Nader wants renegade filmmaker Michael Moore to end his dalliance
with the Democratic Party and return to his anti-establishment
roots.
The independent presidential candidate
sent an open letter to Moore on Friday pleading with him to support
Nader's third-party candidacy, as Moore did in 2000.
"OK, Michael, you've had your realpolitik
fling with ex-General Wesley Clark," Nader writes. "Your
endorsed presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries has
withdrawn. It is time for you to come home, to join your buddies
and resume your only genuine role, which is that of defiance and
resistance."
Nader spokesman Kevin Zeese said Moore
has seen the letter but has not responded. Moore could not be
reached for comment Friday.
Moore is the director of, among other
things, the pseudo-documentary "Bowling For Columbine,"
which enraged many gun owners in the US because of the film's
bias against guns and gun ownership.
