SAN FRANCISCO - Four Muslim-American groups said they will endorse Green Party gubernatorial candidate Peter Camejo, calling him the only candidate who has offered a civil rights platform that guarantees liberties in post-Sept. 11 California.

"He clearly and constantly has been for civil rights," Agha Saeed, national chairman of the American Muslim Alliance, told the Contra Costa Times.

"* Mr. Peter Camejo, Green Party Candidate for CA Governor addresses AMA Forum
NEWARK: Mr. Peter Camejo, Green Party Candidate for CA Governor was the main speaker at the monthly educational forum of the AMA Bay Area. Mr Camejo, who marched in Salem Alabama with Martin Luther King,  expressed his willingness to make the civil rights of Muslims and Arabs, a Green Party campaign issue. He said: we are opposed to racial profiling, it will create a problem. On the Patriot Act, Mr. Camejo said that the constitution should be respected and the Patriot Act destroys constitutional guarantees.  He agreed to take a public stand on the issue of civil rights and oppose curtailment of right of Muslim Americans. The AMA plans to hold serious and substantial negotiations with the Green Party."
