Ralph Nader is one of America's most passionate & effective social critics. He's been called a muckraker, a consumer crusader & America's public defender.

His inspiration & example have rallied consumer advocates, citizen activists, public interest lawyers & government officials into action. In the 2000 election, nearly 3,000,000 voted for him.
