TWO MURDERERS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT

Two Murderers Running for President

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Two men convicted of murder whose cases have because international political causes will be among the candidates on the ballot when Californians vote in the presidential primary next March, according to an official list released on Monday.
Vying for the small socialist Peace and Freedom Party's presidential nomination are Leonard Peltier, an American Indian activist serving two consecutive life terms for killing two FBI agents in 1975, and radio journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is serving a 1982 murder conviction for the slaying of a Philadelphia city police officer. He is on death row and has fought a long battle to overturn his conviction.

The ballot released by the California Secretary of State's office lists a total of 20 candidates, including President Bush and 10 Democratic candidates. The office said qualified parties were asked to present candidates seeking their party's nomination.

"There is nothing in California law that precludes these two gentlemen from being placed on the March ballot," said Terri Carbaugh, spokeswoman for the Secretary of State Kevin Shelley. "It may be an open-ended issue should one of them prevail on whether or not they can serve."
