George,

It's not the time for Ralph Nader to enter the presidential race at the time when so much is at stake. With most people thinking that the country in heading in the wrong direction, it would seem imperative that the Democratic Party regain the WhiteHouse. Not so much that there is belief that the Dems would do a much better job in taking the WhiteHouse than the fact that the Dems would stop the damage already done. IT is important at this time in our country that Bush Administration must be thrown out of Washington. I am amazed of the massive accumalation of money the Bush Administration has amased. We must release this country from special interest and corporate america, it's ruining this country , it's people and our economy. Very few people have an opened mind to what is going on, and it is those few that see exactly what it is that's going on. This is not a time to take a party faithful stance ( this is shooting crap in the wind) but the time to take the stance on what is right by all americans.

If the circumstances were different at this time then it would be a different story. For the most part I am a Democrat and faithful to the party. My vote will definately go for Kerry regardless since I realize the importance of getting the current administration out of office. I would have to agree that Nader should stay out of the race. If the circumstances were different there would be no questions Ralph Nader would have my vote.

Sincerely ,

Ken Murtiff (electronic mail, March 17, 2004)
