Ralph Nader, a former Green Party candidate for President, endorsed Ken Pentel's campaign for governor. Pentel is running as a member of the Ecology Democracy Party. He has run for governor in 1998, 2002 and 2006 as a member of the Green Party.
Here's a statement from Nader (released by Pentel's campaign):
"In a 2000 Business Week poll, over 70% of the people said corporations have too much control over their lives. This was before the corporate outrages, corporate militarism and Wall Street Collapse, recession and bailout of the past decade.
Ken Pentel gets this feeling by a large majority of Americans in an experienced and knowledgeable way. He is a long time Minnesotan, fighter for fairness, justice and wise and healthy use of natural resources - air, water, soil, energy.
Ken Pentel's present run for Governor is for you and your children. Watch him, listen to him, question him, invite him and see if you agree with me that on November 2 you have a real choice for a change.
As he bicycles across the entire state of Minnesota, chances are good that you'll have an opportunity to do these things in person."
