National Secretary Caryn Ann Harlos has moved that the LNC should rescind the joint fundraising arrangement with RFK that was voted Thursday by the LNC Executive Committee. Correspondence follows:
From: LP Secretary
I am seeking co-sponsors for the following motion: Move to rescind the decision of the Executive Committee to enter into the joint fund-raising agreement with the RFK, Jr. 2024 Campaign.
That is the motion and now I will give additional argument. First I believe it is against the bylaws and I have no idea what the results would be if it is voided by the JC. But second, I cannot imagine any circumstance in which this was a genuine “emergency” that could not have been deferred to email vote of the entire LNC after the meeting tonight. The full LNC has to live with this, they should all have a say. Including our Vice Chair. If it is rescinded a motion can be made to approve it. Someone can call for a full LNC meeting to decide in 5 days. This was done all wrong and is a disservice to our presidential campaign and our members to rush through an Ex Comm meeting.
In Liberty, Caryn Ann Harlos
Support promptly appeared:
I co-sponsor. Bill Redpath
Cosponsor Dustin Nanna
We are advised that the petition may already have 400 signatures.
The treasurer wants to resind should wake people up.
This Chair is seriously losing her cool with no pretense of impartiality. The rest of the committee should say something but won’t.
Your headline has the wrong Kennedy
Fixed
I agree that this deal should be rescinded. The party needs money but this is not a good way to get it This is just latching on to a “Shiny Badge” celebrity candidate who is not our candidate and who is not even really a libertarian, in an attempt to get easy money. The real way to get more funds is to build the party up engage in activities and run candidates which inspire people to donate, not to barnacle on the band wagon of somebody who is not our candidate and who does not really care about our party or the greater libertarian movement.
RFK Jr. may have some redeeming qualities and he may be better than a typpical mainstream politician but this does not make him a libertarian.
This Harlos redemption arc after watching the past year + of shenanigans is wild. The LP is like a sitcom mixed with a hospital drama. Scrubs?
WAR aka Wayne Sellout Root had a camera crew with him the whole time he was running for President in 08 followed by when he was the VP Candidate. He really felt the LP would make a great reality TV show. He may not have been wring! Can someone get TLC involved before the LNC becomes better suited for the SyFy network?
STAT!
