Nader Press Conference on Corp. Responsibility, 2002.

Press Conference on Corporate Reform


	July 5, 2002. Some seven months after the Enron scandal broke, Nader and other activist leaders held a press conference to point out that "there has been little real action by President Bush and Congress" in addressing corporate reform. "The political system is way behind what the media is uncovering and reporting, and that illustrates the extent to which the corporations have taken over our government and turned it into a corporate government, of big business, by big business, for big business," Nader said. "It's time for the action call, the action call--fundamental corporate reform--to ring again and again throughout the land until it occurs." Nader set out four main requirements for corporate reform and repeated an earlier call for creation of a national association of individual investors.
