"David [Blau] has already sent me a few [corrections] and promises to do a better job of following up with new inquires (who he says the LPMA was lax in following up for the last couple years)."

"..During George's tenure as Chair, I did not receive one update from LPMA. [#4 UNTRUE]..."

[Editor: Please welcome Geno to our pages.  He refers to an email from Bill Redpath the the LNC, which we reproduce below the fold:]

The LP National Execom appears bent on destroying the LP. The LP National Execom's actions are alienating broad swaths of the membership, exacerbating wide-spread mistrust, and inflaming those who believe its all a reformist conspiracy to take over the LP and purge the membership of true libertarian radicals. However, there's another explanation: they're incompetent. They really do not comprehend the damage they are doing. Either way, we need a new set of officers, officers who believe in the pledge to not advocate the initiation of force for personal or political goals, and who actually understand how it might apply in the context of the LNC. I don't care how hard Bill Redpath thinks Lee Wrights is to get along with. The highest ranking member of the party needs to work with and within all its factions, and not insist on throwing the kids out of the sand box who occasionally throw some metaphorical sand.

First a piece of the letter:

"As his own state chair can tell you (and yours BTW - Pat) - each state chair or [#1] their designated person receives a copy of all inquiries made via the web. In addition, as we explained at the state chairs conference-[#1A], they receive this in their data dumps. They simply have to look at the Bio Date Added column to determine all their new inquires and Membership date added for new members.

When George was Chair for MA, his designated person was Carol McMahon. [#2]."

"I move that: Because the Libertarian National Committee has passed no vote to remove Lee Wrights from his position as an At-Large Representative, that he remains an At-Large Representative, that his name shall be reinstated to the Libertarian Party Leadership webpage, and that his e-mail access to the Libertarian National Committee discussion list be restored."
