THE NADER/GONZALEZ
CAMPAIGN FILES FOR IDAHO BALLOT LINE
Supporters of Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader will
submit petitions to the Idaho Secretary of State's office Monday Aug.
25, to place Mr. Nader and running-mate Matt Gonzalez on the November
2008 election ballot.
Idaho will be the 39th state in which the Nader/Gonzalez Campaign has
filed for a ballot line since Mr. Nader announced his intent to run
during a February 24 appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press". To qualify
to appear on Idaho's ballot, state law requires submission of 5,985
registered voters' signatures. The names must be submitted first to the
counties in which the signatories reside for validation and then the
Campaign was required to collect them from county officials and deliver
them to the Idaho Secretary of State. The Campaign submitted more than
13,000 signatures to county officials and on Monday will submit more
than the number of validated signatures required to appear on the
state's presidential ballot in the November election.
Colin Burch, Idaho Nader/Gonzalez state Coordinator, will host a news
conference at 3 p.m. on the front steps of the Borah Post Office
building, 304 North 8th Street, Boise ID (at the corner of 8th and
Bannock Streets).
This November Idahoans will have a choice: the status quo parties of
Obama and McCain or the Nader/Gonzalez ticket that promises to "Shift
the Power" from big business corporations to "We The People!"

About Ralph Nader
Attorney, author, and consumer advocate Ralph Nader has been named by
Time Magazine one of the "100 Most Influential Americans in the 20th
Century." For more than four decades he has exposed problems and
organized millions of citizens into more than 100 public interest
groups advocating solutions. He led the movement to establish the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and
was instrumental in enacting the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Motor
Vehicle Safety Act, the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and countless
other pieces of important consumer legislation. Because of Ralph Nader
we drive safer cars, eat healthier food, breathe better air, drink
cleaner water, and work in safer environments. Nader graduated from
Princeton University and received an LL.B from Harvard Law School.
About Matt Gonzalez
Matt Gonzalez was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in
2000 representing San Francisco's fifth council district. From 2003 to
2005, he served as Board of Supervisors President. A former public
defender, Gonzalez is managing partner of Gonzalez & Leigh, a
7-attorney practice in San Francisco that represents individuals and
organizations in mediation, arbitration, and administrative proceedings
before state and federal regulatory bodies. Gonzalez graduated from
Columbia University and received a JD from Stanford Law School.
About the Nader/Gonzalez Campaign
According to a CNN-Opinion Research Corp. poll conducted from July
27-29, Ralph Nader is at 6 percent nationally (equivalent to about 10
million eligible voters), higher than his highest major poll numbers
during the same time period in 2000 and approaching the 10 percent
threshold required for eligibility to participate in "America's
Presidential Debate in New Orleans," a Google-sponsored event scheduled
for September 18. In the key swing state of Michigan -- whose
Democratic voters were partially disenfranchised by the Democratic
National Committee -- an EPIC-MRA poll found Nader at 8-10 percent.
