More quotes by Ralph Nader
Word of mouth is the most effective means of communication.
Ralph Nader
We have two parties who are basically hijacking our country for their corporate paymasters. And if we focus on 535 members of Congress, that's not all that many, we're going to see a fast turnaround. So focus all your concerns, all the information, the kind of agenda the Green Party has. Turn it right on your Senators and Representatives.
Ralph Nader
President [ Dwight] Eisenhower warned us, five star general, he said watch out for the military-industrial complex. That's a threat to our freedom, to our economy, and what we have now is a gigantic taxpayer draining empire that is devouring itself, which, as you say, it's creating more resistance, more fighting, against us oversees.
Ralph Nader
I can say that you [Jill Sander] are my successor on the Green Party ticket so I know a little bit about what you're going through and I'm sure listeners are eager to hear you out.
Ralph Nader
Ford Motor Company's sluggish and piecemeal approach to its automotive responsibilities betrays motorists' safety.
Ralph Nader
Justice needs money it always has . . . whether for abolition of slavery and early women's rights movements or the civil rights and environmental drives of our generation.
Ralph Nader
Addiction should never be treated as a crime. It has to be treated as a health problem. We do not send alcoholics to jail in this country. Over 500,000 people are in our jails who are nonviolent drug users.
Ralph Nader
Everything will be solar in 30 years.
Ralph Nader
Ours is a system of corporate socialism, where companies capitalize their profits and socialize their losses…in effect, they tax you for their accidents, bungling, boondoggles, and mismanagement, just like a government. We should be able to deselect them.
Ralph Nader
There are very significant ways around America on how to break its grip, which is, of course, a way to exclude dissenting voices before tens of millions of people.
Ralph Nader
There are some people in this world who would never plant a seed because it doesn't produce fruit the first season.
Ralph Nader
This (George W. Bush's) administration is not sympathetic to corporations, it is indentured to corporations
Ralph Nader
Is there a number or mark planned for the hand or forehead in a new cashless society? YES, and I have seen the machines that are now ready to put it into operation.
Ralph Nader
We must strive to become good ancestors.
Ralph Nader
The corporations have become our government. They're not just influential. Department by department, you name it, they put their people in high government positions, they have 10,000 PACs and 35,000 lobbyists, so there's no more opening to be heard.
Ralph Nader
By the time you rise through the ranks, the culture of homogenization has bred the spirit and imagination out of you.
Ralph Nader
That could be a high water mark for the Green Party in its history. What two states, I can only guess, aren't you going to be on because of horrendous obstacles to getting on the ballot.
Ralph Nader
We live in a two-party tyranny that doesn't believe in competition, can enforce it with penalties and obstructions, and they're getting closer and closer to being both one corporate party with two heads having different labels.
Ralph Nader
Members of Congress are like the voters in one respect -- they want to go with the winners.
Ralph Nader
It's all these pundits, all these consultants, and the candidates, as if they're in a bubble leaving democracy off-limits.
Ralph Nader
