When they did something similar to Ralph Nader in 2000, Nader sued.
The settlement included an official apology to Nader and $50,000.

*Gubernatorial candidate spends Election Day Tuesday at
arraignment; Green Party's Laura Wells fights charges, chooses
Matt Gonzalez as her lawyer*
<br>
<br>
SAN RAFAEL, CA. – California gubernatorial candidate Laura Wells
of the Green Party will spend her election day Tuesday, Nov. 2
appearing for her arraignment here on misdemeanor trespassing
charges for the "crime" of attending a Governor's Debate Oct. 12
at Dominican University.
<br>
<br>
Wells will hold a news conference at 12:30 p.m. at the MARIN
COUNTY COURTHOUSE, Dept. N at 12:30 p.m. (3501 Civic Center
Drive). Her court appearance is at 1 p.m.
<br>
<br>
Wells has retained former San Francisco Supervisor Matt Gonzalez
as her attorney.
<br>
<br>
Wells (<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.laurawells.org">www.laurawells.org</a> <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="http://www.laurawells.org"><http://www.laurawells.org></a>) was
banned from the debate Oct. 12 because only the Democratic and
Republican nominees for Governor were allowed to debate. However,
when she attempted only to sit in the audience to watch, Wells was
hauled away, handcuffed and arrested.
<br>
<br>
In the last few days, nearly 1,000 people have signed a petition
asking the Marin County DA office dismiss all charges, and
investigate those responsible for her arrest. The petition states:
"Laura Wells, the Green candidate for Governor of California, was
arrested on Oct. 12, 2010 at the California Governor's Debate. Her
arrest is a violation of her civil rights. She had a ticket and
the right to attend the debate. We request that you dismiss the
criminal charge against Ms. Wells and launch an investigation into
why she was arrested."
<br>
<br>
Wells, who garnered more than 400,000 votes when she ran for
Controller in 2002 on the Green ticket, is a financial analyst who
talks about solutions – not politics – to California's budget
mess.
<br>
<br>
Among many other solutions to the state's woes, Wells wants to
"reform" Prop. 13 so it benefits individuals and small businesses,
as was promised, not large corporations. She is promoting the
concept of a "State Bank" that would partner with local banks and
make loans to residents, including students for college loans and
profit California, not private, Wall-Street bailed-out banks.
