Nader Calls for Opening Debates, Opposing Bailouts
--------------------------------------------------



The independent presidential hopeful Ralph Nader is in New York this
week to promote a campaign to open the presidential debates to third
party candidates. Speaking on Fox News, Nader also announced a rally
tomorrow against the Wall Street bailout.

Ralph Nader: “Right now, people, working people, go into a store, and
they pay six percent sales tax for necessities of life. A $100 million
buy on a derivative of Exxon tomorrow, they don’t pay a cent sales tax.
Mc Cain and Obama have no guts. You know, they may have political
courage in some ways, military courage, but they don’t have the moral
courage, which is why we’re going to have a big rally on Wall Street
October 16th of taxpayers, investors, pensioners and workers to confront
Wall Street and, apropos Reagan and Berlin, we’re going to say, ‘Tear
down that wall.’”

Nader has been invited to take part in a third party presidential
candidate debate this Sunday at New York’s Columbia University.
