I would like to formally invite you, Ralph Nader, to come run in the Canadian election.
In related news, Adam Horovitz (aka Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys) and David Was of Was/Not Was (!!!) and their Grand Royal cohorts have offered up a fine Ralph Nader Remix of Countdown.
In the meantime, join the referendum to have Stockwell Day change his name to Dorris. This is classic 22 Minutes, but there is an important point here. However, I'm going to rob my point of any air of legitimacy it may have had by quoting a prime-time TV show about a different country, but I think there is a point in there somewhere:
“You know we forget sometimes, in all the talk about democracy, it's a Republic. People don't make the decisions, they choose the people who make the decisions. Could they do a better job choosing? Yeah. But when you consider the alternatives...”

Is there a way of letting Mr. Nader know about how millions of people who want Mr. Bush to vacate the White House feel about his destructive entry into the 2004 race? Do I like Ralph Nader? Of course I do! He has always been a Hero of mine and will continue to be so if he will just throw his support to whomever the Democratic party nominates. (A Kerry-Edwards ticket would be superb.) Will someone let me know of any other ways to convey the above sentiments to the Nader camp? Mr. Nader, Please!!!!

Raymond, if you want to tell the Nader campaign something - then send them an email. However, I suggest you speak only on your own behalf and let the other "millions of people" speak for themselves.
Also, there is a more up-to-date thread on the subject.
