Please consider voting for the Green Part ticket--- Peter Camejo who is endorsed by Ralph Nader. Yesterday Ralph Nader had to endure a pie in the face by some cowardly Democrat who wants Gray Davis to continue sucking corporate-cock. Spread the word.

After GM tried (and failed) to get dirt on Ralph by sending call girls to ambush him in the cookie section of a grocery store, he sued and became the Nader we know today -- the white knight who goes to battle for all of us against the corporate dragons who abuse their power

Despite reviews in national publications, initial sales of the book were modest. If the public did not immediately appreciate the import of Nader's book, its chief target, General Motors, did. Worried about litigation challenging the Corvair's safety, GM hired private detectives to tail Nader in an attempt to dig up information that might discredit him, and even had women accost him in an apparent seduction/blackmail scheme. Instead, journalist James Ridgeway broke the story about GM's snooping and dirty tricks in The New Republic, prompting Senator Ribicoff's subcommittee to summon James Roche, president of General Motors, to explain his company's harassment -- and apologize.
