leftish ex-Nader supporters for Kerry

by list
Long list of liberal, progressive and leftist americans who supporter Nader last time but now support Kerry in swing states.
Nader 2000 Leaders United To Defeat Bush

We, the undersigned, were selected by Ralph Nader to be members of
his 113-person national "Nader 2000 Citizens Committee." This year,
we urge support for Kerry/Edwards in all swing states, even while we
strongly disagree with Kerry's policies on Iraq and other issues. For
people seeking progressive social change in the United States,
removing George W. Bush from office should be the top priority in the
2004 presidential election. Progressive votes for John Kerry in swing
states may prove decisive in attaining this vital goal. (For updated
