The speakers, schedule, and other items need to be ratified through the LNC. We need to hold a meeting; I have been wanting to talk finances both for convention and in general. Do we have interest in doing so now?

Subject: Re: LNC Motion - Seeking co-sponsors

The fact is that with one exception I can remember last term the LNC never has approved every speaker.  That provision has been routinely ignored.  That certainly is unfortunate and that passage of PM should be revisited.  However contracts have already been signed with speakers and announced long ago so the LNC has effectively acquiesced.

The one exception is in this thread.  That speaker did not come through CoC as described in that PM provision, it came through Chair acting as CEO and thus does not fall under that provision.  It properly falls under rescission which is the subject here.

If someone wishes to try to rescind other speakers they may get co-sponsors if they can.

tldr; it is being addressed already through this thread as all others already contracted.

I will be making a motion to amend that PM section.  It's been routinely ignored for multiple terms and should reflect actual practice.

Subject: Re: LNC Motion - Seeking co-sponsors

Actually I was incorrect - at least for 2022 all speakers from CoC were approved.  My faulty memory.  I went and found the voting records.  The ones that came out CoC could be ratified at this time if someone wish to make that motion.

The speaker in this thread did not come from CoC.

Apologies for faulty memory.  But that PM still needs to be changed as "convention program" has never been approved which includes far more than speakers

Subject: Re: LNC Motion - Seeking co-sponsors

Point of Order:

The Policy Manual does not require approval for after-hours speakers. Therefore, the Chair acted within her authority as CEO of the Party and entered into, at a minimum, an oral contract with President Trump that has at least already been partially executed, and this motion does not specify what unexecuted portions are to be rescinded.

Furthermore, based on Convention sales, third parties have invested money and perhaps made travel plans in reasonable reliance upon this contract, especially here in California.

Madame Chair,

Enough is enough.

I ask that you act NOW to sanction Mr. Malagon, for repeated cause.

He has repeatedly demeaned, in the most unprofessional way, officers and  members  of this board, other party leaders, and members who contact him.

His comments directed to the treasurer today are once again beyond the pale.   They're outside of what is permissible in any professional organization.  It is your responsibility to stop it.

Sanction him now, please,  or step aside immediately for someone who will (Andrew, Steven, Kathy, anyone!).

You are enabling this, Madam Chair, by not taking action.   It's not just because we're near the convention.  It's been going on for months.

Please take action.   Sanction Mr. Malagon, propose a censure motion, whatever comes to mind.   But do something, please.

Sincerely,

Mark Tuniewicz

Mr. Malagon,

This is either an after hours event which needs no permission or consideration by the entire committee, or it is "... based on Convention sales, third parties have invested money and perhaps made travel plans in reasonable reliance upon this contract, especially here in California."

I cannot be both. Which do you prefer?

It is simply an LNC vote to rescind an invitation

What ruling are we waiting on?

Subject: Re: LNC Motion - Seeking co-sponsors

Against my better judgment, Mr. Malagon’s Point of Order was not based on the Policy Manual.  He mentioned the Policy Manual as I understand it to address comments made in public by members.  His point of order that the invitation cannot be rescinded in full and there are financial costs to the party that were not addressed in the motion which is part of the whole procedure of rescission and did not address the liability to the Party from third parties.

 

It is ironic that some did not want to vote for a Line of Credit without knowing all the details but are fine with malformed motion that I do not believe is in order as written (I made the same point of order before) with catastrophic financial implications.  Further anyone can read the room and know this will not pass.  That is why I called it political theater.  Being on the losing side of an issue, knowing one will remain on the losing side with a motion to rescind, is deeply inconsiderate of the time and emotional cost on fellow LNC members.  I stand by that statement.  With that, I am out. 

 

Mr. Malagon’s Point of Order is being misrepresented.

The minority should not speak up if they are likely to lose a vote?

Perhaps we should stop running candidates?

Sorry, I rarely engage in debate on non-debate threads, but that was a ridiculous post.  I have voted, on principle, on the losing side of dozens of issues this term.  I never read the riot act afterwards, but I have the right to vote my conscience, and “wasting people’s time” on an email ballot is the least we can do when over half of the membership is up in arms surrounding an issue.

I will be done for the night, and await whatever ruling the chair believes she has to make on the point of order

Mr. Hagopian that was not a fair characterization of my point.  Any minority voice (I'm often that voice) is free to express their disagreement in an email and ask others to join with their disagreement.  At less hectic times even do a futile motion.  But at a time when a handful of us are truly sacrificing every waking moment to make this a success forcing a futile vote is political theater.  That's my opinion.  I take no offense if you think it's ridiculous as you stated.  I honestly don't.  We are both adults and have always stated our opinions freely to each other.

I'm just catching up. I will research the point of order in the morning and try to rule quickly. Convention sales skyrocketed today and people did make purchases based on the news, but I'll hold off on ruling based on that til I get a solid understanding. 

Censure:

No, I'm not moving to censure anyone with less than a month left in the term. Yes, Mr. Malagon's list behavior is atrocious. Yes, I have publicly and privately reprimanded him multiple times. 

Notably, Mark saves his awful behavior for Facebook where he frequently accuses me of stealing/fraud/getting paid, and plenty of other demonstrably false lies. I guess that's politics, and it's what political opposition does.

As chair, I am unilaterally instructing everyone to touch grass.

Subject: Re: LNC Motion - Seeking co-sponsors

Sorry for the delay. I've consulted 3 different parliamentarians and my ruling is as follows:

The point of order is well taken for two reasons:

Mr. Hagopian's motion is procedurally incorrect. The LNC cannot rescind something they have not voted on. As the Chair, I made the invitation to Donald Trump. The correct motion would be to direct me to rescind my invitation to him, and to rescind any and all other invitations to other presidential candidates who are not seeking our nomination. I have extended the invite to three other candidates.

The motion is also out of order because we have already entered into financial contracts regarding Donald Trump's appearance. Ticket sales jumped up considerably, we sold debate topic questions, and people have begun to arrange travel, including media.

Additional, relevant information: I extended the invite to other candidates, including Afroman, who is performing for us at an afterparty event. He's been a guest at state conventions in the past. It would be tacky and classless and to now turn him away. While Rich Bowen was COC Chair, he and the committee agreed to let me select all the convention speakers, so I have done that. I kept two of the officers and one COC member in confidence regarding the invitation to Pres. Trump because I wanted some feedback and support before arranging his appearance officially. I did not inform the entire COC or LNC because we have an obvious history of leaks and violations of confidentiality. That's still an ongoing concern.

You can appeal my ruling, if you want. If you make a separate motion on the same topic, I'm going to rule it out of order for the same contractual reasons, but you can appeal that and we can start the appeal/overturn process.

Subject: Re: LNC Motion - Seeking co-sponsors

My appeal is because this point of order was ruled on based on things that were not in the point of order at all.  

The point of order never clamed my motion to be out of order, nor did the point of order reference my motion being procedurally incorrect.  It referenced the policy manual, which my motion never referenced, so is moot.  It referenced individuals making financial arrangements based on the announcement, which does not rise to the level of "contracts"

My original motion never asked to rescind an LNC action, it asked to rescind invitations.  This is absolutely in order, just as the LNC could order the Chair/Staff not to spend money on a certain thing that was never voted on, but that they were normally allowed to spend money on within the typical rules.

Donations can be refunded, those are not contracts.  Has Trump been paid?  Have we been paid?  As Treasurer, if either of these things have happened, I am unaware.

Part of extending a controversial invitation, without a vote, is the risk that people would want to rescind it.  The Chair knowingly took this risk, despite this exact same thing happening earlier in the term.

Point:  Nothing in the Chair's ruling addresses the point of order.  My motion has received the correct amount of sponsors.  There is no need to stifle debate on important issues.  The next step should be a vote.  If you don't like the motion, vote against it, but this LNC has had a terrible history of stifling debate, and this would be an egregious example of that again.
