Ralph Nader is a phony

Why would Ralph Nader not reveal where his campaign headquarters is? Perhaps because Citizen Works [a Nader 501(c)(3) and the Nader campaign are both operating out of 1400 16th Street in Washington DC.
Of course, nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organizations, even those founded by Ralph Nader to advance justice by strengthening citizen participation in power, aren't supposed to share equipment, expenses or personnel with political campaigns. That's prohibited by federal law. We probably shouldn't hold our collective breath waiting for the Bush Administration's tax authorities to look into this matter, but it sure seems like Nader's presidential campaign may not only be reckless and selfish, but corrupting, too.
