1999 We now reach 1999, the last year before the Presidential Campaign would be launched. If the campaign were to accumulate a million dollars in cash, it had to do so now. In 1999, the Browne Campaign raised $561,030, which could have taken it half-way to its million dollar goal. It also spent $542,228, ending the year with $44,670 cash…

We are advised by Caryn Ann Harlos: “…Adrian is blocking Life members who have not been abusive and can have legitimate requests.” Her comments apparently went to the entire LNC. Harlos supplied a response said to be from Adrian Malagon, the response asserting “Attached are the lists of people I’ve blocked on both LP emails to help me cut back…
On the brighter side, it had been anticipated that many new members would not renew their memberships after their first year. The wave that had swept party membership up from 27,000 to 33,000 might have receded, taking Party membership with it.

We seem to be recycling the same not-necessarily-bad ideas with some of the same good Libertarians running things. Did Project Archimedes succeed? In one word: No. The National Party never reached 50,000 members, let alone…

Archimedes is sometimes also associated with the law…
The size of the ‘management fee’ is anomalous. On one hand, in Summer 1996 then-Party-Chair Steve Dasbach claimed to Dean Ahmad and Jesse Markowitz that Willis had been paid to produce a ‘document’ for Browne and that Willis produced Browne’s document “…on his own time and he was paid market rate for the work.” This document for the Browne campaign…
For the next LNC meeting, Mr. Chadderdon has moved “Motion to create Investigatory Committee: “That this Board adopt the following resolution: Resolved, that a committee comprised of members willing and able to serve be appointed by the Libertarian National Committee to investigate allegations of misconduct by At-Large Representative Adrian F Malagon, which, if true, cast doubt on his fitness to…
The recent financial report from Bill Redpath include a graph of membership numbers. One graph is defective. It show a lower limit of 10,000 members,but the actual number of members is well below that, off the bottom of that graph. The other graph appears to show the “current” membership, as of the end of May. Printing the graph, and measuring…
