I have voted for Ralph Nader all 4 times that he ran, then continued to vote Green Party every election after that. I also worked on his campaign in his 2000, 2004, and 2008 elections. Ralph Nader is a legend and a HERO! GO GREEN ... VOTE GREEN!!! 💚 💚 💚

[RyanFeatherston]

Thank you Ralph for speaking the truth when the establishment and their talking points do not like or want to hear it.

Ralph Nader saved at least 20, 000 lives a year with his seat belt regulations alone.

Ralph Nader -- a great American, I really respect him and admire him.

[angelaasadi]

Ralph is right on. He tells it like it is. We are definitely not a democracy.

[lailakhankhan]

Ralph Nader, my hero when a teenager, his books/articles on the environment were eye openers... What a Man.

[elizabethellis]

Ralph Nader did more good than most people will ever know and they blame him when they shouldn’t.

[Eusantdac]

One of the most under-rated people in America. Yet, he's a treasure.

[AnthonyAú.GreenParty]

Ralph Nader doesn't hold back. 🌱🌻

[mikeyiniko]

I'm just glad he lived long enough to explain why what he did was so neccessary. I will never forget how ugly it got back in 2000 right after the election. This country has some serious problems.

[markweatherly]

Ralph Nader is a true patriot and national treasure. Thank you Ralph.

[KenS_Music]

Ralph Nader is an American hero. Power to the people.

All Independents, it is now time to stand together and fight against corruption.

[falsificationism]

Ralph Nader is one of the few public figures with integrity...for DECADES.

His work with consumer protections has literally saved millions of lives, and even though he didn't win, eventually an independent candidate WILL win higher office, and they'll cite Ralph Nader as their inspiration. His has been a life worth living.

[darrenalevi]

if Americans had voted for a moral figure like Nader in 2000 there would have been no Iraq war and America would be in a lot better place than it is now.

[FidesTehrani]

Nothing has changed!!! Thank you Ralph Nader!

[us]

I agree with him breaking off two party system.

Voting for the lesser of 2 evils is a failing strategy that has gotten us exactly to the disaster of a country we have today
