This consequential vote should also not be on an email ballot.

There are questions about the nature of this case that have not been properly answered. 

The constant rush to prevent discussions and to circumvent the LNC’s duties is creating a hostile work environment.

Mr. Martin,

As a Region Rep for R1 I’m surprised you are saying this. NM wants us in to be involved; it helps their case. Please speak with the NM Chair. The ExCom also spoke about this.

Not sure what you mean by a hostile work environment, you have been coming off as very aggressive lately, have a better day.

Subject: Re: EMAIL BALLOT 20250923-01 JOIN NM LAWSUIT

Mr. Nekhaila, 

I speak to New Mexico regularly, and have great respect to their executive team, who has courageously dealt with this problem for years without much real help from the LNC. You know full well that I want the LP to help LPNM, and lobbied hard for action supporting NM since my election. I also know that New Mexico is not happy that the leadership in the LNC has been playing political football with their state affiliate's survival-fight. This is not even the first time that legal aid for New Mexico has been corruptly leveraged in LNC politics this month. You and Mr. Hall have both tried to hold this over the Region 1 team to gain a tactical advantage.

All I've asked for is meaningful dialogue so that we can make informed decisions. Instead, we are on a constant railroad, and my attempts to simply do my job have been met hostility, procedural crunches, and with open retaliation.  

It's a damn clownshow. 

Mr. Hall still refuses to answer many important questions previously raised, and some of them are directly related to the New Mexico matter. The attorney in question is now in the middle of a substantial scandal with multiple instances of misconduct occurring in full view of this board. There is credible evidence which indicates ongoing legal sabotage and coverups in the LNC. When called out on this misconduct, the issue of New Mexico and the potential destabilization of Region 1 was deployed against the R1 reps as leverage to discourage our inquiries. 

New Mexico DESERVES better from the LNC; they deserve for us to be diligent in how we handle this matter. The critical legal questions being shoved aside via email ballot appears to be intended to stifle discussions which you knew needed to take place. Railroading this item seems to benefit Mr. Hall and those protecting him from professional accountability, not the LP, and not LPNM. 

I agree that we need to take swift and decisive action for NM's sake — but we also have a duty to understand the nuance and implications of a legal decision. We have not been fully advised. In addition to this, our counsel has already proven negligent in his duties to advise the LNC of liability and potential consequences of prior courses of action which he took part in. It has been shown that we need to exercise extra care in our deliberations on legal questions — yet here you are circumventing deliberations. 

How could bum-rushing this item past discussion possibly benefit New Mexico?

Steven,

On Sept 7 you were directed by the LNC to send a cease-and-desist letter to the organization led by Chris Luchini that is actively impersonating the LPNM in violation of the Party's trademark.

Speaking with the leadership of the rightful affiliate, they have not received confirmation that such action was taken.

Can you confirm the date which the cease-and-desist letter was sent and share a copy with the LNC?

Due to the financial concerns now present, Region 4 changes its vote to NO. 

However, we hope that another plan can be worked out so that this can be pursued without prohibitive costs, as we think it’s a worthy case.

I change my vote to abstain, as there is no current legal strategy on the table in regard to how to move forward as co-plaintiff.

I am open to doing whatever it takes to support NM moving forward.

Sincerely,

Steven Nekhaila

I stay “yes”...the affiliate's situation remains unchanged, the original motion is still necessary and valid. We can work out potential issues with counsel. 

Motion: 
LNC to join as a co-plaintiff in the New Mexico ballot access litigation, as per the recommendation by vote of the Executive Committee.

Aloha! 

There is no budget encumbrance on the motion, so there is ZERO reason to vote against it, other than divided loyalties, personal vendettas, or outright corruption. 

This attempt to strong-arm New Mexico was a maneuver that wasn't in the party's best interests, but it’s not too late to do the right thing.

We have spent over $50,000 over past few years fighting the Democrat’s acts of fraud and identity theft in New Mexico; for the LNC to capitulate and throw that investment away now is indefensible. 

For the record, I vote YES to defending our State Affiliate from the corrupt establishment.

Subject: Re: EMAIL BALLOT 20250923-01 JOIN NM LAWSUIT

For the record, I would be in support of monetary expenditure to be co-plaintiff in this case, as I believe our trademark and defending our NM affiliate takes precedent.

I believe it may be wise for the ExCom to create a litigation committee, per the PM, to collaborate with NM and recommend a course of action including expenditures, etc, in order to meet these obligations.

In order to signify that support, I will retract my Abstention and vote Aye. However, we need a plan, we need to spend money now, and we need to do some research.

Wish it could have been done for free, but here we are.

Sincerely,

Steven Nekhaila

Chairman, LNC

Why don’t you let someone who isn’t implicated in a corruption scandal in NM take a stab at that?

Anyone else want to help gang up on the New Mexico Affiliate and assist the state government in teaming up with the Liberal Party imposters and the Democrats to control our swing vote?
