People Who Demand the Laws be followed are not the problem
Delegates have a duty to PROTECT the Party from Officer and State Executive Board malfeasance
When leaders of a political party:
>ignore the Party's constitution and rules
>interfere with oversight
>violate statutes
They don't deserve the honor of the positions they hold.
When the chair Backdates Documents, The party has a problem
MN Stat 202A.12 REQUIRES Party Docs be FILED With the MNSOS as THEY ARE PASSED
By May '22 the Chair was aware that NO Chair had filed a Constitution since 1988 and NO amendments to a Constitution had been filed since 1995.
For whatever reasons, the Chair chose to not remedy the issue in a timely manner.
NEW 2023 LAW REQUIRES Every MAJOR PARTY to Certify PARTY is IN COMPLIANCE With NEW LAW
For the FIRST TIME, each Major Party is now REQUIRED to remain in compliance with its own governing documents.
This LAW will PROTECT THE PEOPLE from CORRUPT LEADERSHIP.
State Central & Convention Delegates Held ZOOM Call to SEEK COMPLIANCE PLAN to PROTECT THE PARTY
On 8/24/23, approximately 70 people, including delegates, alternates and legislators, joined a zoom call to learn about the law and discuss the need for compliance.
The Chair hastily filed a document dated 2/1/22- The document proved Party noncompliance
On 8/28/23, the Chair submitted a letter with an attachment that included the amendments passed in May '22 at the State Convention. The date on the letter predated passage of the amendments. This was either a careless act or an intentional effort to mislead people about when the document was filed.
OOPS- The effort to correct problem made it WORSE! Doc sent AGAIN with COVER Letter NOW Dated 2/1/23
The Chair, and all who saw it, realized the first letter could NOT BE VALID. On 9/5/23, the Chair submitted another letter to the MNSOS -
The Chair intentionally backdated
the letter 2/1/23 rather than explain what happened in a cover letter correctly dated 9/5/23.
9/5/23 Letter= MORE PROOF of NONCOMPLIANCE
The Chair resubmitted documents with a cover letter: He
intentionally changed the date on the cover letter to 2/01/2023.
The Addendum attached to the document, that includes the amendments passed as a block in May '22, is dated 8/11/23.
The Chair could NOT have filed this document in February 2023 because the document
DID NOT EXIST YET.
The Party needs a CHAIR who:
listens to honest consultants
who advise him to:
FOLLOW THE LAW
RESPECT the BASE
PROOF READ DOCUMENTS
ADMIT MISTAKES
