FIRST APPEAL – JOINT FUNDRAISING WITH RFK, JR CAMPAIGN
I join in the appeal which I consent to have prepared by Caryn Ann Harlos of the Executive Committee decision 20240711-01 “Move to authorize the LNC to enter into a joint fund-raising agreement with the RFK, Jr. 2024 campaign” for violating the Party Bylaws, to include but not limited to Articles 2.1, 2.4, 7.1, 14 (all, but 14.04 with specificity).

SECOND APPEAL – SEND SOS FORMS TO STATES
In the event that Motion 20240710-02 “Move to direct staff to send the Certificate of Nominations to each Secretary of State/Bureau of Elections for each state in which we have not already done so and to note those for which we already have written confirmation that the State Chair has already done so or they have already received and acknowledged in order to put the Oliver/ter Maat ticket on the ballot. This should be fully accomplished within the next seven days.” Fails, I join in and consent to have Caryn Ann Harlos author a petition for appeal on the grounds that it violates the Party Bylaws, to include but not limited to Articles 2 (all), 7.1, 14 (all). These violations can be considered in totality, in several, or both.
Jim, I think you have figured it out. The lawsuits already exist and McArdle could have caused more. A chair trying to intimidate another board member sounds illegal. It is her job to inforce bylaws and not get mad when someone else does.
McArdle would be in a much better position to do a joint fundraiser with RFK if RFK was on the ballot in Colorado as a Libertarian. Explains why McArdle was so pissed at Harlos for trying to stop that. Might explain McArdle’s claim of Harlos exposing the LP to lawsuits.
