It's the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

Stand up, stand up.

You've been sitting way too long.

Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Scrovan.

David Feldman is on assignment this week with that secret of truth and justice

Triumph, the insult comic dog they're in DC covering the impeachment trial I guess we'll expect a full report when he gets back but we do have the man of the hour Ralph Nader hello Ralph hello Steve hello Steve hello everybody we're We do something Hello, Ralph.

Hello, Steve, hello everybody.

We're gonna do something a little bit different here.

We're gonna actually, before we set all the topics on the table,

we're gonna start with a listener question we got. This came through our inbox from Chris W Ralph and he says,

Ralph first thank you for your lifetime of public service. I was heartened to hear comments you made on the Ralph Nader Radio

Hour to the effect that still to this day you are actively meeting congressional representatives

on Capitol Hill. What I'd like to know is, who are your peers in the public arena? What other public organizations and consumer advocates are also working diligently for the public? What are the organizations, what are the organizations and

and people and people that the public at large can support.

Organizations and people that we don't hear about, don't know about,

whose cause would benefit from more public spotlight.

Currently the public is outnumbered and

outspent by corporate lobbyists, but this is not necessarily an immutable state of

our society. The term lobbyists is an innately negative connotation in our

society, but that too could be turned around if more people

rallied for and used the term public lobbyist or lobbyist for the public, which is something we need.

So what do you say to that, Ralph?
