Ralph Nader Wins the Nomination for the Peace and Freedom Delegate Convention in California, August 2nd, 2008.

After a hard-fought campaign, Ralph Nader captures the Party Nomination for the Peace and Freedom Party in California, securing his candidacy a place on the ballot there.

Thus, 10's of millions more Citizens will have a non-Corporate choice to to vote for in this crucial national election.

Going head to head with Rep. Cynthia McKinney, Ralph Nader won over the Party Delegates with his platform of Government reforms including:

The immediate, organized withdrawal of US Troops, mercenaries and contractors from Iraq and Afghanistan, stemming the flow of trillions of dollars from the public coffers into the pockets of corporate profiteers;

Adapting a Medicare-style, not-for-profit, single-payer national health care system for all Americans;

Repealing of the Union-busting Taft-Harley Act, strengthening the ability of average workers to join in collective bargaining and increasing pay scales and worker protections;

Raising the minimum wage to $10 per hour;

Forcing the corporations out of Washington, repealing their legal basis for "Corporate Personhood";

Making Corporations subservient to The People rather than vice versa;

Trying the Bush/Cheney administration in a court of Law for war crimes, and much much more.

  • Please check out he high=res version of this video that is posted on the official Nader Youtube site, username "Votenader08".

    That's the place to add " ***** " and comments.

    Go Nader, Go!

  • where can one get that picture you have of Nader at the beginning that says 'TRUTH' under it?

  • I'd like to think that the campaign will make it available on their website... We'll see.

    Till then, contact "ManilaRyceTLM" here on YT.

    Vote Nader

  • I am 31 and have never voted because every time an election occurs, the one I want to win isn't even an option by the time comes to vote. I refuse to vote for someone who is not for the American people. Ralph Nader has his own mind and expresses what he believes in. Not like the other major parties who feed us bs and expect us to lay down for them. I WILL vote this time. So should you to make a difference!

  • This video will be up on the Nader Youtube site soon!

    Please check it out again, then and re-comment, okay?

    That'll help it get some traction..

    Cheers!

    Nader 2008!

  • Nader's cool but America isn't . With an exception of a few amazing individuals and human beings/American citizens we have, the chance of everyone being cool like Nader and getting Nader in the white house is pretty low. And I realize cool is an oldschool word. But with the welcoming of A/C's and with the globe heating more and more each year, I think cool is the perfect word to describe .. cool. ;)

  • nader and the greens and all of the "racial" groups on either side need to heal their rifts, learn respect, and learn to work together for mutual benefit or a progressive movement will never be viable. splitting off into small strident groups may feel cathartic, but only unity will make political change possible.

  • Congratulations Ralph Nader!

    America! Shake off the shackles of your polyarchy. Vote for Ralph Nader in '08! You all deserve an administration that will respect with integrity and diligence your admirable Constitution. Ralph Nader has been successfully fighting for Americans for decades. Don't trust me, just browse his name and you will instantly view the litany of contributions he has made on your behalf.

    So remember in November: Vote for Ralph Nader in '08!

  • great vid. thanks for posting!

  • " Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

    ------------

    Your vote is your constitutional right, so don't let them take that away from you. Vote for who you belive in.

  • Great work Dutch. When you don't even notice that the shot is being directed or that you're watching a movie, that's the sign of a great director. it's also great to hear some of his personal ideas on socialist philosophy in this one as opposed to statements about our current corporate state. i can only imagine what that conversation with castro must've been like.

  • Video-superb job!

    We can feel the joy!!!! Thank you

    Nader's speech: thoughtful, from the heart.

    It is all substance and no nonesense.

    STOP DEMOCRACY SPOLIERS- LET NADER DEBATE

    CA speak your heart and mind- VOTE NADER-Gonzalez
