Subject: Resignation

Hello All,

As many of you know, after Christmas I advised the former Chair that I intended to resign. She asked me to stay until Ross Ulbricht was free. I agreed to do so and on the day President Trump granted Ross a full pardon, Jake Porter dropped some news that led to the former Chair's resignation. I decided to stay thru the transition and assist in closing out some projects.

Having assisted with these items, I have decided that the time is right. Effective immediately I resign from the LNC and all subcommittees.

I am appreciative of Steven Nekhaila stepping up to helm a ship that is sinking and Paul Darr for his efforts to serve as Assistant Captain. They are both wholly committed to saving the Libertarian Party, which has been in existence for over 50 years. My parting words of wisdom, would be to ask for the membership to assist in this endeavor and renew their membership and make a donation to the party. This is a party worth saving, even if it doesn't seem for many of you to be the case at the moment.

I also ask the LNC to recognize the current financial crisis and prioritize fundraising above all other endeavors. We have had several signs that the board has not been paying attention. Now is the time to start.

In Liberty,

Kathy Yeniscavich

At-Large Member, Libertarian National Committee

This is truly a loss for the party and the LNC that I don’t think anyone on this board can even begin to comprehend.

Thank you so much for your service Kathy - it’s been a pleasure suffering with you.

Thank you for your service to the LNC and the Libertarian Party as a whole. It has been a pleasure being in the trenches with you, an experience we won't soon forget. Please enjoy your time with family and friends and whatever awaits you.

I will be moving to accept the resignation of Ms. Yenischavich from the LNC At-Large, as well as all subcommittees.

Sincerely,

Ms. Yeniscavich, mahalo for your service.

Mr. Chair and fellow members of the LNC, I respectfully insist that we refrain from rushing through any new appointments without providing adequate time for nominations and necessary discussions BEFORE the vote is imminent.

Things will be much better for everyone if we can find solidarity.

Aloha nui loa!

Ms. Yeniscavich,

I wish you all the best and thank you for your work on the LNC.

Mr Chair, and other board members,

Can I request that upon the assumed acceptance of the resignation and the ballot closing, can we please not immediately proceed into a motion to fill the vacancy with some specific individual? I hope this would not be too much to ask, but given recent history, here I am to inquire.
