Ralph Nader is an American political activist, author, lecturer, and attorney noted for his involvement in consumer protection, environmentalism, and government reform causes.
The son of Lebanese immigrants to the United States, Nader attended Princeton University and Harvard Law School. He first came to prominence in 1965 with the publication of the bestselling book Unsafe at Any Speed, a highly influential critique of the safety record of American automobile manufacturers. Following the publication of Unsafe at Any Speed, Nader led a group of volunteer law students—dubbed "Nader's Raiders"—in an investigation of the Federal Trade Commission, leading directly to that agency's overhaul and reform. In the 1970s, Nader leveraged his growing popularity to establish a number of advocacy and watchdog groups including the Public Interest Research Group, the Center for Auto Safety, and Public Citizen. Two of Nader's most notable targets were the Chevy Corvair and the Ford Pinto.
Nader's activism has been directly credited with the passage of several landmark pieces of American consumer protection legislation including the Clean Water Act, the Freedom of Information Act, the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the Whistleblower Protection Act, and the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.[citation needed] He has been repeatedly named to lists of the "100 Most Influential Americans", including those published by Life, Time, and The Atlantic. The New York Times described him as a "dissident".
Nader made four bids to become President of the United States, running with the Green Party in 1996 and 2000, the Reform Party in 2004, and as an independent in 2008. In each campaign, Nader said he sought to highlight under-reported issues and a perceived need for electoral reform. He received nearly 3 million votes during his 2000 candidacy, but also stirred controversy over allegations that his campaign helped Republican candidate George W. Bush win a close election against Democratic candidate Al Gore.
A two-time Nieman Fellow, Nader is the author or co-author of more than two dozen books and was the subject of a documentary film on his life and work, An Unreasonable Man, which debuted at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.

pastures green? Not
always; sometimes He who knoweth best,
in kindness leadeth me In many
ways where heavy shadows be. Out of
the sunshine warm and soft and bright... Out of
the sunshine into the darkest night, I oft
would faint with sorrow and affright, Only
for this...I know He holds my hand; so
whether in the green or desert land I trust
although I may not understand. And by
still waters? No, not
always so; Ofttimes the
heavy tempests round me blow, And
o'er my soul the waters and billows go. But
when the storms beat loudest and I cry aloud for
help, the Master standeth by And
whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." Above
the tempest wild I hear Him say, "Beyond
this darkness lies a perfect day. In
every path of thine I lead the way." So
whether on the hilltops high and fair I
dwell, or in the sunless valleys where The
shadows lie...what matters? He is there. And
more than this, where'er the pathway lead He
gives to me no helpless broken reed, But His
own hand, sufficient for my need. So
where He leads me, I can safely go, And in
the blest hereafter I shall know Why in
His wisdom, He hath led me so. Author
