[Lnc-business] seeking co-sponsors for email ballot regarding Oregon

[Alicia Mattson]

The Wagner group has been for a while essentially treated as the affiliate
by our staff due to administrative decisions, rather than the past
decisions of the LNC which were to recognize the Reeves group and not the
Wagner group.

The only rationale I have heard for this is the Judicial Committee ruling
dated August 25, 2011.  I have already explained numerous ways in which the
JC ruling is inoperable.  Rather than repeat them all again while the
readers' eyes glaze over, I'll just emphasize that at the very least it is
inoperable because the Oregon SOS refuses to accept the responsibility the
JC attempted (without bylaw authority) to delegate to them.  The JC said
the SOS has to do it.  Then the SOS said a judge has to do it.  The judge
says the party has to do it, in contradiction to the JC which said the
party can't do it.  That's an inoperable JC decision in the most basic
sense of the word, without even having to dig into longer debates about
rules which I have previously presented, which I believe also make the JC
ruling null and void.

I am asking for co-sponsors for the following motion:

----------START OF MOTION----------

WHEREAS, the national Libertarian Party's Judicial Committee ruling dated
August 25, 2011 is inoperable;

RESOLVED, the Libertarian National Committee (LNC) Secretary is directed to
send a letter to the Oregon Secretary of State:

1) Asking her office to correct their records because after May 21, 2011,
the outgoing chair of the Libertarian Party of Oregon (Wes Wagner) failed
to notify them of the expiration of his term; and

2) Reminding her that the LNC has several times acknowledged the legitimacy
of the Tim Reeves group of officers who were selected on May 21, 2011 to
replace them (and by implication, any subsequent successor officers);

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the LNC hereby directs staff to update their
records to reflect that the Tim Reeves group of officers are - and have
been since May 21, 2011 - the leadership of the Libertarian Party of Oregon
and that they are entitled to the same rights and privileges as that of any
other affiliate, including being listed on our party's website, subscribed
to the state chairs' email list, and sent monthly data files required by
LNC policy.

----------END OF MOTION----------

 -Alicia
