The AP reports independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader “made a campaign stop at the Virginia Holocaust Museum” in Richmond om Saturday, where he “encouraged supporters to raise money and gather signatures to gain him a place on Virginia’s ballot in November.” The Richmond Times-Dispatch says “about 80 people” attended the rally.

Attention all Nader and Barr supporters! Note the article in the NY Times by Kate Zernike (linked below). A number of veterans groups called the Fort Hood Presidential Town Hall Consortium are organizing a town hall meeting and inviting the presidential candidates. McCain has accepted but so far Obama has not. According to the article, “CBS has agreed to broadcast the meeting live from 9 to 11 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, Aug. 11. The candidates would face questions directly from an audience of 6,000 people, made up of veterans, service members and military families from the base.†This would be a great event for Nader and Barr to participate in—irrespective of whether Obama participates. Below is the list of organizers along with their respective websites. I encourage you to contact all of them, in addition to CBS, and to encourage them to invite Nader and Barr to participate in the town hall meeting, too.
