In the News (Tue 21 May 13)

  
  Peter Camejo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Miguel Camejo (born December 31, 1939) is a financier, businessman, political activist, author, and one of the founders of the socially responsible investment movement.
Camejo supporters perceived the "safe-states" strategy of avoiding campaign activity in swing states as playing favorites within the two-party system by avoiding competition detrimental to the Democratic Party nominee, while Cobbites preferred to cast their efforts in terms of conserving party resources for local and state races.
Critics from Camejo's former socialist circles, as could be expected, are disdainful of Camejo's abandonment of the doctrinaire socialism of his youth, accusing him of abandoning a substantive critique of capitalism and its connection to war, inequality and attacks on democracy.

 Wilshire Gazette - Governor's Debate (Gray Davis, Bill Simon, Peter Camejo)
LOS ANGELES -- October 7, 2002 -- Peter Miguel Camejo, Green candidate in the California gubernatorial race, was refused entry to the televised LA Times debate Monday between two other contenders for the Governor's seat.
The campaign for Republican candidate Bill Simon Jr., in an obvious strategy aiming to divide left-wing voters, had attempted to involve Camejo as a debate participant; when Davis saw he would be criticized from both right and left flanks, he threatened to "boycott;" Simon backed down and invited Camejo simply as a personal guest.
The crowd and cameras surged forward as if to give Camejo one final push into the political arena but the wave crashed at last against a wall of LA Times staff and police who officially uninvited him and commanded the crowd to retreat.
