ACLU California Action asked ten California gubernatorial candidates to respond to a survey, and then publicized the results. But the group did not ask all California ballot-qualified candidates to participate. It only asked the eight Democrats and two Republicans who have been touted by the media as the leading candidates.

Among those who were asked to participate is Tony Thurmond, who has not been above 1% in any recent poll. Butch Ware, the Green Party candidate, when last included in a neutral poll, was at 2%. But the ACLU did not seek his answers to their questionaire. See the questionaire results here.
