Ralph Nader is one of America's most effective social critics. Named by The Atlantic as one of the 100 most influential figures in American history, and by Time and Life magazines as one of the hundred most influential Americans of the twentieth century, his documented criticism of government and industry has had widespread effect on public awareness and bureaucratic power. He is the "U.S.'s toughest customer" says Time magazine. His inspiration and example have galvanized a whole population of consumer advocates, citizen activists, and public interest lawyers who in turn have established their own organizations throughout the country.

GM Pollutes On Our Dime While Community Banks Die On The Vine Obama is playing corporate favorites with the TARP bailouts, shunning a community bank that has successfully served "red-line" districts but experienced the same default rates as the "too big to fail" banks after they destroyed our economy losing risky bets. GM, on the other hand kept it's pollution-lobbying arm after the US taxpayer assumed 61% of the company with Obama's toothless EPA keeping mum about cleaner cars.

Piercing the Technology Bubble This weekend, October 25 and 26, I will be joining leading critics, from the United States and abroad, of corporate-controlled technologies, who are also proponents of appropriate technologies for the people (Vandana Shiva, Anuradha Mittal, Helen Caldicott, Wes Jackson, Bill McKibben), convening at the historic Cooper Union Great Hall on "Techno-Utopianism and the Fate of the Earth".

Trump Trumpets His Real Plans Only if there is a superlative to the word "nightmare" can the dictionary provide a description of Trump's bizarre selection of men and women marinated either in corporatism or militarism, with strains of racism, class cruelty and ideological rigidity. Many of Mr. Trump's nominees lack an appreciation of the awesome responsibilities of public office.

Stopping War Pusher John Bolton, Trump's Choice for National "Insecurity" Adviser John Bolton's career of pushing for bombing countries like Iran and North Korea, and his having played an active role in the Bush/Cheney regime's criminal war of aggression that destroyed Iraq, makes him a clear and present danger to our country and world peace. He must be stopped!

Boston, Texas and Corporate Criminal Justice The Houston Chronicle reported last week that for years before the explosion that destroyed the West Fertilizer Co. facility, "neighbors had repeatedly called state authorities with complaints about leaks, the odor of ammonia and concerns about a nearby middle school and nursing home."

Going Fundamental Eludes Congressional Progressives Although politicians review and sign fundraising letters, rarely do they write them. That lucrative task is left to political consulting firms that also profitably consult for corporations. That's why the letters are so formulaic. Over the years I've urged incumbents & candidates for elected office to do more than ask people for money. Why not ask them for their time, their minds, and their dedication by having "time-raisers

The Republicans' Devious Tax Attack on the People How much are the American people going to take before they replace the reckless Republicans in the next election? Low and middle-income Americans are bracing for the likely passage of a Trump-supported tax bill that deviously redistributes even more of the people's income to the richest one percent (including a big tax cut for Trump) and the unpatriotic giant corporations.

If Big Labor Would But Fight, Millions Would Join Them on the Ramparts What is the AFL-CIO waiting for? Talk is not enough. Resources and muscular lobbying are required along with far more relevant and tough public advertisements than your members are seeing and paying for on TV these days. Enough, already, of the general feel-good mood spots on TV.

An Open Letter To Chairwoman Yellen From the Savers of America When it comes to the Fed, Congress is mired in hypocrisy. The anti-regulation, de-regulation crowd on Capitol Hill shuts its mouth when it comes to the most powerful regulators of all -- you and the Federal Reserve. Meanwhile, Congress goes along with the out-of-control, private government of the Fed -- unaccountable to the national legislature.

Barack to Mitt: Corporations Run the Economy You have declared that "Washington has become an impediment to economic growth." Why then don't you be specific, name and support an end to the vast array of corporate subsidies, handouts, bailouts and inflated government contracts, especially from the defense industry? Imagine what your friends on Wall Street and in Houston would think of you after that burst of candor.

Ginsburg Institute for Justice Needed for Our Depleted Democracy Historians will record her decisions, writings, and advocacy. Many people will celebrate her groundbreaking contributions to equal rights for women and other civil rights. Justice Ginsburg's fervent admirers, however, should look not only at past accomplishments but to creative ways to build on a great and enduring legacy.

Statement By Ralph Nader And Bruce Fein On The Senate's Impeachment Acquittal Of Donald J. Trrump Donald Trump has once again circumvented justice, but not because of a want of facts or law. His life preserver was House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to refrain from calling critical witnesses possessing "smoking gun" incriminating evidence at Mr. Trump's second impeachment trial.

Restricting People's Use of Their Courts Courts should not be places of case overloads and long delays. They should be welcoming temples of justice where judge and jurors engage in reasoned deliberation for the advancement of justice as part of a functioning democracy. The demands for justice are such in our country that courts should have more judges, more juries and more trials.

Recidivist Criminal and Constitutional Outlaw Trump Rushes to Pardon Criminal Lawbreaker Serial lawbreaker Donald J. Trump is embarking on the most sordid presidential pardon spree in American history. Trump corruptly doles out pardons to spite his list of archenemies and to reward his sycophants as many people are pleading with Trump for pardons.

Waiting for Obama, Democrats Will Lose the House Do the Democrats in Congress feel free to go it alone? Just the opposite. Before they open up new issues, new reforms and new fronts, they've decided to capitulate and wait for Obama to take the first visible step. Yet Obama, ever cautious and conflict-averse, does not make the first move.
