Actually:

quote:

---

Memorial Chapel was filled to capacity Friday night as Ralph Nader and Patti Smith advocated an end to the war in Iraq and encouraged students to become more politically active. Their visit was the first of a series of events sponsored by WesPEACE to promote sustained opposition to the war in Iraq [...]

At the conclusion of his speech, Carl Mayer, Nader's campaign advisor, addressed the audience and in an auction-like fashion and began asking for donations to their campaign. He started the bidding at $1,000, which went down to $500 and then $250 when no one from the crowd responded.

---

The donations were to help pay the debt for his 2004 campaign.

The problem with Nader is he is just a critic. Critics made terrible leaders.
