Presidential candidate Ralph Nader is campaigning this week in two metro areas along the western Minnesota border.
The White House long shot will be in Sioux Falls on Saturday at 2 p.m. for a press conference and book signing at the downtown Holiday Inn.
Later Saturday, he heads north to Fargo, N.D., for a rally that night at the Century Theater in the North Dakota State University Memorial Union. The event starts at 7:30 p.m., and contributions of $10 ($5 for students) are suggested.
The campaign said Nader will speak at both stops about "the economic giveaway, single-payer health care, the Iraq war, the environment and the state of the presidential debates, from which he was excluded."
Nader's independent campaign expects to be on the ballot in 45 states, including the Dakotas and Minnesota.
As a presidential candidate in 2004, Nader received 1.2 percent of the vote in North Dakota, 1.2 percent in South Dakota and 0.66 percent in Minnesota.
