U.S. Concerns: Issues only Nader supports

Here is one issue ALL candidates want to screw us on:

Nader at No Nukes Protest 5/29/08

www.votenader.org www.officialnaderstore.com

No Nukes.
It was the battle cry in a successful anti-nuclear movement Ralph Nader led in the 1970s.

Now, nuclear power is resurgent.

Why?

Because politicians like McCain, Obama and Clinton all want to keep nuclear power on the table. All three support legislation that would provide government taxpayer subsidies and guarantees to power companies to build nuclear power plants.
Nader/Gonzalez take nuclear power off the table.

Nader/Gonzalez oppose government subsidies and guarantees to the nuclear industry. The billions are far safer and better spent supporting energy efficiency and solar energy projects than building these nuclear national security risk boondoggles.

Tomorrow (Thursday, May 29, 2008, 12 noon) Ralph Nader and the Nader/Gonzalez team will be outside the nuclear power lobby's headquarters in downtown Washington, D.C. to call for a halt to the head-long rush to nuclear power.

Once again, we will be saying loud and clear - No Nukes.

Why?

One. There's no safe place to put the waste. The waste from nuclear power plants will be toxic to humans for several hundred thousand years. Where will it go? Not Nevada. Any other ideas?

Two. Accidents. Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Browns Ferry, Fermi.

Three. National security. Nuclear reactors present an attractive target for terrorists.

Four. Costs. The average nuclear power plant will cost a average of $10 billion to $18 billion - before the inevitable cost overruns - guaranteed by the taxpayers. Because of safety, security and environmental concerns, the industry can't find investors to build them, so it is turning to Washington for corporate welfare in the form of subsidies, guarantees and insurance. As the Nuclear Energy Institute puts it "100 percent loan coverage [by taxpayers] is essential ... because the capital markets are unwilling, now and for the foreseeable future, to provide the financing necessary" for new nuclear power plants.

Four strikes and you're out.

McCain/Clinton/Obama want to keep nuclear power on the table and support legislation to subsidize the building of nuclear power plants.
Nader/Gonzalez would keep nuclear power off the table, oppose subsidies, and would instead invest to transform our centralized fossil fuel economy into a decentralized solar energy and energy conservation economy.Once again, the choice is as clear as night and day.

Bring on the sun.

Stop the waste.

Support Nader/Gonzalez.
The protest tomorrow at the nuclear industry lobby is the fourth in our series of protests inside corporate occupied territory.
If you are in the neighborhood of corporate occupied territory (read: our nation's capital), tomorrow, please come out and join with us in saying no to nuclear power and yes to a stepped up transformation to a solar energy, energy conservation economy.
If not, please donate now to help put Nader/Gonzalez' No Nukes platform on as many state ballots as possible.

Thank you for your steadfast dedication and support.

Onward.

The Nader Team

Q:: Why do both sets of puppets, support the Sharon/Likud policies in the Middle East rather than the peace movement candidates and leaders in Israel?

Ralph Nader: That is a good question because the peace movement is broad indeed. They just put 120,000 people in a square in Tel Aviv. They are composed of former government ministers, existing and former members of the Knesset, former generals, former combat veterans, former heads of internal security, people from all backgrounds. It is not any fringe movement.

The answer to your question is that instead of focusing on how to bring a peaceful settlement, both parties concede their independent judgment to the pro-Israeli lobbies in this country because they perceive them as determining the margin in some state elections and as sources of funding. They don’t appear to agree with Tom Friedman, who wrote that memorable phrase, “Ariel Sharon has Arafat under house arrest in Ramallah and Bush under house arrest in the Oval Office.”

Virtually no member of Congress can say that, and so we come to this paradoxical conclusion that there is far more freedom in Israel to discuss this than there is in the United States, which is providing billions of dollars in economic and military assistance.

Just feeding us delusions

Obama is feeding a dream - a fantasy of change and renewal.
McCain is feeding us the dream, the fantasy of power and control

How do you get people to vote against their own self interest? That's the trick.
One way is to make people believe in a dream. That's what all of the mainstream politicians are doing - feeding that dream.

Obama is feeding a dream - a dream of change and renewal.

He's feeding a dream that the conditions that surround us - Iraq, the economy, the racial divide, the class divide in this country - that they are magically going to go away by voting for this centrist Democrat.
That is nonsense, of course.

Obama is not proposing any structural changes.

McCain is feeding us the dream, the fantasy of power and control.

That somehow the military might of the U.S. will prevail across the globe. These are fantasies that are being fed by the politicians.

They are not so much lies, as delusions.

But we will have brought it on ourselves by supporting these politicians. By ignoring any candidate or any ideas that might conflict with those dreams.

The Obama moment is a feel good moment. It makes us feel good.
But the programs Obama is proposing - up and down and all around - are the same centrist Democratic positions. The same people are going to be running the show.

All of the corporations are rapidly switching their contributions to the Democrats.

These are the words of the American novelist Russell Banks.

We heard Banks the other day interviewed by Chris Lydon on Radio Open Source. (Listen to the interview)

What wasn't mentioned was Nader/Gonzalez.

So, let us say it loud and clear. Nader/Gonzalez.

Shift the power from the few to the many.

Free our government of corporate domination.

Restore the sovereignty of an engaged people.

Don't fall for the trick.

Help us put Nader/Gonzalez on the ballot. We're on our way to give the American people a choice in November.

But we need your help. And we need it now. You can give up to $4,600. But please, give whatever you can.
Shift the power. Feed the living, breathing people-powered alternative.

Support Nader/Gonzalez.

Onward.

The Nader Team
