Voter turnout in the US continues to plunge. The conventional explanation for the lack of interest is that the citizenry is apathetic. They'd rather be watching "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire". A more radical analysis is that people are fed up with choices like Clinton-Dole or Gore-Bush. Many see them as guys in suits representing the interests of other more wealthy guys in suits.
Few Americans have the respect and prestige that Ralph Nader commands. He was influential in the passage of the Motor Vehicle Safety Act. He helped create the Environmental Protection Agency. In recent years he has led the struggles around NAFTA, the WTO, and corporate welfare. In 1996 he was the Green Party presidential candidate and he was on the campaign trail again in 2000.
