WEDNESDAY, May 17 8-9a.m. (yes, in the morning!)
David Barsamian's Alternative Radio with
Presidential Candidate
RALPH N A D E R - Challenging the Duopoly
Voter turnout in the U.S. 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's on the
campaign trail again.
Tune in also every Thursday morning at the same time (8-9am) for my local
edition of Alternative Radio, which has featured Noam Chomsky, Michael
Albert, Edward Said, Patricia Ireland, Eqbal Ahmad, and others.
