  Peter Camejo accuses League of Women Voters of violating its own 'non-partisan' code if he is not invited to gubernatorial debates
  Originally released July 13, 2006
  SACRAMENTO -- The League of Women Voters would violate its own "non-partisan" code by excluding from statewide debates all candidates for governor other than Democrat Phil Angelides and Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, gubernatorial candidate Peter Miguel Camejo will allege at a major news conference here Friday.
  The Green Party candidate will release his letter to the LWV at the news conference FRIDAY, at 10 a.m. at the League's State Office (801 12th Street Suite #220).
  The LWV is expected to decide this weekend about how to determine who will participate in the debates.
  In the letter, Camejo notes he was excluded from the 2002 debates, even though an ABC poll showed 69 percent of those polled wanted him in the debates. In the 2003 Recall Election, Camejo was allowed in the debates, and a poll by the San Francisco Chronicle found Camejo the "winner" of those debates.
  "I respectfully request, in the interest of fairness, that the League conduct a poll asking voters not who they may vote for in November, but who they want to see in the debates. I believe you will find that there will be massive support for my candidacy," said Camejo in his letter to be released Friday.
  "I urge you to consider the contradiction that our electoral winner-take-all system has created, and ask that the League maintain that nonpartisanship when it conducts any poll regarding the debates. To do otherwise...the League would, although unintentionally, work against the voters' desires," he said.
  On Wednesday, the Camejo campaign filed a Fair Political Practices Commission complaint alleging a poll by San Jose State University was, in fact, a "clear promotion of two partisan candidates" and violated campaign laws because the poll discriminated against four other ballot-qualified candidates who were not included in the polling.
