NADER NABS CALIFORNIA PEACE & FREEDOM PARTY NOMINATION
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2, 2008---Ralph Nader and his vice presidential running mate, Matt Gonzalez, today clinched the California Peace and Freedom Party (PFP) nomination, guaranteeing the Independent candidates a spot on the state's ballot in the November 2008 election. Nader and Gonzalez won the nomination on the first round at the PFP's nominating convention taking place in Sacramento, Calif.
Mr. Ralph Nader is at 6 percent in the latest CNN poll. Now, unlike in 2004, he is on the ballot in California where 10 percent of Americans live. There can no longer be any justification -- if there ever was -- for Ralph Nader not being included in every national poll.
Nader and Mr. Gonzalez are on a campaign swing through California today and Sunday, making several campaign stops. For more on the Nader/Gonzalez California tour, see: Nader and Gonzalez in California.
