After the
Libertarian Party’s Chairman Geoffrey Neale's completely uncalled for letter of
apology, which Vice-Chairman R. Lee Wrights, of course saw as most appropriate,
the general inaction of the LNC to the cancellation of the LPN convention and
the email exchange between Geoffrey Neale, R. Lee Wrights and LPN Chairman
candidate Brett H. Pojunis, which was posted in the LPN’s Facebook Group and
started this entire discussion, I could not help myself against an overwhelming
impression that both Geoffrey Neale and R. Lee Wrights, are determined to
excuse and legitimize reigning LPN Chairman Joe Silvestri’s cancellation of the
LPN elections.
Excusing and
legitimizing is all that both, R. Lee Wrights and Geoffrey Neale have done so
far in their emails and with the Vice-Chair’s very first and last posting in
the Libertarian Party of Nevada’s Facebook Group. Not once have either of them
condemned Silvestri’s cancellation of the elections. Not once have they called
it for what it is. Tyranny!
Posting after
posting R. Lee Wrights continued to downplay the severity of the violations one
of the most basic rights members of the Libertarian Party or of any political
party, should have and do have. The right for free elections and
self-determination.
R. Lee
Wrights speaks of evidence that supposedly has not been provided, and he even
goes as far as blaming me, Brett H. Pojunis and the members of the LPN for the
mess we supposedly created. Both, R. Lee Wrights and Geoffrey Neale basically
made it already clear that if the LPN item remains on the agenda for the July
14 LNC Board Meeting in Las Vegas at all, that both Chairmen are choosing to do
more of nothing about the intolerable situation in Nevada.
R. Lee
Wrights crudely continued to ridicule my fact loaded postings and even tried to
discredit them by simply denying their truthfulness but he cannot keep me or
others from starting to question why he and Geoffrey Neale are doing that.
Why are they
seeking to defend and legitimize the tyrannical cancellation of the LPN election
instead of trying to remedy the crisis and attempted to restore liberty and
justice within the LPN?
Brett H.
Pojunis might be so nice and thank the Vice-Chairman for his input of even
responding in this group, but neither I nor Brett nor many others here are
gullible enough to buy into the pretense of R. Lee Wrights really just wanting
to help.
If either the
Chairman or the Vice-Chairman wanted to help to remedy the intolerable
situation in the LPN would have and should have responded favorably to the
petition of the LPN members for free and fair elections and condemned Joe
Silvestri’s actions while demanding the elections being held as stipulated in
the petition.
Why are R.
Lee Wrights and Geoffrey Neale really so interested in keeping Joe Silvestri in
power and why on the other hand is Joe Silvestri so determined of completely
shredding the LPN into dysfunctional little pieces? Is there a pattern that
might lead to the destruction of the Libertarian Party itself?
If one then
takes into consideration that Chairman Geoffrey Neale’s unjustified letter of
apology not only smeared Brett Pojunis and put his character into question but
actually gave Joe Silvestri a to many seemingly legitimate reason to cancel the
elections, then you really cannot help but wonder. In fact, Geoffrey Neale’s
letter of apology might be a reason that the outcry of the Libertarian Party
members against the grievous violations of cancelled elections was not even
more condemning.
By now, the
LNC must realize that it not only stands to lose its Nevada affiliate along
with almost its complete membership, but that the allowing, condoning and
enabling of tyranny by the LNC has started a brushfire within the membership of
the Libertarian Party itself. Talks of founding a new party and abandoning the
LP altogether are no longer just talks and are by far not restricted to Nevada
alone.
There is
however, some incredible talent, energy and numbers in support of liberty here
in Clark County of which not only the election of “Ron Paulian Libertarian” Cindy
Lake to Chairwoman of the Clark County Republican Party bears witness.
I personally
think and feel that this talent and energy can be channeled into a powerful
force for good, liberty and justice, in which there seems to be little room for
a Libertarian Party that enables and tolerates tyranny.
“Cowardice asks the question: Is it safe?
Expediency asks the question: Is it
politic?
Vanity asks the question: Is it popular?
But conscience asks the question: Is it
right?
And there comes a time one must take a
position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular – but one must take it
simply because it is right.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King
