LNC members, Please see the link that Jared Hall, the LPIN Political Director has sent. This group isn't tied to , nor authorized by, the national Libertarian Party. Yet, are using the name "Libertarian Party" in their fundraiser attempts. I think a proper 'take-down' action needs to be implemented asap. Also, Jared Hall wrote, and I think it's worth quoting here: "Keep in mind, that although I am bringing this to attention, it bears no weight on the particular candidate with whom this alleges to support, and I would do the same if it were in support of any other candidate, regardless of the level of office being sought." --- Elizabeth Van Horn LNC Region 3 Representative (IN, MI, OH, KY) -------- Original Message -------- SUBJECT: Violation of use of name rights DATE: 2020-05-07 03:00 FROM: LPIN Political Director <politicaldirector@lpin.org> TO: Elizabeth Van Horn <elizabeth.vanhorn@lp.org> I believe our bylaws state who is and isn't allowed to use the name "Libertarian Party." Article 5, Section 1 states the following: "No person, group or organization may use the name "Libertarian Party" or any confusingly similar designation except the Party or an organization to which the Party grants affiliate party status or as otherwise provided in these bylaws." As such, I believe the following to be fraudulent at worse, and an oversight at minimum by this individual: https://donorbox.org/libertarian-party-for-amash-id-c00745463 https://www.fec.gov/data/committee/C00745463/ I also request that this be sent to the business list if need be. Keep in mind, that although I am bringing this to attention, it bears no weight on the particular candidate with whom this alleges to support, and I would do the same if it were in support of any other candidate, regardless of the level of office being sought. -- Sincerely, Jared Hall Political Director Libertarian Party of Indiana 402-580-0941
