Ralph Nader plans his own “Boston Marathon” on Saturday, October 25, in Massachusetts. He will make 26 campaign appearances (marathons are 26 miles long) in one day, from sunup until midnight, when he will end the day at the famous Alice’s Restaurant. The exact schedule hasn’t been set up yet.
I guess there are at least 26 street corners in Cambridge… Seriously though, I hope he comes to Fall River or New Bedford – it would be great to see him here.
Alice’s Restaurant is in Stockbridge, in western Mass., not far from the border with New York. My guess would be Nader starts in the Boston/Cambridge area and then heads west through Worcester and Springfield (maybe going through Amherst/Northampton on the way) to Pittsfield/Stockbridge/Lee/Great Barrington.
My name is Wayne, I am a Vietnam Veteran and civil libertarian. I am also a very dear friend (as is Ralph) of Professor Peter Kuznick at American University. It would be great to see Ralph again and, if he can spend a few minutes with us, I can assure him of a warm and receptive audience.
I manage national and international civil liberties programs with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee, headquartered in Cambridge at 689 Massachusetts Avenue.
On Saturday, October 25th, we are co-sponsoring a Walk for Literacy (in Afghanistan) and, I would like to invite Ralph to briefly join us. Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. in Sennott Park in Cambridge and the Walk for Literacy is being done by our program partner organization, BARAKAT For more information see –
