Subject: Tickets for Ralph Nader & "An Unreasonable Man" at Aimie's =
Dinner
and a Movie in Glens Falls
The Adirondack Progressives are hosting Ralph Nader in Glens Falls on =
Friday
May 25th and you are invited.
=20
At 1pm, we will premiere the excellent new documentary on Nader, "An
Unreasonable Man". It was shortlisted for an Academy Award and was also
chosen as a Sundance Selection. This critically-acclaimed film examines
Ralph's amazing legislative successes but it also tackles (head on and =
from
all sides) the anger that exists because of his "Quixotic" forays into
national politics. All politically active Americans should see this =
film. It
is quite likely that every single viewer will learn things they are not
currently aware of about national politics and our corrupt corporate =
media
(I know I did). After the film, Ralph will hold a Q & A session with the
crowd and one of the film's creators, Henriette Mantel.=20
=20
Tickets for the event are $75 each. They include lunch, the movie, =
Ralph's
newest book ("The Seventeen Traditions") and an opportunity to meet =
Ralph
Nader in person and ask him anything you like.
=20
Please call or email me as tickets for this event are already selling. I
expect the Aimie's event will sell out quickly. Below is the press =
release
we just sent out which explains all the events in greater detail.

Peace,
Matt

speak to students and participate in a student forum beginning at 1:00 =

The documentary film =13An Unreasonable Man,=14 a Sundance Film Festival
Official Selection, will premiere locally at Aimie's Dinner & Movie (190
Glen Street, Glens Falls). The film traces the life and career of Ralph
Nader, one of the most unique, important, and controversial political
figures of the past half century from his public emergence as nemesis of
General Motors in 1966, through his leadership of the Consumer Movement, =
to
his latest controversial forays into electoral politics. Following the =
first
showing, Nader and filmmaker Henriette Mantel will be on hand to discuss =
the
film and take questions from the audience. Tickets are on sale at Rock =
Hill
Cafe (19 Exchange St Glens Falls) and High Peaks Java (153 Maple Street,
Glens Falls) for $75 each. The price includes a copy of Nader=12s latest =
book,
The Seventeen Traditions.=20
At about 3:00 pm, Ralph Nader will sign copies of his latest book (The
Seventeen Traditions) at Red Fox Book Store (28 Ridge Street, Glens =
Falls).
The book looks back to the earliest days of Nader=12s own life to his =
serene
and enriching childhood in bucolic Winsted, Connecticut. From listening =
to
learning, from patriotism to argument, from work to simple enjoyment, =
Nader
revisits seventeen key traditions he absorbed from his parents, his
siblings, and the people in his community, and draws from them inspiring
lessons for today's society. Warmly human, rich with sensory memories =
and
lasting wisdom, it offers a kind of modern-day parable of how we grow =
from
children into responsible adults=17a reminder of a time when nature and
community were central to the way we all learned and lived.
=20
Ralph Nader is one of America's most effective social critics. He has =
run
for the office of US President twice, as the candidate of the Green =
Party in
2000 (America=12s third largest and fastest growing political party), =
and as
an Independent in 2004. For forty years his documented criticism of
government and industry has had a widespread effect on public awareness =
and
bureaucratic power and has inspired a whole population of consumer =
advocates
and citizen activists.
Nader first made headlines in 1965 with his book Unsafe at Any Speed, a
scathing indictment of the auto industry for producing unsafe vehicles =
that
led to congressional hearings and a series of automobile safety laws =
passed
in 1966. Since then Nader has been responsible for at least eight major
federal consumer protection laws such as the motor vehicle safety laws =
and
the Safe Drinking Water Act and the launching of federal regulatory =
agencies
such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA),
Environment Protection Agency (EPA), and Consumer Product Safety
Administration, and the Freedom of Information Act of 1974.=20
Nader also helped establish the PIRGs (Public Interest Research Groups) =
the
student-funded and controlled organizations that function on college
campuses in 23 states. Their impact alone has been tremendous. The =
groups
have published hundreds of ground-breaking reports and guides, lobbied =
for
laws in their state legislatures, and called the media's attention to
environmental and energy problems. The largest of the Nader =
organizations is
Public Citizen, founded in 1971 and with a current nationwide membership
over 100,000.=20
