Green Party 2000 Convention Roll Call of States caharvey2007 2022-01-15 | The entire instructions and roll call of states to choose the Green Party candidate for President of the United States. Note the use of Ranked Choice Voting, although second and third choices were moot because Ralph Nader (and Winona LaDuke for Vice President) won an overwhelming majority of first place votes. Then the other two contenders, Stephen Gaskin and Jello Biafra, readily threw their support to the Nader/LaDuke ticket. There was also one vote for "None of the Above" (Nader had been pushing for that to always be an option on any sort of ballot). This is excerpted from the full Justice Vision 3-tape set of VHS recordings of the Green Party 2000 Convention in Denver, Colorado, which spanned three days. Trivia: I am the delegate who got to report the Michigan votes.

Ralph Nader & Tim Russert, Meet the Press, 02/22/2004 caharvey2007 2021-12-16 | Ralph Nader is interviewed by Tim Russert on Meet The Press, February 2, 2004, concerning Nader's decision to run (as an Independent) for President in the 2004 election. My only real issue with Nader is that he would never talk about Ranked Choice Voting (aka Instant Runoff Voting), even when I personally (in person) asked him to, even though the whole "spoiler" argument is the perfect opportunity to promote Ranked Choice Voting. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -February 22, 2004 SundayHEADLINE: Ralph Nader discusses his decision to run for presidentBODY:MR. RUSSERT: And we are back joined by Ralph Nader.Welcome.MR. RALPH NADER: Thank you.MR. RUSSERT: What's your decision?MR. NADER: After careful thought and my desire to retire our supremely selected president, I've decided to run as an Independent candidate for president. And if you'll allow me to explain why, I'll give some of the reasons with elaboration coming on our Web site, votenader.org.First of all, this country has more problems and injustices than it deserves, and more solutions and goodwilled people applying those solutions. That's because there's a democracy gap. There's just too much power and wealth in too few hands, increasingly giant corporation, hands that have no allegiance to our country or our communities other than to control them or to abandon them. They have taken over Washington. There's massive media exposes documenting that in all the mainstream media.Washington is now a corporate-occupied territory. There's a "For Sale" sign on almost every door of agencies and departments where these corporations dominate and they put their appointments in high office. The Congress is what Will Rogers once called "the best money can buy." Money is flowing in like never before that sells our elections. What does that mean to the American people? It means that corporations are saying no to the necessities of the American people. They're saying no to health insurance for everyone, no to tax reform, no to health and safety standards, no to stopping corporate welfare into hundreds of billions, no to straightening out the defense budget, which is bloated and redundant, as many retired generals and admirals said, no to access to our courts. It's time for people to say yes and we need more civic and political energies inside the campaign to challenge this two-party duopoly that's trending toward one-party districts all over the country.MR. RUSSERT: Mr. Nader, as you know, this decision is going to upset a lot of people. The Nation magazine, an institution that you have had a close relationship with all your life, wrote this editorial: "Ralph, this is the wrong year for you to run: 2004 is not 2000. ... The contest for an independent presidential bid is completely altered from 2000, when there was a real base for a protest candidate. The overwhelming mass of voters with progressive values ... have only one focus this year: to beat Bush. Any candidacy seen as distracting from that goal will be excoriated by the entire spectrum of potentially progressive voters. If you run, you will separate yourself, probably irrevocably, from any ongoing relationship with this energized mass of activists. Look around: Almost no one, including former strong supporters, is calling for you to run ... Ralph, please think of the long term. Don't run."And we've been inundated with e-mails. There's a Web site that actually says www.ralphdontrun.net, and I want to air this in its entirety for you to watch it, for the country to watch it, and then give you a full chance to respond. Let's watch:(Videotape):Announcer: The 2000 presidential race was the closest in American history, a swing of just three electoral votes anywhere in the country and George Bush would never have become president. You can blame Gore's mistakes in the campaign, the Florida recount debacle, the Supreme Court intervention, but after all those events, one fact remains: Ralph Nader's candidacy tipped the balance to Bush. With just 1 percent of the votes cast for Ralph Nader, Gore wins Florida and the election. Netting a third of Nader's votes, Gore takes New Hampshire as well. The simple fact is if Nader had not run, Gore would be president, not Bush. Today, Ralph Nader is thinking of running again, and he says he'll announce his plans in the next few weeks. This time, in 2004, the stakes are far too high. This time, we need Ralph Nader with us, not against us. Here's how you can help. Visit Ralph Nader's Exploratory Committee Web site and send the message: Ralph, please don't run.... (rest of transcript would not fit here)Copyright 2004 National Broadcasting Co. Inc.
