Civil rights activist Peter Miguel Camejo, an advocate of third party politics, died early today at his home in Walnut Creek, according to Ralph Nader, who notified The Bee in an e-mailed tribute.
...Camejo was a third party candidate for state and national office. He was Nader's running mate in the 2004 presidential election, and attempted three gubernatorial runs in California for the Green Party. In 2002 he garnered 5.3 percent of the vote.

Thanks for commenting so nicely. Not all good people think as we do, but we can always learn something from them.

The obvious difference is that Che was a murderer.
Hope he really liked Marx ‘cause he’ll be spending alot of time with him.
As a final act as a Green Party member, he will be fertilizer. Perhaps his most productive and least offensive role to date.
This is the guy who bragged that he could never have gotten as far in politics as he did if his girlfriend hadn’t agreed to an illegal abortion in Mexico so that he could go to law school instead of supporting a family. He’s an icon of evil.
RIP. He lived long enough to see the CA Democrat party move to his left.
I always thought Groucho would have headed the other way.
Condolences to his loved ones.
He did actually help us by taking votes from the rats.
