Why write this incorrect article? Why waste anyone’s time? I haven’t supported Nader in the past, but he is aware and fighting many of the problems in this country and should not be bashed.

The article would also be currently inaccurate, the matching funds are less than 13% of the total raised. I’m pretty sure the total is around 3.25 million for the Nader campaign to date.

Obama went back on his word to take only public funding capped at I forgot how many millions. This has enabled him to raise obscene amounts of money.
Another flip-flop, what’s new?

Yeah, compare Nader’s smaller contribution dollars to Obama’s. And then you will see the effect of corporate lobbyist funding.

Nader/Gonzalez takes no corporate money, instead asking for as little as $2, $6, and $10 from its supporters.

We’ll gladly have the smaller figure. We take pride in not being corporate sellouts.

Well check this. When you register to vote you have the option of having $3 taken out of your taxes to go to the public campaign fund. What they don’t tell you is that it actually pays for the Democratic and Republican convention parties.

And that EVEN IF YOU CONTRIBUTE, YOUR CANDIDATE WILL NOT GET A CHANCE TO DEBATE!!!

I don’t happen to be supporting Nader, but what a stupid sentiment propounded by this article. Public funding is the only assurance we have that public office will not always go to the wealthiest contender.
