Lots of friends have been asking me lately why I'm voting Nader especially since he is not on officially on the ballot in Hawaii. Here are my reasons:
- Gore won the electoral votes in Hawaii in the last election by a large margin. Kerry should be a shoe-in in this election.
- Kerry and Bush both support the Patriot Act.
- Kerry and Bush both support DMCA laws.
- Neither the Democratic Party nor the Republican Party could be viewed as progressive parties.
- By protest voting for Nader I hope the Democratic will become more supportive of Nader issues.
I urge anyone in a blue state or a red state to vote for Nader. This is the only way we will get the progressive policies we want.
