RALPH NADER is America's leading consumer's and citizen's advocate,
a lawyer and an author who has co-founded numerous public interest
groups including Public Citizen, the Center for Auto Safety, Clean
Water Action Project, the Disability Rights Center, the Pension
Rights Center, Commercial Alert, the Public Interest Research Group
(PIRG), and the Center for Study of Responsive Law.
For the past forty-five years Ralph Nader has challenged abuses by
corporate and government officials and urged citizens to use their
time, energy and democratic rights to demand greater institutional
accountability. In 1965, Nader's landmark book Unsafe at Any Speed
changed the face of the automobile industry. The Atlantic named
Nader as one of the 100 most influential figures in American
history, and Time and LIFE magazines honored him as one of the most
influential Americans of the twentieth century. As a result of his
efforts, cars are safer, food is healthier and our environment is
less polluted and our democracy is more robust.
"Another triumphant look into the legendary prowess of Ralph Nader.
We can’t count on Washington, but we can always count on Ralph
Nader to speak for the rest of us.” —ROSEANN DEMORO, executive
director of National Nurses United "For a half century Ralph
Nader has said what he thinks, written what he believes, and told
it like it is—even to presidents. Too bad they don’t write back.
I’d love to know how they’d explain themselves to Ralph, and to the
American people." —ROBERT B. REICH, chancellor’s professor of
public policy, University of California at Berkeley, and former US
secretary of labor
"For the ordinary citizen the reading of a letter from Ralph Nader
is an option; for a president of the United States, it is
not." —Lewis Lapham, founder and editor of Lapham’s
Quarterly
"Ralph Nader is without a doubt the most dedicated, fearless, and
intelligent citizen crusader America has ever been fortunate enough
to have in our midst. Having spent my own time researching the
twentieth-century presidential archives for All the
Presidents’ Bankers, including the plethora of two-way letters
between the most elite and wealthy American bankers to presidents,
it is clear that Ralph’s insight and letters speak on behalf of the
vast majority of our nation’s citizens, and theirs do not. It is as
shameful of these presidents to ignore his well-reasoned,
fact-based, and population-centric letters and comments, as it is
heroic of Ralph to produce this compilation that holds their denial
and silence to account. Bravo, Ralph!" —Nomi Prins, author
of All the Presidents’ Bankers
