[Sosfbay-discuss] Fwd: Nader Movie

[Andrea Dorey]

We're fools if we don't support this.

If we gang up on Nader and show that we progressives are divided so  
badly, the bad guys need never fear us.  We'll never do anything  
important or at the national level because we can't do teamwork.

This is our chance to show a united front.  Remember "divided we  
fall"?  An old truth.
