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

APRC
by Whitney Bilyeu 02 Mar '20

02 Mar '20

There is a vacancy on the APRC at this time. Is there anyone currently on the LNC who would be interested? APRC members must be willing and able to communicate via email regularly and efficiently. Checking multiple times per day for APRC items in your email inbox, reviewing them, and responding in a timely manner is a MUST. All publications put out by the LP go through APRC review, so members must be able to make reviewing them a priority. All APRC members must also be LNC members/alternates. If you are interested, make it known here. The LNC will need to vote on the appointment. Thanks! -- *Whitney Bilyeu* Libertarian National Committee Region 7 Representative 281.433.4966 LP.ORG

It has been an honor
by brent.olsen＠lp.org 23 Feb '20

23 Feb '20

To all of my friends and colleagues on the Libertarian National Committee, I wanted to say what an honor it has been to work with all of you fine people on the LNC. My term has come to an end. The Libertarian Party of California elected Mr. Tim Ferreira as the new Region 4 Alternate to the LNC during our convention last weekend. I did not run for re-election as I believe that my set of skills is better used in building local county organizations (especially focusing on continuing the growth of my own local county affiliate in Kings County, California) and serving to support candidates. I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you all in Austin! As a side note, I believe that I no longer qualify to serve on the APRC, so you will likely need to find a replacement urgently. If I am incorrect on that interpretation I am happy to continue serving on that committee until we meet together again in Austin for a new APRC to be chosen. In Liberty, K. Brent Olsen, Psy.D. (Former Region 4 Alternate, Libertarian National Committee) Vice Chair, Libertarian Party of California Secretary, Libertarian Party of Kings County
