    Great read, and all I have to say is HELL YEAH! If I were going to vote, Nader would get mine. I've been doing a lot of thinking about it, and if you like Nader but think you should vote for the "lesser of two evils", you shouldn't. All throughout history, people have gone into battles knowing they'd lose, but that doesn't mean their efforts didn't pave the way for ultimate victory down the road. If we don't change now, no one else is going to change it for us. If you took all the people who like Nader, but think they must vote Dem or Rep, you have a fairly substancial amount of people. With the more votes he will gain, the more popular he will become, and a louder noise of reform he will make. The Democrats and Republicans are scared of Nader, they fear a dramatic change, for what is, in my opinion, a very good change.

    Vote Nader.

    Agreed, agreed and AGREED! In my opinion, Democrats and Republicans are pretty much all the same. True, they have different stances on different issues, but once they step in office, it's all the same crap. If America wants some real change, they're gonna have to vote outside of the two main parties and think for themselves, not what the media tells them to.
