TAMING THE GIANT CORPORATION:
A National Conference on Corporate Accountability
<www.tamethecorporation.org>

Presented by Ralph Nader and
The Center for Study of Responsive Law

June 8, 9 and 10, 2007

1530 P Street, NW
Washington, DC 20005

The central, pioneering task of "Taming the Giant Corporation" is to 
facilitate discussion, debate and strategic thinking about how to 
subordinate corporate power to the will and interests of the people. How 
do we replace the excessive corporate privileges and immunities 
entrenched in law and the economy?

Details on the conference (and on-line registration) are at:

The conference features an extraordinary line-up of people to drive the 
conversation. Speakers include Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative 
Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, Dr. Steffi Woolhandler (Co-Founder of 
Physicians for a National Health Program), Mark Green (the new President 
of Air America)), Thea Lee (Policy Director, AFL-CIO), Amy Goodman (Host 
of Democracy Now), Katherine Redford (Co-Founder of EarthRights 
International), Ilyse Hogue (Campaign Director, MoveOn.org Political 
Action) and Robert Greenstein (Executive Director, Center on Budget and 
Policy Priorities). There are lots of other great speakers and participants.

There is a $50 fee for attendance, but conference organizers aim to 
accommodate anyone for whom the fee is a barrier to attendance. To
