From: Sam Bohler To: LNC Board <lncboard@lp.org>; lnc-public_forward <lnc-public_forward@lp.org> Subject: Let’s Refocus the Board on Party Business Colleagues, The infighting needs to stop. It is actively harming not only this board, but the party itself. I understand that some members may have strong feelings and motions to censure, however they are premature at best, and merely extenuating the corrosion happening…

Mr. Nekhaila also called upon Mr. Martin to resign from the LNC. An extended discussion followed, involving also Mr. Chadderdon, Mr. Bohler, and Mr. Wiley. The discussion follows. It is long. In places, it is heated. The Bylaws Justification for removing Mr. Martin from the email lists, is unclear. From: Austin Martin <austin.martin@lp.org> Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2025 2:07 PM…

I believe that the following is in chronological order, a feature complicated by the LNC’s discussion software and peculiar settings for their timebase and alleged location. Note the admission that the LNC still has a secret discussion list, namely the complaint that lnc-public was added to the thread at some point by some one.

Appendix The Non-Initiation Oath A significant part of the Arizona debate has referred back to the non-initiation of force Oath, which the National Party and some, but not all, state parties require of their members. The Oath, which dates back to the founding days of the Libertarian Party, is an agreement that Party members will not support the initiation of…

Thus, both groups could run candidates in the Libertarian primary by petitioning. They did it in 1998. Candidates either do or do not take matching funds. That’s an individual decision, candidate by candidate, not a Party…
Listening to Arizona I called people in the Phoenix group. They’re the ones with ballot access. I am reporting what is perceived and stated, as I understood it from members of the Phoenix group.

It was clearly not recognized that this…

The current value, with a small investment for repairs ($25-50K) – would have netted about $800-825K – reducing the losses by about $200K – an excellent ROI. Yes, they could have fundraised (from one major donor) for this. They could have taken a…
