Re: Rebuttal of Findings of Rules Committee Notes Concerning JFC Agreement
1. There was no violation of LPF Rules VII 2 as the agreement entered into was a fundraising agreement that is managed by the LNC. Any agreements between any campaigns via the JFC would be solely through the LNC, and not the LPF. This is simply a agreement to allow for funds from JFC donations to be disbursed from the LNC to the LPF.
2. See above explanation for why this is also not a violation of LPF Rules VII 1.
3. Rules VII 1 does not need to be suspended for the reasons given in Rebuttal 1
4. I am not able to comment on the legal nature on the prohibition of fund use, but I would welcome a legal review by a attorney to find out exactly how prohibited we are in using these funds. Worst case is we still have at least two federal level candidates in state, and a presidential ticket, we could support with the funds, and who can help to facilitate down ballot support to state and local candidates
5. There were no violations of Standing Rules VII 1 nor VII 2 as explained in Rebuttals 1 & 2. My actions, while admittedly were handled poorly from a optics perspective in hindsight, were done with the best of intentions in support of the LPF and it's candidates. While I understand the Executive Committee may choose to take action for my lack of transparency on the matter, everything done was within the rules and for and to the benefit of the LPF first and foremost.
