Matt Funiciello reports that independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader will be in Albany tonight.
Corporate mainstream media is NOT doing its job to report the news!
Have they told us there will be SIX viable presidential candidates on the NYS ballot this November?
Have they told us that one of them, Ralph Nader, will be speaking at The Egg in Albany tonight?
Did you know that you don't have to accept the two corporate choices American media is force feeding us?
Did you know that Ralph Nader was against the bailouts and is against corporate welfare?
Did you know that he is an absolute supporter of Single-Payer Health Care?
Did you know he will get our soldiers and our corporations out of Iraq starting on Day One?
Did you know that he is for alternative and sustainable energy (solar and wind, not "clean coal" or "safe nukes")?
Did you know that he's on the ballot in 45 states and is being equally virtually ignored by all media (Fox, Clear Channel, PBS, NPR & the N.Y. Times alike)?
Did you know that the polling organization whose job it is to shut independents out of the "debates" recently admitted this is done arbitrarily?
Did you know that we can celebrate democracy by taking it into our own hands?
Come see a real American citizen in Albany tonight! See you there!

Also, I noticed that yesterday, C-SPAN had an interview with George Farah, head of a non-partisan organization called Open Debates. Open Debates wants to replace the corporate-funded, two-party Duopoly controlled and anti-democratic Commission on Presidential Debates with a structure that will present the American citizenry with more points of view than the 1 1/3 they are force fed under the present closed system. Perhaps once a true diversity of voices are permitted into the debates, then they will actually become debates rather than mere regurgitations of well-worn soundbytes.
Sadly, useful but marginal media outlets like C-SPAN are about the only places you'll be exposed to points of view like those of Ralph Nader and pro-democracy advocates.
