Open letter to Ralph Nader, independent voters, and fellow Nader 2000 voters,

 

A crazy idea I have:

 

If the Reform Party can endorse Ralph Nader than maybe Nader can endorse John Kerry.

 

After negotiations with Kerry on key issues of course. :)

 

If negotiations are successful, then Nader can openly endorse Kerry at some kind of media press conference where Nader and Kerry shake hands.

 

Nader can then recommend that people vote for Kerry. But Nader stays in the race.

 

That way people who just can't vote for Kerry can still vote for Nader. And Nader doesn't break his promise not to withdraw.

 

Some possible issues that Kerry and Nader might agree on:

 

-----------

 

Support for runoff elections in future presidential elections.

 

Support for runoff elections in all elections.

 

Support for easy uniform ballot access across the USA.

 

A constitutional amendment to block corporate money in elections.

 

A constitutional amendment to require media coverage of most candidates meeting certain thresholds.

 

Support for proportional representation.

 

Support for a voting age of 17.

 

 

A constitutional amendment requiring Congressional approval each year to renew declarations of war, occupations, etc..

 

Support for study of why the USA has over 2.2 million of the world's 9 million prisoners.

 

Etc., etc..
