April 12, 1997
To: State Committee-member
Every single one of you by now should have received from
Lawyer Moore a packet telling you what a complete asshole I
am and how it is your duty to kick me out of the Missouri
Libertarian Party. He has sent you a whole bunch of stuff
gleaned from e-mail and some of my five WorldWideWeb
Internet pages. You are supposed to read it and then `do
your duty' and get the Party -- and the doomed criminals --
off the hook.
If you want, please read what LawyerMore sent you in its
entirety. While he leaves out a lot, I stand by everything I
have written. I wish that he had shown you more of it. That
nitwit left out some of my best stuff.
But regardless of whether you like me or not, what
LawyerMore wants you to do is illegal. It won't stand and
you will end up facing civil and criminal litigation if you
proceed. I will not put up with such behavior. The ones I
have already sued have chosen to hang themselves. Why would
you want to be dangling from the same limb? What they are
doing isn't only illegal -- it is immoral and against every
principle mouthed by so-called Libertarians.
Those of you whom I haven't chosen to sue yet or who are
innocent of misconduct shall be receiving a packet
concerning my present lawsuit against the MoLP and assorted
criminals. You can judge for yourself if you want to do
something stupid.
All committee people will receive my agenda items for the
state committee meeting of April 20, 1997. This is in
accordance with Bylaw 5.1 and Article 7 of the MoLP
constitution. Unlike the majority of the Expediting
Committee, I actually obey internal party rules, even when
inconvenient. Since they are not intelligent enough to have
sent a mailing with their agenda items through the mail a
week in advance, then they will only be able to work on my
attempted crucifixion. By the time this letter reaches you,
it will be too late for them idiots to propose agenda items.
Some of these items are not really eligible to be put up
for a vote. They are part of the normal, legitimate tasks of
doing business as a public entity such as a political party.
The MoLP, by seeking to become a public organization with
political candidates placed upon the ballot, is not a
private club, dedicated only to the wants of inside
political hacks. Better get that fact inside your empty
heads real quick. If, as a member of the majority, you try
to vote away the rights of the minority when such things are
disallowable, you will find out that not only are your wants
negated but you might well be punished. These items are on
the agenda because they have been ignored, glossed over, or
criminally disallowed in the past.
Some items on the agenda are indeed to be put to a vote. I
hope that I have worded them such that if they are voted
down, you will face maximum moral and political damage. I
will put you on the spot if I can. They are simply good
sense and honorable political practices designed so that
responsibility and accountability are harnessed to the raw
political power of `majority rule.' Real Libertarians used
to know that `democracy' usually degenerates into nothing
more than five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have
for lunch. By what right do you bellyache about DemoPublican
majorities voting to criminalize drug use and sodomy and
then when you get a majority you vote to kick me or others
out of the Party because of the abrasive things I have said
or written? If Lawyer More and the rest could vote in a
lynching of myself -- they would.
Agenda Item #1: A standardized form listing the agenda item
to be passed in its proper wording will be prepared by the
sponsoring state committeeman. Any amendments to the
legislative item will be prepared by the amending
committeeman on the original form, space permitting, or
attached as a separate sheet to original form. The votes
`yes' and `no' shall be signed by the legitimate
representatives who vote on the item. One copy of this vote
shall be retained by the sponsor and one copy retained by
the Missouri Libertarian Party to discourage fraud both in
the wording of the item and in the votes counted.
(proposed Form enclosed.)
Argument: In the past two or three years I have personally
observed that about every single new rule or constitutional
amendment has been marred by fraud both in the item passed
or the votes counted. The item voted upon is either
deliberately changed to suit the interests of Expediting
Committee, or people who have no right to be voting on the
issue are voting, or in the relative anonymity of voice
vote, passing legislation they certainly would not want
attributed to themselves. The current chaotic and fraudulent
method of rule-making must come to an end, as it promotes
the interests of the dishonest and unscrupulous.
Example: The January 19, 1997 Bill of Attainder passed
against me as a target. LawyerMore, Judas Knapp and Phil
Horrass knew what they wanted to pass, they only differed in
the method, and of the lot of them only Judas Knapp had a
written copy of the proposed attainder. LawyerMore didn't,
and as usual he was both incoherent and hysterical. The vote
was fraudulent as there were only 28 people present that I
counted, and some of them were not state committee people
allowed to vote. There was a deliberate miscount. Nobody
knows for sure what the vote really was, and this was
intentional by Jim Givens. After the session, Jeanne
Bojarski, alleged Secretary of the MoLP, changed both the
number and the wording of the new Bylie.
This sort of behavior is the norm for the MoLP. It is not
only immoral, but it violates the MoLP constitution and
state law.
Also, the conspirators violated Bylaw 5.1 and Article 7 of
the MoLP constitution by not sending me, or other state
committee-members, "the proposed amendment . . . in writing
at least a week prior to the State Committee meeting." This
is why they are called conspirators, in the 42 U.S.C. § 1985
civil rights sense, because they commit conspiracies against
the civil and human rights of other people. Thanks to them,
criminal fascist conduct and `Libertarianism' have become
synonymous.
Repeal of a illegitimate Bylie 1.2 or 1.3 -- whatever --
is not on my agenda because it never was validly proposed,
voted upon, or passed. It is idiotic to repeal a bylaw which
never legitimately existed.
Agenda Item #2A. Libertarian Party officers should be
elected in accordance with Revised Statute of Missouri
(RSMo) 115.623 as soon as possible, but not on April 20,
1997.
Argument: The MoLP should have elected a chair, vice-
chair, secretary and treasurer on Jan. 19, 1997, which was
the first time (not counting post-election 1994) that a
state committee met. The state committee chose not to do so
because they were preoccupied with illegally abdicating the
legitimate powers of the state committee to an Expediting
Committee which they could control with an entrenched
majority of ten or twelve in this smaller body. They also
had a bill of attainder to target against one certain,
unnamed individual they wanted passed.
The reason they didn't want the state committee to do its
job of being the legitimate governing body of the MoLP is
because the right-wing Libertarians from the 32d Senatorial
District elected somebody who takes his duties to represent
them very very seriously in return for the small pleasures
of speaking frankly about the moral and mental limitations
of certain fascist mattoids who misrepresent other
senatorial districts. By usurping the powers of the
senatorial districts, the rights of Libertarians to
legitimate representation are denied and members of the
Expediting Committee then have power to do whatever they
want without having to be forthright in their repression.
Ever since I have known them, the members of the
Expediting Committee have never wanted the rank-and-file,
nor their representatives, to have any say in the management
of the Missouri Libertarian Party. The same 8-10 criminals
can usually get about 10-12 useful idiots to back their play
for power. This has been the case for over two years now.
This is why our party has degenerated morally and
politically. A party devoted only to the aggrandizement of
fewer than 25 criminals and idiots is never going to enjoy
broad-based support from the general public.
Since there were no items on the agenda posted to the
state committee members a week in advance, the only
legitimate item of business which was supposed to be
conducted was the election of MoLP officers. This was not
done. Hence there is no chair, vice-chair, secretary or
treasurer of the MoLP. Any items or duties performed by the
pretend incumbents are nullities when challenged. Anything
done by these pretend officers and pretend Party bodies on
or after Jan. 19, 1997 are void. The only legitimate Party
officials in a state-wide sense (above the county and
district levels) are the state committee members, two
elected from each senatorial district. The only legitimate
business which can be conducted is business placed on the
agenda by a state committee person. If I am the only one
presenting lawful business on the April 20, 1997 state
committee agenda, then so be it.
There is no need to elect state officials until the
current mess has been cleared up and at least a month's time
has been allocated for the campaigning of state officers. In
any case, at least a week must pass before another state
committee has been notified with enough time to run a slate
of candidates. Therefore, as Agenda Item #2B, I hereby place
on the agenda a motion that state committee officers be
elected on a Sunday in the month of May 1997.
Agenda Item #3A. The Expediting Committee will be abolished
in favor of governing by the legitimate state committee. The
day to day business operations will be handled by the state
officers (chair, vice-chair, secretary and treasurer). Every
three months the state committee will make and determine
policy, and establish oversight of state officers by means
of meetings, posted letters, surveys in the official
newsletter, electronic mail and the Internet.
Argument: The original 1992 MoLP constitution envisioned
that the Expediting Committee would be a temporary construct
to run the day to day business. There were not very many
Libertarians back in 1992, and with the limited memberships
there were not enough people to staff a state committee of
two delegates from each of the 34 senatorial districts. So
this temporary extra-legal construct was acceptable in 1992.
In 1994 a state committee should have been formed
according to law. But after the Nov. 1994 election, factions
were formed within the MoLP. Since that time, Expediting
Committee seats, especially within the 7th District, have
been fought over to the neglect of grass-roots Party support
and legitimate representation through a state committee
selected by senatorial districts.
A glance at improperly amended MoLP constitution shows
that the Expediting Committee has consistently usurped more
and more power to themselves to the detriment of the
legitimate state committee. At the illegitimate May 25, 1997
convention, Article 5.4, 5.5, and 6.3 were added to the MoLP
constitution for the sole reason to disallow proxy voting to
the detriment of Libertarians who live, like myself, over
200 miles away from Columbia. Bylaw 7.1 prohibited "fusion"
unless the Expediting Committee gave its permission. This
is a usurpation of affiliate rights and responsibilities.
At the January 19, 1997 first State Committee meeting, the
MoLP constitution and bylaws were illegally and fraudulently
changed for the sole purpose of giving the renamed
Expediting Committee more power at the expense of the state
committee -- the true governing body according to state law
and the MoLP constitution.
There is a reason for this misconduct. The MoLP by and
large is composed of second- and third-rate mediocrities who
refuse to let the MoLP grow beyond their limited abilities
to control. They want to play at running a political party
without interference from more talented rivals. Hence the
voting in new rules and the fascist conduct in order to get
their way. Whenever they have a majority, they count snouts
and vote away the rights of the minority. Whenever they are
in the minority, they adjourn and delay until a day when
they are in the majority.
I have seen them in action for over two years now. Every
single time I have observed a blend of chaotic, lawless,
fascist behavior. Words cannot describe the contempt and
disgust I have for these losers. This is why I must clear
out these criminal idiots completely in order to build an
effective Missouri Libertarian Party.
I formed the first state senatorial district on July 5,
1996 in order to protect the rights of myself and the
Libertarians of the 32d Senatorial District after we were
disenfranchised and defrauded at the May 25, 1996 MoLP
Convention.
The ostensible reason you other state committee-members
are being called together on April 20, 1997 is so that you
can proceed to interfere with a duly elected public Party
official from the 32d District. You are violating civil
rights, and engaged in a conspiracy to violate the civil
rights of myself, the public voters of Granby precinct, the
Newton County Libertarian Party, and the 32d Missouri
Senatorial District Libertarian Party. Have I ever
interfered with you or your constituents in your county or
senatorial district? You have absolutely no right to gang up
in a cowardly lynch mob and vote to remove me from an office
outside your jurisdiction.
Agenda Item #3B: MoLP constitution Articles 3.1 and 3.2 are
hereby used to remove Phillip Horrass and J. Mark Oglesby
from their positions as Expediting Committee delegates from
the 7th Congressional District effective May 25, 1996.
Argument: As a state committeeman from the 32d District I
shall use Article 3.2 to challenge these Expediting
Committee delegates from the 7th district before the state
committee. Article 3.1 states that these delegates are
chosen by the "respective members of the State Committee
residing in that District." The selection or removal of
these delegates are thus not a matter for State Committee
vote outside that particular district. Having mounted this
successful challenge, and since Article 3.2 doesn't allow
these challenged delegates to vote and they are also state
committeemen, this challenge will succeed by default by the
vote of 2-0 when both myself and Dr. Hal Williams vote to
terminate both Horass and Oglesby from these offices.
Holding true to our principles of legitimate governing by
state committee, these illegitimate positions shall remain
vacant from the 7th Congressional District.
The reason this matter is felt so strongly is because
Horass and Oglesby at the illegitimate May 25, 1996 MoLP
convention used majority rule to vote that five proxies from
the 7th Congressional District could not be used. Then, once
having disenfranchised these five members from their
district, they used majority rule to change the method of
voting so that in effect two delegates from the 30th
Senatorial District were elected at the expense of the 32d,
28th, and 27th districts. What is especially disgusting is I
found out the next day, upon looking at MoLP membership
rolls that two of the people who voted away our rights in
favor of Horass and Oglesby were not members of the MoLP!
The vote margin was only by one vote until the proxies got
disenfranchised. Also Horass used his 14-year-old son to
vote away the rights of registered voters in defiance of
state law. One of the proxies disenfranchised was Dr.
Williams. When I made the point of this fraudulent behavior,
Horass said that I wouldn't be able to prove intent. I
disagree. Successful criminal activity seldom happens by
accident. A modus operandi shows intent.
On July 5, 1997, I and the rest of the 32d District
Libertarians drew up constitutions for the Newton and Jasper
County and the 32d District Libertarian Parties. We
specifically said that we intended to use Article 3.1 and
3.2 to remove Horass and Oglesby for fraud as 7th District
delegates at the July 21, 1996 Expediting Committee meeting.
When I got there, the Expediting Committee refused to
follow the dictates of the MoLP constitution regarding this
matter. James Givens, ostensible chairman of the MoLP said
that no we couldn't, yes we could, then no, we couldn't
remove those delegates. Givens' reasoning? The Expediting
Committee wasn't the State Committee. When I pointed out
that there was never a State Committee meeting ever before
and under what authority was a convention held in May then?
Givens claimed that the Columbia area had an elected
senatorial district and that the convention was held on that
state committeeman's say-so. When I pointed out that in that
case, I had the say-so of two state committeemen, Givens
refused to allow the matter to proceed. The Expediting
Committee meeting was adjourned in order to deny a hearing
on that matter.
The next day, July 22, 1996, I filed suit in federal court
concerning the $200 filing fee.
So how am I able to justify voting out Horass and Oglesby
from their positions, even when gained by fraud and deceit
when I am complaining about my attempted removal as a state
committeeman by the state committee? Isn't this hypocritical
of me?
No. I could be removed from my position as 32d Senatorial
District Chairman & state committeeman for misconduct by the
Libertarian committeemen of Newton, Jasper, and McDonald
Counties. The Libertarian committeemen of Jasper County
cannot remove me from my Chairmanship of the Newton County
LP. I cannot remove Dr. Williams from his vice-chairmanship
of the Jasper County LP. The Libertarian committeemen of
Newton County can remove me for misconduct from my Newton
County chairmanship. Absolutely nobody can remove me for any
reason from my elected position as Granby precinctman,
because it was the general public who voted for me as a MoLP
public official on the August 6, 1996 primary election. Some
of the people who voted for me as Granby precinct
committeeman may be Libertarians. Some of them are not.
Horass and Oglesby can be removed under Article 3.1 and
3.2 by the state committeemen from the 7th Congressional
district. The office of delegate to the Expediting Committee
is not one recognized, much less protected by RSMo 115.603-
115.627. Neither I nor all of the state committee combined
can remove Horass or Oglesby from their elected positions as
state committee-members or holders of county or district
office. The Libertarians of that particular subdivision are
the only ones who have authority and responsibility to
discipline them -- and only if they choose to do so.
Agenda Item 4A. Since the vast majority of so-called
`Missouri' `Libertarian' `Party' members cannot bother to
obey their Constitution and Bylaws, such Constitution and
Bylaws should be immediately scrapped in favor of the state
laws governing political parties. The affiliate Party
organizations may be ruled by their own constitutions and
bylaws.
Argument: `Constitutions' and `laws' can be death-traps
when enacted by criminals who have no intention of obeying
their own rules and mindlessly obeyed by the stupid,
foolish, weak, or morally insecure.
At the Jan. 19, 1997 State Committee meeting, I proposed
that "Since you people cannot be bothered into obeying your
own little rules, why don't we just scrap the MoLP
Constitution and Bylaws altogether?"
I didn't get a second even from Dr. Williams, who hissed
at me to remember my previous intention of allowing the Pud-
Pullers all the slack necessary for them to fashion into
nooses to hang themselves. So I shut up and let the farce
proceed and my motion died for lack of a second.
Agenda Item 4B: I hereby call for a resolution to call a
MoLP constitutional convention before February, 1998.
Argument: Someday the MoLP Constitution and Bylaws will have
to be redone in order to get it to fit our ideology. The
1992 Constitution will have to be upgraded to fit a growing,
dynamic grass-roots organization governed from the bottom-
up. The top-down Stalinist modeled 1996-97 illegitimate MoLP
con-stitution which has concentrated power into the hands of
a selfish, idiotic, and criminal Expediting Committee must
be absolutely purged -- root, branch, and deadwood.
The problem is that self-government is impossible among
people who lack any trace of self-discipline and morality.
The MoLP is filled with self-proclaimed `Libertarians'
intent on illegally voting away the rights of others
whenever possible. Even Republicans, Democrats, Socialists
and Nazis -- all the other brands of socialism -- have more
self-respect and a sense of shame than `Libertarians.'
I do not see the situation improving any in the
foreseeable future. However, once I have won my lawsuits and
the current criminal element is driven off due to financial
and political bankruptcy and the idiotic element overawed,
it might very well be possible to plan for the return of
sanity by next spring at the earliest.
Agenda Item #4C. Plaintiff will bring up some examples of
fraud involving some unauthorized changes in the MoLP
constitution.
Agenda Item #5. State party meetings will not be held in any
public areas wherein any faction can have their political
opposition removed under color of law.
Argument: This is exactly what happened at the Expediting
Committee meeting held at the Heidelburg restaurant in
Columbia on March 16, 1997.
One of the criminals I am presently suing was overheard
planning to erase discovery. When I started audio and video
tape recording of this misconduct, the other criminals acted
like cockroaches when the light is turned on. They got the
manager, one of their fellow political hacks, to demand that
I leave with the recording equipment. I explained to the
Adolf Hitler clone that I was an alternate to the Expediting
Committee, and that in any case it was a public meeting to
discuss public business and hence subject to the Missouri
Sunshine Act -- which he was in the process of violating. He
called the Columbia Police Department anyway. A policeman
came, and under extortionary threat of false arrest if I did
not leave, I left.
The net result will be Count 4 added to my present federal
civil-rights lawsuit, plus the addition of some new as well
as some old defendants.
One of the problems is that I am supposed to show up for
my crucifixion at the Heidelburg on the 20th. I'll be
bringing my audio and video equipment. Some members of the
press are coming. If the MoLP acts true to its fascist form,
what will happen if they decide to break some more laws
concerning public meetings?
As a public service announcement to my fellow
`Libertarians' and some other assorted moral degenerates, I
pro-offer the following:
If you do want to indulge in your favorite activities such
as smoking some dope or merely wish to engage in a little
recreational sodomy don't do it in front of: Jim Givens, Jim
and LaDonna Higgins, Steve and Lisa Schaper, Phil Horass, J.
Mark Oglesby, Kevin Goodwin, Dick Turpin, Karl Wetzel,
Jeanne Bojarski and Grant Stauffer or LawyerMore. If they
don't like you, they'll narc you out in a second to the
pigs. Regardless of whether or not they indulge in the very
same activity themselves.
Agenda Item #5. Under Bylaw 1.2, Plaintiff will be ecstatic
to receive numerous censures and disavowals from the State
Committee. Plaintiff hereby waives any notice to appear.
Plaintiff will represent himself. Plaintiff will entertain
any absurd charge dreamed up on the spur of the moment by
Pud-Pullers. If Plaintiff is given a copy of the charge
sheet in triplicate printed on soft, fluffy paper and fed at
MoLP state committee expense sufficient to generate an
adequate bowel movement, Plaintiff might even vote with the
degenerate majority without demurral.
Argument: None.

sure you regret it.

The above form could be used for legislative business. It
is a simple measure, easily implemented, to eliminate the
confusion, fraud and deceit which are currently staples of
`Missouri' `Libertarian' `Party' poly-ticks. --Martin
Lindstedt.
.
Comments: I sent these copies to all the state committee people one week in advance. This was in accordance with the MoLP constitution, Article 7 and bylaw 5.1. There is no provision that the above letter be received one week in advance. Therefore, unlike the legislation passed at the January 19, 1997 state committee meeting which didn't have advance posting (for obvious reasons -- they were planning to violate RSMo 115.603-627 and pass a bill of attainder against myself) at least a week in advance, my agenda items were legal according to the MoLP constitution.
On the way up to Columbia early Sunday morning, Dr. Hal Williams predicted that it looked the the MoLP committeemembers would have no choice other than to start obeying the law. They would have to make up with me.
I told him that he didn't know them "Libertarians" like I knew them, and that they had no respect for lawful procedure, the rights of others, or anything beyond their own wants. The criminals had no choice other than to tuck their heads in and charge. They would take the fools with them. These people are no better than the vast majority of Americans today -- in some cases far worse.
On the way home, I reminded Dr. Williams that I had told him so. Dr. Williams said that they had regressed beyond 6th grade schoolchildren -- they would make up the rules as they went along, much like in Lord of the Flies.
This report is posted in order to show that these so-called "Libertarians" were predictable. While I did not suspect that the Columbia policemen would be quite so brutal, it was better than 85% probability that they would invite me up to the Heidelburg, then when I refused to do exactly whatever they pleased, that they would call the police. This is why I borrowed $50 dollars from my brother in case of trouble. They did not suspect that I would insist upon charges being pressed, thus making them responsible for the arrest of a political opponent. If I had planned my tactics better, I would have given Dr. Williams the keys to my girlfriend's car so he could put the girlfriend's videocamera in the trunk and make it back home if necessary. I could have thus refused to make bail, thus adding to these AnarchyFascist rascals the opprobrium of having jailed a political opponent.
Morally, these so-called Libertarians were bankrupt a long time ago. Claiming to love freedom, they never cared for anything except power. Now they are finished politically, because now they will remain associated with hypocracy, lawlessness, and fascism. Legally, in due time, I shall finish them as well.
