ACTION ALERT: Help Open the Debates this Thursday, September 25th



The National Day of Action is going to happen across the country tomorrow. Nader/Gonzalez supporters are setting up protests and events in Colorado, California, Vermont, Ohio, Iowa, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Georgia, New York and many other states.

Inform your community that the corporately funded Commission on Presidential Debates discriminates against third party candidates and independents. Visit votenader.org/debates for more information and sample letters.

There's still time to organize an event in your community and pass out fliers. Check out our new National Day of Action Fliers by clicking here.
