In campaign news, more than 70 members of Ralph Nader’s leading supporters from 2000 have signed an open letter * calling on voters in swing states to support John Kerry and not Nader*. Signatories include Noam Chomsky, Phil Donahue, Barbara Ehrenreich, Manning Marable, Cornel West and Howard Zinn. In the letter, the group wrote “For people seeking progressive social change in the United States, removing George W. Bush from office should be the top priority in the 2004 presidential election. Progressive votes for John Kerry in swing states may prove decisive in attaining this vital goal.”
