Nader has already achieved more positive change for this country than many of our presidents! He has saved countless lives by forcing car manufactures in the early 70's to add safety features to automobiles. The clean water act, the clear air programs... Thank you Mr. Nader.

The rule is that an independent candidate can only be a part of the presidential debate if he currently holds at least 15% of the vote according to the polls. What percent does Nader have?
