NADER SUPPORTERS TO
FILE NOMINATING PETITIONS
Independent
Presidential Candidate Set to Secure Ballot Line In Rhode Island
Rhode Island supporters of independent presidential candidate Ralph
Nader will file nominating petitions with the Secretary of State to
place Nader and running-mate Matt Gonzalez on Rhode Island's November
2008 election ballot. Rhode Island will be the tenth state to formally
submit paperwork for Ralph Nader's candidacy since the celebrated
consumer advocate announced his intent to run during a February 24
appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press". To qualify to appear on Rhode
Island's ballot, state law requires submission of the signatures of
1,000 registered voters. The Nader/Gonzalez campaign will submit more
than 2,000 signatures, twice the number required.

About the Nader/Gonzalez Campaign
According to a July 1 CNN poll, Ralph Nader is polling six-percent
nationally, higher than his highest major poll numbers during the same
time period in 2000 and approaching the ten-percent threshold required
for eligibility to participate in "America's Presidential Debate in New
Orleans", a non-Commission on Presidential Debates sponsored event
scheduled for September 18. In the key swing state of Michigan--whose
voters were partially disenfranchised by the Democratic National
Committee--an EPIC-MRA poll found Nader at eight-percent. For more

About Ralph Nader
Celebrated 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. His organizations have helped establish
the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Consumer Product Safety
Commission, and enact 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, breath better air, drink cleaner
water, and work in safer environments. Nader graduated from Princeton
University and received a LLB from the Harvard School of Law.
