Fw: Re: [lbo-talk] Vote Nader/Camejo 2004!

Daily Kos story.
Naderites hire Repubican petitioning firm to get
on the AZ ballot.  Same GOP petitioners are pushing
reactionary and racist initiatives, one of
them anti-immigrant, the other trying to repeal
clean money elections.

This is how it shook out:

The petition collectors were working for a GOP outfit, and were
collecting
signatures for two high-profile ballot initiatives. One is
the "Protect
Arizona Now" initiative, which is an anti-immigrant effort. The
other is an
attempt to repeal Arizona's landmark Clean Elections Bill which
provides for
public financing of political campaigns.

The actual Nader petition did its best to fudge its purpose. The
petitioners
only said they were collecting signatures for an "independent
candidate".
The words "RALPH NADER" were buried in the petition page in 9pt font.

So to make this perfectly clear -- Nader's petition effort
piggybacked on
both a xenophobic anti-immigrant effort, and an effort to roll back
the
state's public financing of elections. This is how low Nader has
sunk. Is it
any wonder his negatives are in the 70s and 80s?
