Ralph Nader denounces major U.S. political parties
Advertisements [?]
Independent candidate Ralph Nader, speaking over hecklers' voices, denounced the major political parties and assured a Monday crowd that a vote for him was not a wasted vote.

"The only vote you ever waste is a vote for someone you don't believe in," said Nader, who spoke a block from Wall Street, across from the New York Stock Exchange. The consumer advocate used the location to highlight what he called the excessive influence of corporations over both major political parties.

Nader is on the ballot in 34 states and the District of Columbia; he is a write-in candidate in Texas.

Nader had to speak over hecklers who shouted "Nader is a traitor" and other criticisms. One sign read, Vanity, Thy Name Is Nader.
