Lawsuit against Texas Governor's Orders
by Tim Hagan 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

In the article below: Dr. Stephen Hotze of Harris County and other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against Greg Abbott in his official capacity as Governor in Travis County District Court (a state court) seeking temporary and permanent injunctions against the lockdown orders of the governor. The case number in the Travis County District Court's system is D-1-GN-20-002146. They are still looking for more qualified plaintiffs who have been harmed by the governor's orders. The lead attorney is former Harris County GOP Chair, Jared Woodfill. https://www.texasfreepress.com/post/texas-resistance-to-lockdown https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1jtHef-NVRCVKWCyM6O6GavcOS1f4dI_YhI7IqeGjD8… Would we want Mr. Hall to look into adding the LNC to the list of plaintiffs harmed by Texas's lockdown orders? I'm leaning against joining, but felt the lawsuit needed to be brought to the LNC's attention. -- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee

State Travel Bans due to Covid-19 as of April 21, 2020
by Sam Goldstein 23 Apr '20

23 Apr '20

Dear LNC, As the Convention Oversight Committee considers contingencies for our upcoming National Convention, state travel bans are one of the many factors we are taking into consideration. I compiled the attached list of such bans from USA Today as April 21st and I would like to ask LNC members, especially Regional Reps, to review the list for accuracy for their states and let me know ASAP if any changes occur. Most important will be updates to the expiration dates of the various bans as many of those make it very difficult or impossible for delegates to travel to/from their home states, even to attend a national political convention. Thanks for your cooperation. Stay safe and Live Free! -- Sam Goldstein, LNC At Large Member Convention Oversight Committee 317-850-0726 Cell

by Caryn Ann Harlos 17 Apr '20

17 Apr '20

As I see we may need to make some quick decisions after the recommendations on May 2, 2020 should we consider a temporary policy manual change with a sunset provision to severely limit the lead time notice required for an emeeting? * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).

Update to deceitful FEC filings
by Tim Hagan 16 Apr '20

16 Apr '20

I had reported about a group filing Statements of Organization with the FEC using variants of the party's name. Those committees have disappeared from the FEC website. Looks like the FEC closed the committees. -- Tim Hagan Treasurer, Libertarian National Committee

Policy Manual
by Caryn Ann Harlos 14 Apr '20

14 Apr '20

All the style changes are made. I will be hotlinking the TOC and posting to site later today. I wanted to note that in August all the RONR citations will need to be updated when the new version comes out. From what I understand the citation convention may also be changing. -- * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum).

requesting ballot access info for May 2 meeting
by Alicia Mattson 13 Apr '20

13 Apr '20

To help the LNC make a more informed decision on May 2 about our viable options, it would be helpful if the Ballot Access Committee could provide us with some information by then: 1) For affiliates in which we do not yet have ballot access, the list of deadlines for naming a candidate and petitioning to get them on the ballot. I know this info is usually in your reports for LNC meetings, but that info may have changed since the last meeting as a result of legislative waivers, judicial relief, etc. 2) The nomination certificates which we send to many Secretaries of State to designate our nominees have particular wording developed over the years to meet various nuances of state laws. One of its clauses asserts that a convention of delegates convened in [location] on [dates] and nominated these particular candidates. That wording may be there because it's important for particular state laws. COC members have also been told by some members that if the convention were (HYPOTHETICALLY) just outright cancelled, and the LNC considered there to be a vacancy in our presidential ticket, thus the LNC filled the vacancy, that some states would not accept that nomination because the state law requires delegates in a convention to select the nominee. So my second data request is whether the Ballot Access Committee could tell us for all 51 affiliates what the legal nuances are about how the nominees must be chosen. We know that delegates nominating from an in-person convention is peachy. Would we potentially have legal challenges if it were done by some means other than delegates meeting in person to cast votes? If so, which states, and what do they require? It could be that some of these answers are better suited for an executive session with our legal counsel present, but they're things the LNC needs to weigh when we're trying to consider options. -Alicia
