Ralph Nader at his "Open the Debates" rally in Minneapolis on Sep 4, 2008, discussed the upcoming National Press Club press conference on Wednesday morning, Sep 10, 2008, with Bob Barr, Ron Paul, and Cynthia McKinney. He revealed 4 points of common agreement.
Next week we're going to have a news conference with Cynthia McKinney, Bob Barr, and Ron Paul in Washington, D.C. We will have a preliminary manifesto where we agree on four categories....
- to reverse the militarization of foreign policy ...
- to hold the Federal Reserve accountable ...
- to repeal the Patriot Act ...
- to treat the massive deficit ...
We obviously see a convergence of people on both sides of the political spectrum on things like civil liberties and the militarization of foreign policy ...
The video of Nader's statement has been uploaded to Vimeo and should be available there soon, too.
