Ralph Nader’s Prison Reform Plan–End the Drug War! 3/5

April 28, 2010 - 7:11 am 2 Comments


Ralph Nader was interviewed on August 8th, 2008 on C-SPAN. He lays out the Nader/Gonzalez presidential roadmap for prison reform. Nader/Gonzalez would legalize and regulate drugs, release all drug-war prisoners, provide addicts with rehabilitation instead of harsh punishment, as we do with cigarettes and alcohol. In place of the drug war, he would implement a war on corporate criminals, locking up those who truly rob and kill the most people, by far (white-collar crooks). Call the Obama Campaign (866-675-2008) right now and ask them to send a message to the higher-ups in the campaign about why Obama doesn’t want to debate Nader. Tell them if he is really open to it he has to make it a public fight with the debate commission, not just say “I’m open to it.” Even if you are afraid not to vote for Obama, at least tell the pollsters you’re voting for Nader/Gonzalez, so they can get in the debates… and pressure the Debate Commission to let them in this time!
