Very-long-time LP member Chuck Moulton has submitted an amicus filing to the Judicial Committee in their hearing on the LNC’s November vote to ‘suspend’ (i.e., remove from office) Caryn Ann Harlos as National Party Secretary.

I have seen the same message allegedly from three different people in three different groups. The message reads “I’ve invested years of my time and energy building this group.

Even Santa Claus fears real boo-birds. Before I go any farther, I need to post one small link. It has been more than a year since my last…

November 6, 2024 Notice to Prospective Respondents and Petitioner: On October 30, 2024, LP…
Readers who believed that the LPNH was a legitimate affiliate should this about this. Note LP Bylaws 5.4: “No affiliate party shall endorse any candidate who is a member of another party for public office in any partisan election. “
