Burbank n (Attorney for Ralph Nader and Peter Miguel Camejo) DM = Dorothy Melanson (Chairwoman for Maine Democratic Party) •H HB: Good Morning, or Good Afternoon I should say. rH ? DM: Good afternoon. r«. <M «=y HB:Well after going through all this testimony, and the reading Fve done and the hearing of *T all me issues raised, I have but really one question. And that is why do you feel compelled to O bring this challenge against Mr. Nader and Mr. Camejo, who represent, in my judgment, the 2 views of not less than 4,000 signatories of petitions mat attempt to place him on the ballot in Maine? And in your own words can you explain to me what your motivations are? DM: We had heard from several people who fefo (hat they were somewhat tricked into signing these petitions. We also were alerted to problems in other states—many other states. As I'm sure you're aware... HB: No, I am not aware, but... DM: So we started looking into the petitions themselves; we started looking into the electors, and just to make sure everything was okay. This is a nationwide process mat many states are going through the exact same thing with the exact same problems. HB: When you say it's a nationwide process, is it being coordinated from any central location? DM: Urn...the Democratic Party. The national Party is certainly looking at it. There's also an organization called stopnader.com. HB: Okay. Are yon affiliate with stopnader.com? DM: I am not at all. HB: Are you affiliated with the Democratic Party? DM: I most certainly am. HB: In what capacity is that? DM: I am the Chair of the Maine Democratic Party. HB: The Chair of the Maine Democratic Party. Do you have any personal feeling or belief toward eitfarr candidate Nader or ffncfffrttg O»"g|> *h«* they personally are unqualified for the office of President and Vice President of the United States? T>M-1 «to"*t famw one riling afrnnt the VJM Pyea^gntjfll cmiflidatp Om*jn Ihavenoidea. In my personal opinion, Mr. Nader is not qualified for me. rH HB: Right HI rH DM: In my qualifications. ; O J^j HB: But is he unfit for office in anyway that would disqualify him personally or legally to *T *pply *ff fr« g gmfJJdqtg in Wiy a***? ^M* *^> frim^, ftmi*1, Harem, placed nm vnters tir persons? T 0 DM: There were some states—I don't have the documentation mfrcmt of me now---that 2 many many of his signatures were removed. HB: Tm talking about Mr. Nader personally now. DM: Personally? HB:Yes. DM: I think he's old enough and a citizen, and he meets all me qualifications in the Constitution. HB: You're not aware that he's ever committed any crimes... DM: I'm not aware. HB: That would disqualify him for running for office? DM: No. HB: You're not aware of any campaigns he's run to discredit people on a false basis or lend the air of fraud to the careers of other candidates for public office? DM: I'm not aware. HB: Or mistake or lack of qualification due to anything other than perhaps their public positions—such as policy decisions, election records, that kind of thing? You're not aware of Mr. Nader being disqualified for any reason tfi«t the public can scrutinize through die media, through libraries, through records of any kind, other than peihaps, you know, on a petition basis that you brought your petition on today? DM: There are many states that have the same questions. But other than that, I'm not aware of any fraud that Mr. Nader has committed. HB: Or any other basis he should be disqualified as a candidate for President of the United States? DM: No.
