Her statement followed an extended exchange on the lnc-public list. That exchange will be found in the next article. Her resignation statement follows: From: Caryn Ann Harlos Sunday, June 29, 2025 7:34:56 PM > Subject: Notice of Resignation I have lost all faith in Mr. Nekhaila as Chair. His post this morning was the last straw. Mr. Malagon should also…

The extent to which LP News was to serve the interests of the National Committee’s staff and their friends, rather than the interest of the Party and its elected governing body, was revealed four years later. An article about the Willis Invoice and its aftermath was to appear in LP News. The October 2001 issue of Liberty magazine, based on…
Rather than trying to defend his record, in early 2000 Bergland announced that he would not seek re-election to the National Committee. [Editor: During this period, I ran repeatedly for National Chair. Each time, the Chair chose not to run for re-election. Supporters of the faction running the party played whack-a-mole to keep the National Committee in their hands.] Chapter…
It has been said that some people run for office in order To Do while others run for office in order To Be. Some people want the responsibilities of a job because having the job helps them reach their real objectives. Other people want the title of a job because the title makes them feel important. Bergland made clear he…
These claims are conclusively rejected by the Minutes of the December 12-13, 1998 LNC Meeting, held at the George Washington Inn in Washington, D.C. The Minutes are entirely explicit in showing that Project Archimedes was a project of the LNC. To quote from the very long Minutes: “National Treasurer Mark Tuniewicz said that he had referred Brick Mill Studios to…
Browne also gave Bergland direct access to LibertyWire. The 18 June 1998 mailing of LibertyWire was “An Important Message from David Bergland to Delegates to the 1998 National Convention”. In this message, Bergland laid out his substantial qualifications to be National Chair. He also made clear—by being allowed to use Browne 2000’s LibertyWire message —that he was the chosen candidate…

It also,received $392,122 from political committees, these being transfers due to the Kennedy Victory Fund. A list of the substantial contributions during May reads: 1543.80 1543.80 1042 1000 A list of the largest…
The LNC recently received a report covering, among other things, claims the LNC funds were misappropriated and spent in ways not consistent with Party bylaws and LNC actions. I am not here speaking to the accuracy of the report’s analysis. Others have done that for me.The report then advanced the false argument that since the amount that was lost, a…
Project Archimedes was the program that the Browne campaign needed. Archimedes might or might not work, but it at least promised an opportunity to recruit vast numbers of new dues-paying members, i.e., vast numbers of potential Browne donors. As it turned out, most members were not donors. Only a small fraction of LPUS members ever donated to Browne’s campaign. Bergland…
