Fred Karger - who, the San Francisco Chronicle points out [1], is the only Californian to be a Republican presidential candidate - has apparently been refused the chance to participate in�and address the state GOP convention in Los Angeles in September.
"I have been waiting for my invitation, and it never came," Karger told The Chronicle.� "And I called up a couple of weeks ago and explained my position."
That's when a party official, Karger said, left a "terse" message: "The schedule is completely filled."
Karger is openly gay.
Michele Bachman and Ron Paul are both confirmed; former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a part-time California resident, is not planning to attend.
Karger recently pulled 2 percent in a Harris Interactive poll - outpolling Rick Santorum.
