Ralph Nader's run for the presidency of the US has brought him some strange right-wing bedfellows such as Citizens for a Sound Economy and Rupert Murdoch. CSE has been working hard to place Nader on the presidential ballot in Oregon, and will do so too in Wisconsin and other states, according to press accounts describing them as "a conservative anti-tax group." Such a description is a little like saying Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are Christian ministers. We reveal much more about Citizens for a Sound Economy in our new book Banana Republicans: How the Right is Turning America into a One-Party State. The Center for Media and Democracy investigates and tracks the work of corporate front groups including CSE through our Disinfopedia website. There you can find out the latest information and you can help us keep tabs and report on CSE and other corporate fronts.
