Ralph Nader Visits Syracuse

Presidential candidate Ralph Nader spoke to a crowd of about 200 people Friday afternoon at the Westcott Theater, a couple of blocks away from Syracuse University's main campus.

Nader endorsed the Green Populist party candidate Howie Hawkins, who is running for Congress in New York's 25th district against Democrat Dan Maffei and Republican Dale Sweetland.

Nader railed against the modern election system, and expressed his anger towards the mass media for not covering his campaign. "We have a mass media that is lazy or completely corporatized and politically bigoted," Nader said.

His campaign team managed to raise roughly $4,000 in an auction-like fundraising event that was held immediately after his speech.

  1. Sad to see a man who did so much good years ago end his career on the sustained low note that Ralph Nadar is.
