Ralph Nader Comments on the Passing of Peter Camejo, a Sentinel Force for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, and Expander of Democracy
Peter Miguel Camejo, a civil rights leader, socially responsible investment pioneer, and magnanimo caballero for third party politics in the US, peacefully passed away early Saturday morning at his home in Folsom, CA with his wife Morella at his side -- only days after completing his autobiography.
The 68-year-old justice fighter had been battling a reoccurrence of lymphoma cancer, and his condition had rapidly deteriorated over the past few days.

It seemed to me this was more a news item than politics, since it is a commemoration of a person's life--and Peter Camejo did a lot in his life. He first came to my attention as an activist opposing the US war on the Vietnamese people. Peter was very visible and influential in building the mass national protests that marked domestic opposition to American imperialism.
Peter Camejo did not waste his life. Farewell, companero.
