<p>Hello Patrick, <br><br><span>As you're aware, I'm fairly new on the Libertarian National Committee, as I was appointed </span><span>to be LNC Region 3 Representative, a little over a month ago. It's an honor to be given their trust in representing LP-Indiana, LP-Ohio, LP-Michigan and LP-Kentucky on the LNC. I take my "representative" role seriously, and the LP state affiliates within my Region are my constituency.<br><br> 1) On November 11, 2017, the Libertarian Party of Indiana (LPIN) State Central Committee (SCC) unanimously passed a resolution which culminated in, "...the immediate resignation of Mr. Vohra from his position in party leadership." <br><br>On Friday, January 12, 2018, the Indiana state chair wrote to me, "<span><span><span><span class="m_810725136642219728m_8233102624901660252UFICommentBody"><span>Indiana does support and request that very action", regarding Bylaws Article 6.7, a motion to suspend Arvin Vohra. </span></span></span></span></span><br><br> 2) On January 12, 2018 the Libertarian Party of Ohio (LPOH) Executive Committee passed a resolution which culminated in, "The LPO calls for the IMMEDIATE resignation of Mr. Vohra from his positions in party leadership. Failing that, the LPO calls on the LNC to remove (through the formal suspension process) Mr. Vohra before more damage can be done."<br><br>3) I've informed the state chairs of Region 3 that I'd need a clear directive to make a motion per bylaws article 6.7 regarding suspending Arvin Vohra. (With the understanding that the motion might not get to a vote, or pass, if voted upon.) Two of the four state affiliates in Region 3 have told me they want this action taken. Since attempting to suspend an officer of the LP is a serious matter, I told the state chairs in Region 3 that I'd need at least 3 of the four states to agree on the action to be taken. At this time, I await direction from LPMI and/or LPKY. (LPMI has taken the issue into discussion and hopefully will let me know their decision soon.) <br><br>This is why I've not made public comments regarding the controversy surrounding Arvin Vohra. I represent the four states in Region 3, which means it's not my place to direct them, but it's the reverse, they direct me. If the consensus of Region 3 is to make a motion to the LNC, I shall do so. If that happens, it will be another opportunity for anyone on the LNC to second such a motion. <br></span></p>

<div>Ken,
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you for your hard work on behalf of the party and your thoughtful comments on this latest embarrassment to our organization. As you know, I made a motion to remove Arvin last year. Unfortunately, not one member of the LNC felt comfortable supporting my motion at the time. I hope that changes now. </div>
