I second the puzzlement...but having scant knowledge about the PFP I made a 
search and found this link   - see below - to an indymedia report 
(http://santacruz.indymedia.org/newswire/display/19165/index.php) . It seems 
like this 
(zionist?) guy, Akin, ran for congress in 2004 with an endorsement from 
Americans 
for Democratic Action so I don't know what sort of 'socialists' the article is 
refering to ...

Given Todd Chretien's announcement and the prospect of Camejo running for 
governor (with both candidates being revolutionary socilaists and both 
candidacies   - and seemingly the CA GP   - representing a strategic commitment 
to 
breaking with the Democrats), and given the seeming electoral opening in CA   I 
can't imagine why there is not a rallying around the CA Green Party (well, 
sadly 
I can imagine why but...)

Peace and Freedom Party taken over by control freaks

     â     13 Dec 2005 05:59:35 PM

Â
Control of California's Peace and Freedom Party has been seized by a small 
group of self styled "socialists" from the Bay Area and Los Angeles basin.
For those of us who have had hopes that the Peace and Freedom Party of 
California might once again emerge as a voice for electoral activity from 
Movement 
activists, there is some very bad news. The State Central Committee of the 
Party under Chairman Kevin Akin (a pro Israeli, anti Palestinian 
appartichik)from 
Riverside County is pushing to ram thru pre-Primary endorsements of "offical" 
statewide candidates. If you believe that the voters and registrants in a 
party should pick the candidates in a primary process and that the official 
party 
apparatus should be run from the bottom up, not from the top down then please 
email Akin and tell him you are opposed to official pre-Primary endorsements. 
Akin can be reached at Please also cc: so Akin can't coverup the responses. 
All power to the people
