As it is announced that Ralph Nader plans to hold a convention for placement upon Oregon 's voter ballot in November, it seems more needed than ever. There are 2 choices we are given, a "Democrat" & a "Republican." If it is hard to decipher which is which, you are not alone.
In what seems to be happening more and more, is that we are forced to choose between two versions of the same character. Yes W. has gotten a bit far off, but John Kerry won't bring things to any suitable situation. Kerry's policies appear to be in the vain of being "A Better Bush." America doesn't need the original, nor the cheap replica, America needs drastic change. Ralph Nader, and all other third, forth, fifth, etc. party candidates, need to be embraced to enact change through elections.
Nader is the only one speaking about stopping the illegal occupation in Iraq, working towards universal health care, and changing our government so that corporations don't control the puppet strings. The self-proclaimed "democrat" John F. Kerry, a multi-multi millionaire himself, is just another character to fill in the role of ruler for the rich, protector of the shareholders, and defender of the boardroom.
I am not accepting John Kerry as a candidate. He is, just as Bush jr. is, not suitable to represent the majority of this nation. When given just two choices, more importantly, THESE two choices, democracy is spitting in our faces. The need for more parties on the November ballot is stronger than ever.
By electing John Kerry, we're just ignoring the problem that the entire system represents. Of course W has been one of the worse leaders of all time, but by electing JFK, we're just allowing similar, more watered down policies to occur. Kerry is not the answer, and Bush jr. doesn't even know there's a problem. What's needed are more candidates representing the actual majority and NOT the capital kingpins which want to continue dominating the world and exploiting their workers/prisoners/slaves.
Nader's nominating convention will be on June 26th at Benson High School Auditorium from 5 to 7pm.
