LP members: Over the past several days especially, many of you have written to or spoken with me asking what you can do to express and effectualize your support of, or opposition to, various matters in the National Committee’s purview or realm of general suasion. Below is my current advice toward that end: - Be loud on whatever platforms you can. This should go without saying, but sometimes those things that should go without saying, when unsaid, are unsaid without going. - Write the entire.lnc address to share your thoughts. Logical arguments, absent unsubstantiated claims (including but not limited to profanity and ad hominem attacks), are most effective. Whether you are a citizen of a country or a member of a party, the worst thing to say is nothing at all. The way you say what you do, however, bears on its reception. As a general principle, people tune out when they read far-fetched accusations or ascriptions of motive without cause. Something as simple as “I am writing to urge you to ___” carries more weight than silence. Will it annoy us if you flood our inboxes? Perhaps (although I haven’t been annoyed yet). Will we remember and hold your writing against you personally? Unlikely (and the more people who write, the less likely we are to recall specifically those who do, unless they are particularly disrespectful or, alternatively, compelling). - Contact your state Chair and/or *mumbles* region rep because we have to work within the material institutions available to us *end mumble* and urge them to Perform Concrete Action X (e.g., support/oppose/sponsor a motion to…, vote to…, work toward [this or that project you have an idea for], etc.). - Lobby your state Executive/Central Committee to pass a resolution urging Concrete Action X, send it to the LNC, and post it on social media. Most state cohorts have excellent writers among them anyhow, but as the officer who is traditionally more often tasked with interfacing with state parties, I am generally quite glad to advise on any resolutions, the only restrictions being that I will not, in the process, provide any information covered under NDA or any other information logically inferred to be confidential / private with regard to particular individuals. In many cases, you should already have the information you need to write a compelling and accurate resolution, even without each particular of every fact. As Vice Chair, my intention is never to be the members’ voice—your job is to be your own voice. It is to elevate those voices that work to be heard and to amplify those actions that work to create momentum. I hope what is written above helps to provide some guidance on how to help me do so, and, in the process, strengthen the power each of you has as a member of our Party and movement.

Hello All, As stated yesterday Lana Leguia was informed that NJ SoS Dale Caldwell reversed the lower court ruling, thus allowing her to be on the ballot this November! However, she still has to pay her lawyer for services rendered. We don't normally ask for donations, but if you want to see Lana successfully face off against Tom "MIA" Kean Jr. please consider donating to her campaign. Our thanks to Secretary of State Caldwell for helping to protect free speech and our democracy. In Liberty, -DoubleYou Ess From Lana Leguía: "The Republican State Committee tried to kick me off the ballot. They thought I'd be ill-prepared, unsupported and back down. They thought wrong 💋 Today was a win for the first amendment. A win for political speech. Congratulations to all the voters in District 7. You now have another choice on your ballot. Thank you to Joseph Fortunado Esq, all the Libertarians, Greens, Independents and others who helped connect me to the right people and to the right information to achieve ballot access. This affects us all. While today was a win, the question still remains, why is there a statute on the books that judges are compelled to enforce despite it being ruled unconstitutional over and over again? A statute that results in frequent modification, reversals and rejection by the Secretary of State. Does the State of New Jersey prefer to keep wasting the courts time? Do they want to continue burdening candidate campaigns that are already at a disadvantage? Why hasn't statute R.S.19:13-7 been amended to reflect accepting out of state circulators? I will be reaching out to our legislatures to rectify this. Your choices were almost limited this year. I was almost kicked off the ballot not because my petition was fraudulent, misleading or deficient but because they wanted to play games with technicalities to guarantee maintaining power. How many other candidates in the past had similar experiences but with a different outcome? Remember that when you fill out your ballot in 5 months. To paraphrase Mr. Fortunado in court on Tuesday "The two parties spend more of their budget kicking third parties off the ballot than third party candidates spend on their entire campaign." givebutter.com/leguiaforcd7

I finally met my congressman. He asked me to drop. I said no. RFK Jr called me and asked me to drop out. I said no. The only election fraud I have ever seen evidence of is the states and my own US House Representative trying to keep me off the ballot. Last time it went all the way to the Supreme Court of Iowa. How much further can we take it than that? I have always followed the SOS rules and the office has been amazing. It is the SOS himself that I have some questions about.

We had mentioned in this article that the @LPNational National Committee is seeking control of an escrow of bequested funds. The total worth equates to $111,863.52. We have since found that the same man bequested funds of $111,863.52 to the National Committee as well.

Abolishing ICE would legitimately shrink government. Giving it more money grows government.

We aren’t backing down, and we aren’t going anywhere. The national LP will use all available methods and resources to defend Libertarian candidates in Iowa from these thuggish attacks by high-priced GOP operatives. @LPIowa Read our full statement: lp.org/libertarian-party-con…

My ballot access is being challenged indirectly by Zach Nunn for a second time. Someone that claimed to work for him. Their company also made attack ads against @MassieforKY @RepThomasMassie This time it is about my name. My birth name is Mark Thomas Andersen but I have gone by Marco Thomoso Battaglia at least since the second Dark Mirror album, Portrait of Evil, and my youngest son (biological) is named Battaglia. I was going to change my name when I got married but then I didn't get married. These challenges are making a mockery out of this process and the courts. And wasting resources and taxpayer money. It also keeps Sand, Pate, and Bird from focusing on more important things related to their duties and from campaigning. Anyone can use this statement on record.
