At 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 27, during the Democratic National
Convention, the Nader/Gonzalez
Campaign will be holding a Super Rally for 5,000-7,000 people at the
University of Denver Magness Arena. (Check
out our new Nader/Gonzalez
video promoting our rallies here.)
A second super rally is planned for Minneapolis on September 4th at the
Orchestra Hall during the week of the Republican National Convention.
The rallies will be a call to action for opening the presidential
debates.
During his 2000 campaign, Ralph Nader
drew sellout crowds to super rallies in arenas from Portland's Memorial
Coliseum to Madison Square Garden.
After the election, the PBS NewsHour's Mark Shields called the Nader Super Rallies "the most
exciting political development of the campaign year."
"My apology to Ralph Nader
for not demanding that he be included in the debates," Shields said.
In 2004, the Democratic Party - along with its Republican allies -
smothered the Nader campaign
with phony lawsuits in a coordinated campaign of petition sabotage.
The campaign had a tough time keeping its heads above water.
Just last month, legislative leaders responsible for illegal use of tax
money to keep Nader off of
the ballot in Pennsylvania in 2004 were indicted by a grand jury in
Harrisburg.
Now, in 2008, Nader is back,
and on track to be on the ballot in 45 states -- the campaign was on
only 34 in 2004 -- and the Nader/Gonzalez
ticket is at 6 percent in the latest CNN poll.
These rallies will be part of a massive outpouring of protest in Denver
and Minneapolis against the two corporate controlled parties and their
policies of perpetual militarism and war.
Nader/Gonzalez is aiming to
bust open the presidential debates.
As Mr. Nader says, if tens
of millions of Americans can hear the Nader/Gonzalez message through the Presidential
debates, it will be a three way race.
