Ralph Nader
Biography:
For more than four decades, Ralph Nader has saved lives, opened minds, implemented solutions, and inspired citizens everywhere to participate in building a better, more democratic world. He has founded or organized more than 100 civic organizations, authored countless books and publications, and perhaps more than any other person has defined our modern understanding of the American ideals of democracy, civic duty, and participation for the public good, rather than dominance by the corporate powers. Known for his ethics, integrity and independence, Ralph Nader is recognized world-wide for putting democracy to work.
What is less well known is that in his 2000 bid for President of the United States, Ralph Nader earned the votes of citizens across the political spectrum. Under the banner, 'Not for Sale', millions responded to Nader's message to the American people calling for greater accountability for corporations and an end to corporate-controlled government. According to the exit polls conducted by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg, fully 25% of his votes came from Republicans, 38% from Democrats, and the remainder from people who would not have voted. No other American leader can be credited with such broad appeal across the divides of our polarized nation. No other American leader can claim such unfettered independence from the ethically bankrupt quagmire of insider politics where the lives of ordinary Americans are regularly sacrificed to commercial interests.

He described hearing a baby cry in the middle of the night and later witnessed a teenage girl holding an infant just before she walked right through a wall. A night watchman at a cemetery also called in, and said he sees Shadow People every other night. He traipsed through the graveyard live on the air, and read the names off a few headstones. We also heard from T.J., an "archaeologist/parapsychologist" who told of finding a 65-million-year-old artifact that contained Gaelic-like writing. He said it was written on an unusual kind of paper that wouldn't burn when put under fire, and claimed that the text referred to an ET spa ... More »
