My letter to Ralph Nader ..Sincerely written
Candidate Nader,
I want to appeal to you in a way that maybe others have not. I know what you mean about big business and big corporations. I always thought you were the greatest hero in the 70's. Candidate Nader, I feel that you will become the victorious champion if on Friday, you endorsed Senator Kerry.
Don't get me wrong, I think there is enough corruption to go around in both parties, however, you see I would like you to become the hero to bring America together and then start your own party with much much more love and respect that you have earned over the past years. I don't think this year is the right year to be a protest candidate. I don't.

My husband is a 100 percent disabled VN Veteran who served with the 101st Airborne in 71. We have adopted our three grandchildren after a lost job sent my son into mental depression and two of the children are handicapped. My father is legally blind and we share many of your ideas. But reality is, you cannot win and if this person Bush goes back into office, we will more than likely not have another chance to retrieve our children or america or safety or kick out big business from running the country.

My husband fought for no other reason to give me the right to freedom of dissent and freedom of expression. No, I don't agree with everything that either party stands for but as you. agree with some. Candidate Nader, America and our boys overseas life may just be in your hands. Please do the right thing and be The left, the Democratic surprise and then lets hold people's feet to the fire and with your help get this country on the right track. I am appealing to your common decency for my children, my husband who gave his life (emotionally) for your rights. But Candidate Nader, your rights end when they cross where mine begin.

Please be our hero and step aside now. You have worked too hard as an advocate to go down in history as the man who helped George W. Bush become the president who killed America. There are enough left leaning people to hold Kerry's feet to the fire and give you breathing room to start up another party in America. This is the wrong time, you are the wrong man to help bring down America.
I appeal to your common sense. History will not value what you are trying to achieve.

thank you
Amanda L. Kato

5. My letter to Nader - sincerely written
Candidate Nader,

You are responsible for 1100 dead US troops, 100,000 dead Iraqis, and maybe 3000 dead Americans on 9/11.

Burn in hell, asshole.

7. No matter how strongly you feel, we are dealing with someone
Edited on Thu Oct-28-04 09:08 PM by vetwife
who is out of touch and I had to make the appeal using the reality factor. i do understand your sentiments though. If this is an ego trip then one has to appeal to one's ego. That is what I tried to do. Not that I am anyone that special. I just want to know on Nov 2nd I did everything from putting out CD's , phone banking, talk shows, congress contacts, television , blogging and appealing to Ralph Nader. I had to. then I know I have done everything I knew to do.
