  how to put pressure on candidates

  I think Nader or anyone else should use the elections' floor to raise the environmental topic in the electoral agenda, and then withdraw from the race to not weaken the greener candidate.

  In France, we had Nicolas Hulot, a famous environmentalist and journalist, who used his popularity and credibility to make the candidates sign before the press a plaidoyer for the environment.

  We also had an umbrella-NGO called the "alliance for the planet" bringing our main environmental NGOs together, analysing in depth the environmental impact of the programmes, giving notes, and putting the results on a website for the public.
