>The purpose of this email to encourage you to visit the California League of
>Conservation Voters (CLCV) website  <http://www.greengov2010.org/>
>www.greengov2010.org and take a look at who is featured as "candidates." You
>will see that the site features the two Republican candidates and the
>undeclared Democratic "candidate" Jerry Brown. It does not include declared
>Green Party candidate Laura Wells. Please send a polite email (see example
>below) asking them to include Green Party Candidate for Governor Laura Wells
>along with the other featured gubernatorial candidates on their website.
>Emails can be sent to Warner Chabot, the Executive Director of CLCV at
><mailto:wchabot at ecovote.org> wchabot at ecovote.org.

>In 2000 CLCV refused to even talk to the Nader 2000 Campaign about why they
>were refusing to interview him for endorsement consideration. They have
>consistently ignored Green Party candidates over the years. Now this.
>
>
>
>The site has a section titled "Additional Candidates" that states:
>"GreenGov2010 will profile additional candidates as the election approaches,
>or as they become viable candidates for election (for example, if a
>candidate previously unprofiled on this site reaches 10% in a credible
>statewide poll)."
>
>
>
>How do they expect candidates to become viable if organizations like theirs
>don't tell the voters about them?
>
>
>
>Please send them an email. The following is an example of some of the points
>you may want to cover:

>Dear Mr. Chabot:

>I am writing to request that you include Green Party gubernatorial candidate
>Laura Wells ( <http://www.laurawells.org/> http://www.laurawells.org/) as a
>featured candidate on your GreenGov2010 website along with the other
>candidates already featured. GreenGov2010 states that it "will profile
>additional candidates...as they become viable candidates for election." I
>ask, how will they become viable candidates if good organizations like yours
>don't let voters know they exist?

>The Green Party is the largest single political party in the world and is
>qualified on the California Statewide ballot. Since 1990 the Green Party has
>fielded candidates in nearly 600 races in California and has won nearly 200
>seats. The Green Party is a viable political party, our candidates are
>viable.

>CLCV claims to be the "non-partisan political action arm of California's
>environmental movement." If CLCV is truly non-partisan then demonstrate that
>by including all of the declared candidates for governor that are running on
>ballot-qualified tickets. At the very least, include the candidate of the
>political party that has served as the electoral response to the global
>environmental crisis since 1972.

>I kindly request a response to this email,
