of the United States, running as a write-in candidate in 1992 in the New Hampshire Democratic primary as a nominee in 1996 and 2000 for the Green Party. He ran independently in 2004 and 2008, receiving almost 3 million votes. Nader was named one of the “Top 100 Most Influential Figures in American History” by Atlantic Monthly. A crusading activist, Nader’s public advocacy has brought about reforms such as safer vehicles, environmental preservation, better access to government information, and increased corporate accountability.
