RALPH NADER TO HOLD RALLY AND PRESS CONFERENCE, AT THE SANTA CRUZ CIVIC AUDITORIUM
On Monday, September 29th at 7:30 pm, Independent Presidential Candidate Ralph Nader will be speaking at the Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St Santa Cruz, CA 95060 The theme of the Santa Cruz rally, "Open the Debates," reflects the Nader/Gonzalez Campaign's call for inclusive, democratic Presidential debates. Right now, they are limited to the candidates from the two corporate parties. The debates are controlled by the so-called Commission on Presidential Debates, a private corporation which was created by the Democratic and Republican Parties in 1987, which Walter Cronkite called an "unconscionable fraud" because the CPD format "defies meaningful discourse." In addition, the candidates will speak about the growing, multifarious crisis California residents confront, starting with a tanking economy, increasing environmental pollution, offshore drilling and a health care system broken beyond repair. WHO: Ralph Nader and Matt Gonzalez WHAT: Press Conference and Rally WHEN: Monday, September 29th, 7:30 p.m. Press Conference; 7 p.m WHERE: Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium, 307 Church St Santa Cruz, CA 95060 Volunteer: If you or your group would like to table or help promote the event contact Tyler and the number below.

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. ![]()
