We are preparing a challenge to the Ralph Nader convention petition. If you have any information regarding the date, time or location of Nader signature gathering efforts to allow him onto the Washington State ballot please email me at the address below with any information you have ASAP. Paul Berendt Washington State Democratic Party Chairman paul@wa-democrats.org Paul, Instead of plotting how to derail Nader you and all of the other right-wing Democrats should be asking yourselves why he remains a viable alternative for some voters. Could it be because there is so little difference between your presidential candidate and George Bush? As Arundhati Roy pointed out when she spoke in Seattle recently, stem cell research is the only issue where there is a clear difference of opinion between the two. Frankly, I don't know if I will be voting for Nader or Kerry right now, and I may not make up my mind until I am in the voting booth. Betray my friends who are out gathering signatures for the only remaining candidate with whom I agree on all of the substantive issues? HELL NO! Peggy Hotes
