I verified that Mr. Virgin is a member and that Mr. Florey sent this message several times due to a technical glitch. If more members of the BoD are interested we can take action on a resolution or other actions by email or at the 6/20 BoD meeting. On 2023-05-22 21:59, Nathan Florey via Lpil-bod wrote:
Hello everyone, I didn't want to doing anything without input from the state party. Attached is an email I received (along with attachments) asking for help. He has already reached out to We Are the Power, waiting for a reply, and was curious if we could help us well. I was thinking Along the lines of making noise in the media and social media. What do you think?

Good Evening,
My name is Justin Virgin and I am a current member of the Libertarian Party of Illinois.
Today the 1st Amendment came directly under attack via an Emergency Order of Protection against myself for posting memes of public officials and their dishonest followers. I am a firm believer in Government accountability. And here we have an abuse of the system. A system that was designed to help protect people who truly need it.
These allegations against me are false. They are an indirect retaliation for my involvement in the Joliet Municipal Elections that saw a corrupt Bob Okekirk get smoked in a 2-1 landslide loss. Mary Beth Gannon is one of the former Mayors operatives. I have never seen her in person and have never taken her picture in any store. The photo was sent to me in 2022. As you will see in her GRANTED order. She claims the picture was take on 3/28/2023. Which is refuted by the attached ss. Fb took down the post on January 17th 2022.
April 11th never happened either. I can refute her claim with my own bank statements showing I was in Tennessee on April 11th. I also visited a dispensary ok April 11th in Southern Illinois. This video will be available soon.
I need all the help I can get here. The press will undoubtedly be running it in am and you know they're not calling me for a comment.
I am in contact with We Are The People. I do plan on having a conference call with them on Friday.
Our constitution was attacked today. We need to defend the 1st as if it was the 2nd. It's just as important.
Send help!
Thank You,
Justin Virgin
