Ralph Nader and Winona LaDuke at the Memorial Coliseum
Description:
On Aug. 25, Nader held a rally/fundraiser with Winona LaDuke (minimum donation of $7) at Memorial Coliseum in Portland; the event drew 10,571 people, his largest crowd to date in the campaign. Nader speaks about defense spending, global reform, how TB and malaria are the real global killers, not weapons of mass killing. Compares Bush and Gore and how similar they are when it comes to being pro business. How corporate power rules almost everything in America. He then transitions to talking about how Gore/Bush won't allow Americans to grow hemp. Then speaks at length about how vital and necessary hemp is, even saying Bush's father used hemp in WWII. He then talks about voting for None of the Above, where you can vote for the none of the above candidates and it would essentially eliminate them from the election if it had enough votes.
