Ralph Nader Proposes a New Congress Watch Initiative


Fortunately for all of us, Ralph Nader never gives up on developing innovative approaches to making the government more responsible to the American people.  His latest idea, developed  in his book Getting Steamed to Overcome Corporatism, is to develop a nation-wide network of volunteers willing to commit $100 a year and 100 hours of volunteer work dedicated to keeping pressure on their congressmen regarding ending corporate excesses and crime. (Of course, the military budget fuels many of the biggest examples of each.)

You can join the effort at several levels, not having to pay your money and donate your hours until:

 999 other Americans sign the same pledge (the pioneers) 9,999 other Americans sign the same pledge (the founders) 99,999 other Americans sign the same pledge (the drivers) 999,999 other Americans sign the same pledge (the critical massers)

I've signed up as a pioneer. You, too, can purchase Nader's book and sign the pledge, at the level of your choice, by clicking on:  http://csrl.org/

Please sign up and help this idea catch fire.
