Nader/Gonzalez Campaign to Protest Auto Industry Takeover of Safety Agency 05/06/08

The Nader/Gonzalez presidential campaign announced today that it will protest the auto industry's takeover of the federal auto safety agency that Ralph Nader was instrumental in creating in 1966.

The protest will take place in front of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Thursday May 8, 2008 at 12 noon. (1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, D.C., across from the Navy Yard Metro.)

Ralph Nader plans to attend the protest.

NHTSA is about to implement a weak auto industry approved roof crush safety rule that would preempt state action.

If the preemption rule takes effect, victims of roof crush accidents will not be able to seek justice in state courts under the 200-year old product liability common law.

A statement by Ralph Nader, Independent Candidate for President:

Once again, former President Jimmy Carter is to be commended for taking the initiative toward resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The announcement that he will meet next week in Damascus with Khaled Meshal, the leader of Hamas, is consonant with a March 1, 2008 poll by the leading Israeli newspaper - Haaretz - that found 64 percent of Israelis favor direct talks with Hamas. Only 28 percent were opposed. (Hamas was created years ago with the critical support of both the Israeli and U.S. governments as a counterweight to the Palestine Liberation Organization.)
