In his book "The Seventeen Traditions" Ralph Nader writes about his childhood in Connecticut and the influence of his Lebanese immigrant parents. He discusses how his life choices have been shaped by the values he inherited from his family and community, including "the tradition of discipline," "the tradition of independed thinking," and "the tradition of patriotism."

Ralph Nader ran for President of the United States on the Green Party ticket in 1996 and 2000 and as an independent in 2004. He is the author of several books, including "Unsafe at Any Speed," an indictment of the auto industry published in 1965. As a consumer advocate he has spoken out on a variety of issues, including health care, food safety, environmental pollution, worker rights, tax reform, civil rights, and corporate influence.
