From the K-P-F-K Studios in Southern California,

it's the Ralph Nader Radio Hour.

Stand up, stand up.

You've been sitting ready to song. Welcome to the Ralph Nader Radio Hour. My name is Steve Scrove and along with the man of the hour, Ralph Nader. Hello Ralph, how are you doing today?

Very good. We have a great program coming up with the Green Party candidate for president.

That's correct and if recent activity on our Facebook page is any indication

this is a very anticipated show in what we hope will be a series of any views with

presidential candidates before election day. We have sent invitations all of the

presidential candidates who have made it on enough state ballots to have a

mathematical chance to win the presidency that includes

of course Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump and Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

But first to accept our offer to engage with Ralph is Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.

Dr Stein is a physician who graduated from Harvard Medical School and practiced internal medicine for 25 years in Massachusetts.

In the 1990s, Dr Stein became increasingly

concerned about the links between illness and environmental toxins,

especially exposures to lead and mercury and dioxin contamination that comes from the burning of waste.

She helped lead the fight to clean up coal plants in Massachusetts, then known as the Filthy V.

This ended up setting an example for how other states could raise the standards for their own coal plants.

Her first foray into electropolitics was in 2002 when she was recruited by Green Rainbow Party activist to run for governor of Massachusetts

against Mitt Romney.

She is the co-author of two widely praised reports in harm's way, toxic threats to child development, and environmental threats to healthy

aging.
