#2 This is not a news flash, this charge has been on tuition bills in MA since 1988. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book.

#4 '88, Raj? I was paying that at UMass back in the mid '70's. It was for...the children.

#5 Some years (maybe twenty) back Forbes did a journalistic investigation into Nader's various organizations and ended up in a major legal battle in the process. The impression I got from the article was that it had been going on long before the investigation started.

#6 Ralph Nader's the Johnny Appleseed of the mindless legal hassle factories.

#7 This is no different then most teacher's union who, at least in Washington State require teachers to contribute to the Democratic Party even if they dont want to.

You will contribute or you will not teach in this state.

Another word for it is extortion.

#8 Nader came to my school back around '81 or so and gave his pitch that we needed to set up (and fund) a local student run branch organization like this. My impression at the time was that it was a way for his national org and possibly him personally to profit from the naivety of students who had youthful desires to do something good for the world. Sad to see that his little ego kingdom goes on.
