A short reminder regarding decorum
by Nicholas Sarwark 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Dear All, I expect that members of the Libertarian National Committee will disagree with each other with respect. I expect that after the Libertarian National Committee comes to a decision on an issue, be it the purchase of an office or the choice to make a goal a certain number of candidates running for public office, that every member of the committee will either support the goal or at least stop trying to publicly fight against it after they've lost. I expect that every member of the Libertarian National Committee will be polite and respectful to the rest of the members and to the national office staff. If anyone is unwilling or unable to meet these expectations, I will happily accept your resignation from the Libertarian National Committee and wish you the best of luck in whatever future endeavors you choose. Yours in liberty, Nicholas J. Sarwark Chair, Libertarian National Committee

Analysis of Cyber Risk Exposure for U.S. and European Political Parties
by Steven Nekhaila 30 May '19

30 May '19

Dear All, The following is a link to a recent report conducted by the SecurityScoreCard research foundation. The organization conducted a study to determine Cyber Security rankings for political parties in both the United States and Europe. There findings show that the Libertarian Party ranks last in US Cyber Security behind the Green Party, Republican Party, and Democratic Party. I understand that increasing our Cyber Security Awareness and Fortitude has been a priority for both the LNC and Staff, and we need to continue to increase our standards and take threats seriously. I do not believe the threat of both Private and Nation-State hackers is understated, often action comes to late in the form of reaction. I have lived through this in the food service industry and security threats are just now being taken extremely seriously within the past few years. Perhaps this report can be of some help to others who are more technically inclined, as well as to the board to understand our position as dead last is unacceptable and something must be done to improve and remain accountable for the safety of our organization and its members. The link to the report can be found here: https://s3.amazonaws.com/ssc-corporate-website-production/documents/analysi… A Press Release summary can be found here: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/securityscorecard-reveals-u-european-politic… "Political elections are a top target for nation states as well as possibly organized crime and political activists looking to influence outcomes for geopolitical gains. From influencer campaigns to exfiltrating data to sell on the Dark Web or to other countries, the end game is clear - sabotage and financial gain," said Jason Cassey, CTO of SecurityScorecard. "Through the SecurityScorecard platform, we were able to gain meaningful insight into the overall cyber hygiene, behavior and incidents of political parties to provide insight into the real dangers associated with upcoming EU and U.S. elections." Key Findings: France ranked lowest in total aggregate scores, as well as in Application Security and DNS Health. Sweden tops the charts in total aggregate scores, as well as in Application Security, DNS Health and Patching Cadence. Poland ranked lowest in Network Security. Spain ranked lowest in Patching Cadence. DNC security scores lag behind the RNC in almost all categories. Libertarian Party ranked lowest in total aggregate scores, as well as Application Security, DNS Health. DNC ranked lowest in Network Security. RNC ranked lowest in Patching Cadence. In Liberty, Steven Nekhaila Region 2 Representative Libertarian National Committee Impotentes defendere libertatum non possunt "Those without power cannot defend freedom"

There seems to be plenty written about what the LP and it's leadership think that doesn't seem to take the time to actually ask. I've sent the following questions to many people running for POTUS, as well as the LNC and people of note within the LP framework. 1. Leaving aside the issue of a potential candidacy, what effect do you believe a sitting congressmen switching to the LP would have on the party as a whole? 2. If he waits to switch parties until after he's lost a reelection bid as a member of the GOP, how would that affect how he's perceived by party members? 3. What are the most admirable parts of Amash, and what's the most important bits he'd bring to the table? 4. What are the largest negatives in terms of either deviancy from party orthodoxy or personal quirks or history that would come with him trying to run for the LP POTUS nomination? 5. Why are you a better candidate than him? (If you're not a candidate, do you have a preference for one running, and what's the best case for them?) 6. Do you currently have a public preference for any of the Democrat POTUS candidates in that primary, and if so, what's the best case for them? 7. What are your thoughts on Weld's primary challenge to Trump? 8. Would you support Amash, if he became the LP nominee? (If you're not a candidate, would you support him for the nomination?) 9. Regardless of your personal stance on the issue, would you support an LP candidate who was pro-life? 10. Have you read the Mueller report? 11. Do you think that President Trump should be impeached, and if so under what grounds? *Email Confirmation* - I want to receive email communication from the Libertarian Party. -- * In Liberty,* *Libertarian Party and Libertarian National Committee Secretary *- Caryn.Ann.

LNC v. FEC - decision and next steps
by Nicholas Sarwark 29 May '19

29 May '19

Dear All, We got an opinion in our case against the FEC today. The bad news is that the panel ruled against us. The good news is that the ruling was along party lines, presenting a good case for an appeal to the Supreme Court (where the split of judges is opposite from the D.C. Circuit). A petition for certiorari at the Supreme Court would cost us between $5-10K for printing and filing costs. Our counsel believes it is likely we could get some good amici on the petition for certiorari and would like to file a petition for certiorari. I would like to instruct our counsel to proceed with a petition for certiorari and believe this would be allowable under the policy manual since this is the continuation of litigation that has already been approved by the LNC, but I wanted to email the list to see if anyone had any questions or objections before we proceed. Judgment and opinion attached. Yours truly, Nick
