I wouldn't vote for Nader, ever.

And the Greens haven't been any more effective on the environment than have the Democrats, so no, I don't support them either.

You know, it seems to me there are a number of people here who might be readers of The Nation? And maybe they have seen the "Open Letter to Barack Obama" put on their homepage in recent days?

You can read it in it's entirety here:

It has been signed publicly by many of the progressive "celebrities" of the left, and says, in part:

"We urge you, then, to listen to the voices of the people who can lift you to the presidency and beyond.

Since your historic victory in the primary, there have been troubling signs that you are moving away from the core commitments shared by many who have supported your campaign, toward a more cautious and centrist stance--including, most notably, your vote for the FISA legislation granting telecom companies immunity from prosecution for illegal wiretapping, which angered and dismayed so many of your supporters.

We recognize that compromise is necessary in any democracy. We understand that the pressures brought to bear on those seeking the highest office are intense. But retreating from the stands that have been the signature of your campaign will weaken the movement whose vigorous backing you need in order to win and then deliver the change you have promised."
