Conflict Within The Green Party
In the run-up to the June 6, 2006, primary elections in his home state, Camejo helped create Green IDEA (later known as IDEA PAC), a California political action committee espousing "Independence, Democracy, Empowerment, and Accountability," to support candidates for county councils, the locally elected leadership bodies of the Green Party of California. The IDEA PAC was not raising or spending money as of 2010.
Arguing that outside intervention in local elections might be construed a contravention of the Green Ten Key Values of Decentralization and Grassroots Democracy, Peter Daniels criticized Camejo for "lend his support to the right-wing effort to depose Davis" by recall in 2004. However, the Green Party state convention easily voted to endorse Camejo as a recall replacement candidate.
