Late-in-Year LNC Financial Report

As supplied to us from the LNC, Bill Redpath writes: Here are the LNC November 2024 month end financial statements, and an update on LNC finances through today (Sunday, January 5, 2025). I apologize for not getting the November financial statements to you earlier. The fault is mine. I am in the process of moving from Illinois to Ohio. Due…

Secretary Responds to LNC Chair

We are supplied documents by our many friends on the LNC. And one of them warns us: The LNC did not return Secretary@LP.org to Caryn Ann Harlos.  This address still forwards to Adrian Malagon.  Any email you think to Secretary@LP.org will go instead to the wrong person.] Here we have Caryn Ann Harlos’s response to Angela McArdle’s response to the…

McArdle Blocks Secretary from Internal Discussions

We are advised that the LP National Chair has barred the LP National Secretary from the internal party lists and other party records.  As a result, National Secretary Harlos is unable to participate in the business of the party.  We quote the message from McArdle: From: Angela McArdle <angela.mcardle@lp.org> Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2025 5:19:15 PM To: Caryn Ann Harlos…

Harlos Actually Not Restored

It seems that there was overoptimism.  The Secretary speaks for herself.  One might propose that if the LNC is not properly constituted that any actions it takes are invalid.  

The Free State Project Betrayed – Part 7

Update: Free State Project by Jason Sorens (written two decades ago) The ball is rolling! I’ve received over 200 responses to my essay in last week’s The Libertarian Enterprise, over 95% of them positive. So far 220 people have signed up for the email list I’ve created on Yahoo for announcements relating to the project. That means we are already…

Harlos Reinstated

We are advised by Caryn Ann Harlos that her LNC email link has been reactivated.

Seebeck Delivers Opinion on Harlos Appeal

Mike Seebeck has delivered his opinion on Harlos’s appeal of her suspension by the Libertarian National Committee.  The appeal is rather long.  The longer rear part is a timeline of the odd events involving the LNC, the Kennedy campaign, the Colorado State Party, Angela McArdle, Caryn Ann Harlos, and transfers of large amounts of money.

The Free State Project Betrayed – Part 6

We reach the end of Jason Sorens’ original proposal.  We continue next time with his revised proposal. Sorens wrote: Unfortunately, I am neither an “organizer” type nor a well-known libertarian “personality.” I’m an aspiring political scientist, a thinker; I don’t know the first thing about leading, and my name doesn’t have cache. But if luminaries like, perhaps, Walter Williams and…

LNC’s FEC Financial Filings Are Strange

Readers will have noted that we have not recently posted as much on LNC finances, as revealed in their Federal Election Commission filings.  The end-of-year report is not due until the end of the month. The prior report covers the period around the general election.  The LNC has now filed an original report and two amended reports.  An amended report…
