Three Noteworthy Columnists

I have read where it has been said that Ralph Nader shows up every four years to run for United States President, and then disappears until the next election. Whoever wrote that has no clue as to what he or she is talking about. Nader stays very active in trying to make a positive difference. If anybody would like to check out some of the articles that he writes, then click on http://www.nader.org/

Fidel Castro, former president of Cuba, is often written about in the news. He is often villified. But have you ever read what he actually has to say about what's going on in the world? I thought not. He writes his own articles, which can be found by clicking on http://www.granma.cu/ingles/2009/reflections-fidel-castro.html

The same can be said for Mumia Abu-Jamal, a black man who was convicted and sentenced to death for the 1981 murder of police officer Daniel Faulkner. Some say that he was framed. Whether you believe in his innocence or guilt, he is an intelligent man who expresses himself quite eloquently. From death row, he composes essays which can be listened to, and some can even be read in column form. They can be located at http://prisonradio.org/mumia.htm
