The presidential campaign is in full swing. Many corporations like ATandT and Microsoft give to both to the Democrats and the Republicans. Election 2000 will be the most lavishly funded in history. Citizens are told it's their duty to vote but many find little to choose from. One candidate is a corporate funded scion of a wealthy political family. And so is the other. Over 90 million Americans don't vote at all. Some of it may be attributed to apathy but a lot of people are fed up with the traditional choices and yearn for something different.
Few Americans have accomplished as much as Ralph Nader. For almost 40 years he has battled corporations and government on behalf of ordinary people. He was a spark in the consumer safety and environmental movements. Life magazine ranks him as one of the century's most influential Americans. He is the Green Party candidate for president in 2000.
