Deceitful FEC Filings
by Tim Hagan 11 Mar '20

11 Mar '20

We have become aware of FEC Form 1, Statement of Organization, filings with the FEC in December and this month calling themselves "Libertarian National Committee", "Libertarian Party of United States", and "Libertarian Party National Committee". None of these are affiliated with nor authorized by the Libertarian National Committee. While at first I thought that incompetence was a slight possibility, fraud or election tampering is likely. In consultation with Ms. Edwards and Mr. Hall, we have filed Forms 99, Miscellaneous Document, with the FEC explaining the LNC is not affiliated with these organizations and requesting the FEC terminate the committees. We sent cease and desist letters to the persons listed in the Statements of Organization, and also notified the bank listed in the forms. If you hear of suspicious fundraising, or fundraising in the name of the LNC or Libertarian Party that does not go to a state affiliate, www.LP.org, www.libertarianconvention.org, 1444 Duke Street, or an LNC member or staff, please let me or Mr. Fishman know. Also note that the LNC will never ask for cryptocurrency be transferred to a wallet. All Bitcoin donations are processed through BitPay in accordance with FEC regulations. Here are links to the forms on the FEC website. First Form 99: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/711/202001039167015711/202001039167015711.pdf Second Form 99: http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/356/202001089167028356/202001089167028356.pdf "Libertarian National Committee" FEC ID #C00731554, Statement of Organization http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/506/201912189166370506/201912189166370506.pdf "Libertarian Party of the United States" FEC ID C00730556, Statement of Organization http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/514/201912109166173514/201912109166173514.pdf "Libertarian Party National Committee" FEC ID C00733535, Statement of Organization http://docquery.fec.gov/pdf/516/202001079167026516/202001079167026516.pdf -- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee

previous notice - the policy manual project
by Alicia Mattson 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

At the November LNC meeting, the LNC directed me and Ms. Harlos to bring back to the LNC at this meeting a list of the stylistic policy manual changes on which we can agree. Though the LNC did not direct Dr. Lark to participate in the task, I indicated at the time that I wanted his review also, and he was kind enough to provide feedback and catch a few more items. Would you like some good news? There are more than two hundred proposed changes that Ms. Harlos, Dr. Lark, and I can all support or at least tolerate. In the attached Word document, the first section is a listing of those with agreement to date. The numbers at the start of each line are references to the PageNumber/LineNumber in the other attachment. The other attachment is the copy of the policy manual to which Ms. Harlos had added line numbers for easy reference, and she used insert/strikeout formats to show her proposed changes. This is no longer the current policy manual, as we have made other changes in the interim, but using this version still allows us to all easily understand where the changes are being proposed. The second section in the attached Word document contains non-substantive items that are either my proposed alternative to Ms. Harlos’ proposal, or they are new items suggested by either myself or Dr. Lark. This is an incredibly tedious project. With the holidays and other items on both of our plates, Ms. Harlos is still reviewing this second category, and it may be that before the meeting that some of these will move to the first “agree” section. Since these are different/new from what you’ve seen before, I wanted to go ahead and provide previous notice for them. The third section are also new/alternate proposals from me, however they are not just editorial or stylistic in nature. They are too substantive to be hidden in a huge list of Oxford commas, capitalization, etc. The items marked in the PDF but not listed in the Word document are the things that do not have agreement. This division will hopefully allow us to handle a whole lot of changes in a single motion. I’d like to take up separate motions on the two items I marked as substantive. -Alicia

Policy Manual Amendment - Electronic Mail Ballots
by Tim Hagan 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

I request ten minutes on the agenda to amend the Electronic Mail Ballots section of the Policy Manual. Someone on a YouTube channel realized something was lacking in the Policy Manual. Won't say who she was, but it looked like both co-hosts had huge binders they were going through. Neither the Policy Manual nor the Bylaws give a time limit when the Secretary must post an electronic mail ballot. It's technically possible for a Secretary to pocket veto a ballot by never submitting it to the LNC list. This wording is, of course, open for wordsmithing. Amend Section 1.04, subsection 1) Electronic Mail Ballots, by appending the first sentence with: within three (3) days of the question being submitted by the chair or cosponsored by a sufficient number of LNC members. The sentence would then read: Notification of an electronic mail ballot shall be made by the Secretary by electronic mail within three (3) days of the question being submitted by the chair or cosponsored by a sufficient number of LNC members. -- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee
