Things that sadden me. #2

I found out today that Peter Camejo died on September 13. A great man died and sadder than his death is that very few people got to know who he was. Peter Camejo was a great American who dedicated his life to inform other Americans about their rights and the rights of others. I had the pleasure of meeting Peter Camejo on two occasions. The first time I met him was at a Green party even when he was running for Governor of California. He was a very intelligent, funny and charismatic man. The second time I ran into him was in 2002 at an anti-war protest in San Francisco. If you ever got a chance to hear any of his speeches you could tell right away that he was a selfless man who cared dearly about the well being of the world. He was a very eloquent politician, loved by the left and feared by the right. Ronald Reagan deemed him a very dangerous person because of his participation in the anti-Vietnam war protests. He also marched with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Alabama. America has lost a great person and he will be missed.
