Iowa City activists push for Nader role in debates

IOWA CITY -- Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader's supporters
rallied Tuesday in Iowa City to talk about issues they say won't be voiced
by Democrats and Republicans.
"The majority of you don't count to the Democratic and Republican parties,"
Jeff Carlson, a University of Iowa graduate student in English and member of
Students for Ralph Nader, told about 50 people who attended the rally.
The local rally was part of a nationwide movement to get Nader into two
remaining presidential debates between Republican George W. Bush and
Democrat Al Gore.=20
Speakers said Nader will spur talk on issues such as building more schools
and fewer prisons, ending assistance to large corporations, raising minimum
wage, and creating a universal health care policy.
"The Clinton/Gore party has had eight years to make headway on these
issues," Carlson said. "People are fed up with this and they want an
alternative."=20
Michael Rack, a member of the International Socialist Organization, said
Democrats and Republicans are right to be afraid of Nader, on the ballots of
43 states -- including Iowa -- and drawing crowds to political rallies.
"Nader has the potential to break the two-party rule," he said.
Dorothy Perot, a UI teaching assistant in French, said there are many
parties in her native country of France and each has the opportunity to
debate on the national level.
