Last week southern California newspaper "Orange County Register" ran a story on the Golden State Party, a self-proclaimed "pro-white group pushing for political representation in California." The Golden State Party is a "Garden Grove-based group trying to gain status as a registered political party." But experts said its links to white supremacist groups and its leader’s felony record would make it difficult for them to qualify. The online version of the "OC Register’s" story included a survey asking readers if they liked the political views of the Golden State Party. Of readers who responded "400 said they would not join ranks of Golden State Party; 157 said they favored party’s views."
