DESCRIPTION:RALPH NADER TO HOLD RALLY AND PRESS CONFERENCE, AT THE SANTA CRUZ CIVIC 
 AUDITORIUM\n\nOn Monday, September 29th at 7:30 pm, Independent 
 Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader will be speaking at the Santa Cruz Civic 
 Auditorium, 307 Church St\nSanta Cruz, CA 95060\n\nThe theme of the Santa 
 Cruz rally, "Open the Debates," reflects the Nader/Gonzalez Campaign's call 
 for inclusive, democratic Presidential debates. Right now,\n\nthey are 
 limited to the candidates from the two corporate parties. The debates are 
 controlled by the so-called Commission on Presidential Debates, a 
 private\n\ncorporation which was created by the Democratic and Republican 
 Parties in 1987, which Walter Cronkite called an "unconscionable fraud" 
 because the CPD format\n\n"defies meaningful discourse."\nIn addition, the 
 candidates will speak about the growing, multifarious crisis California 
 residents confront, starting with a tanking economy, 
 increasing\n\nenvironmental pollution, offshore drilling and a health care 
 system broken beyond repair.\n\nWHO: Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez\n\nWHAT:
