Hi dear Ralph Nader,

And my wishes for a very happy, healthy birth day.

May every day be a happy, healthy new birth day.

Around the time the right wing fascist coup began , 1988, 1991

And I was approached in street by someone in Green Party

And that there were meetings in people’s apartments;

Which I joined .

Julia Wilibrand - I don’t think she is alive today , but she iniated many to join and participated.

You ran as a public citizen—- and two times after that

When coup began criminal harassments, criminal voyeurs my life

Which I did not understand.

I remember Louis Lapham and his confrontation of Christian Coalitions and his actions for more than a two party system .

He endorsed you highly .

I have some of the letters I wrote to you;

And similar to present day

The confusions of political systems .

As my communications daily since 9/11/91 , and going through

Shredding what is not about “me”

These crimes against people did not just begin October 7, 2003

Or January 1, 2025

I am grateful for your amazing teachings ; you were my first teacher .

I had no memory or understanding of past history.

Happy birthday dear Ralph Nader .

I have some of the books you wrote,

And one Kevin Graham wrote (1959), “Raloh Nader , Battling for Democracy “.

We shall overcome !

Happy birthday, Mr. Nader. You’ve been one of my heroes now going on 60 years. Neither one of us are gonna make another 60 years but your example and legacy will live forever in my opinion.

I refer to Ralph as one of our living saints. I admire his lifetime body of work and aspire to contribute a tiny fraction as much to my small circle of influence.

Dear Ralph, congratulations on a life well-lived in service to our country, and as role a model to more people than you know. I would vote for you again in a heartbeat, should you decide to run again. I admire you so much, and include you in my trio of "greats" along with Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky. Hope you don't mind.
