Greens rallied behind a 15 foot puppet of Ralph Nader. The activists were protesting the Commission of Presidential Debates (CPD) for raising to 15% the polling percentage needed to qualify for the debates. CDP is a private organization run by the former heads of the democratic and republican parties. The organization raised the qualifying polling percentage from 5% to 15% after the 1996 elections. The Greens feel this was done to exclude third party candidates such as Ralph Nader from entering the debates. For more information go to http://www.debatethis.orgwww.votenader.org

Of course voting "works." Otherwise they'd make it easy and give us real choices. Well now we finally have one. As the French saying goes, if you don't do politics, politics will do you. VOTE NADER!

Happy to see that the Nader puppet we built wasn't arrested in LA! If any other Nader groups want to commission another one, please contact us.
