Hundreds of young activists, inspired by Nader's work, came to DC to help him with other projects. They came to be known as "Nader's Raiders" who, under Nader, investigated government corruption, publishing dozens of books with their results:

Nader's Raiders (Federal Trade Commission)
Vanishing Air (National Air Pollution Control Administration)
The Chemical Feast (Food and Drug Administration)
The Interstate Commerce Omission (Interstate Commerce Commission)
Old Age (nursing homes)
The Water Lords (water pollution)
Who Runs Congress? (Congress)
Whistle Blowing (punishment of whistle blowers)
The Big Boys (corporate executives)
Collision Course (Federal Aviation Administration)
No Contest (corporate lawyers)
Destroy the Forest (Destruction of ecosystems worldwide)
Operation: Nuclear (Making of a nuclear missile)
In 1971, Nader founded the non-governmental organization (NGO) Public Citizen as an umbrella organization for these projects. Today, Public Citizen has over 140,000 members and scores of researchers investigating Congressional, health, environmental, economic and other issues. Their work is credited with facilitating the passage of the Safe Drinking Water Act and Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), and prompting the creation of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

In the 1970's and 1980's Nader was a key leader in the anti-nuclear power movement. "By 1976, consumer advocate Ralph Nader, who later became allied with the environmental movement 'stood as the titular head of opposition to nuclear energy'" [21] [22] He advocates the complete elimination of nuclear energy in favor of solar, tidal, wind and geothermal, citing environmental, worker safety, migrant labor, national security, disaster preparedness, foreign policy, government accountability and democratic governance issues to bolster his position.

Nader has authored, co-authored and edited many books, which include:

I've never subscribed the argument for the lesser of two evils vote. I was glad, earlier this year, that Ralph Nader encouraged Cynthia McKinney to enter the race, because I'd never realized what a brilliant and loving woman Cynthia is. Then, briefly, I was confused when Ralph Nader chose to run as well. But, as soon as I looked at Ralph's platform, I knew I had to get behind both Ralph and Cynthia because of the prominence of Ralph's anti-nuclear stance.

We so desperately need people like Ralph to run for the office... I for one was considering not voting this year until he decided to run

[s3ne]

Chemical Feast was one of the best books by him. I'm surprised the government mafia hasn't killed him off or tried to. The guy has balls, for real.

NADER ALL THE WAY 08

[4kab123]

America is so lucky to have Ralph Nader and Ron Paul, Denis Kucinich. God bless.

How to rebuild our economy???

The best way is to demand a 30 hour work week for all Federal employees. This one change would create 20 million new Federal jobs. .... Where do you think the 40 hour week comes from??

It was invented by workers like you & me. Chicago workers went on strike for the right to share jobs. Ford was the first business owner to adopted the 40 hour week. In appreciation workers announced a special holiday, worldwide to celebrate May Day.

Nader's energy and environmental policy is SUPERB. We are very very close to living in a one party system.

[ayzmani]

How dead on is this guy, Democrats, Republicans both shit, will spin the country like a top. Need a revolutionary third party, the media goes out of their way to brand third party candidates as psychos because our media is controlled by the two parties.
