Ralph Nader
Ralph Nader (/ˈneɪdər/; born February 27, 1934) is an American political activist, as well as an author, lecturer, and attorney. Areas of particular concern to Nader include consumer protection, humanitarianism, environmentalism, and democratic government.
Nader came to prominence in 1965, with the publication of his book Unsafe at Any Speed, a critique of the safety record of American automobile manufacturers in general, and particularly the first-generation Chevrolet Corvair. In 1999, a New York University panel of journalists ranked Unsafe at Any Speed 38th among the top 100 pieces of journalism of the 20th century.
Nader is a five-time candidate for President of the United States, having run as a write-in candidate in the 1992 New Hampshire Democratic primary, as the Green Party nominee in 1996 and 2000, and as an independent candidate in 2004 and 2008.

Famous quotes by Ralph Nader:
"The function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers."
"A leader has the vision and conviction that a dream can be achieved. He inspires the power and energy to get it done."
"Your best teacher is your last mistake."
"There can be no daily democracy without daily citizenship."
"The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun."
"When strangers start acting like neighbors... communities are reinvigorated."
"Addiction should never be treated as a crime. It has to be treated as a health problem. We do not send alcoholics to jail in this country. Over 500,000 people are in our jails who are nonviolent drug users."
"Turn on to politics, or politics will turn on you."
"A society that has more justice is a society that needs less charity."
"This country has far more problems than it deserves and far more solutions than it applies."
"Like sex in Victorian England, the reality of Big Business today is our big dirty secret."
"The only difference between the Republican and Democratic parties is the velocities with which their knees hit the floor when corporations knock on their door. That's the only difference."
"No presidential candidate should visit Las Vegas without condemning organized gambling."
"I start with the premise that the function of leadership is to produce more leaders, not more followers."
