Nader actually has been a Cisco stockholder since 1995. Also, I would say back in 2000 or 2001, Cisco wasn't the giant that it is today. Nortel and other companies were heavily involved in the technology industry as well. Unfortunately for Nortel, their main technology (legacy phone systems) has all but died out and VoIP is rapidly replacing it.

Ralph Nader wants Cisco to up dividend. He's right. The Buzz - Jun. 24, 2011

Looks like he called Cisco out on paying out shareholders.

I suppose you vote for nobody right? They are all hypocritical and usually don't do what they say.
