On Principles & Values: Goal is 5% of vote, to qualify Greens as a recognized party

Nader knows he's not moving into the White House, but he has a concrete goal: 5 percent of the vote so the Green Party will become a recognized third party and can reap millions in federal campaign matching funds in 2004. He defines victory as "getting tens of thousands of people into political activity and hundreds of candidates running. We become the third political party in America, with the fourth way behind." Nader says his chief aim is a "shift of power," which would help him achieve his agenda: universal health insurance, public financing of campaigns, and the shifting of tax dollars from "corporate welfare and a bloated military budget" to services for people.
