Keith, if this is to be done, all must be in order. The current document appears on the face to be fraudulent. The return address is treasure but the signature is secretary. The office of the treasurer is not the same as the office of secretary.

Mr. Horne,
Aren't our secretary and (interim) treasurer the same person? That would account for the different signatures.
It certainly appears to be legitimate.

Attendance by all Officers and Parish Representatives is required per the Party By-laws. A working agenda is posted online on the Party website and a final agenda will be issued seven days in advance of the meeting. On this final agenda you will see a section for an executive session where the Committee will consider a disciplinary motion to remove Mr. Scott A. Lewis, III from his office as Vice-Chairman of the Party for the following charges and specifications: Charge 1. Dereliction of Duty of the Office of Vice-chairman Specification 1. Not being present for the convention at which he was elected, and at which he was to serve as an officer, being already duly elected by the previous convention. Specification 2. Not being present for the first State Central Committee meeting, held in Alexandria, Louisiana, such attendance being required of his office by the By-laws, his absence preventing a quorum, causing members and officers to travel at great expense to themselves without purpose. Specification 3. Not being present for a meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee which he chairs, after calling the meeting, and inviting members from other parts of the State to attend, causing them to travel at great expense to themselves, and instead, attempting to chair a physical meeting by telephone in violation of Robert's Rules of Order. Specification 4. Failing to make any attempt to establish Parish Executive Committees for unorganized parishes as required of his office under the By-laws, leaving the work instead to be done at great personal effort and expense to the Executive Director, such work being outside the Director's contract, and causing considerable difficulties in negotiating agreeable payment terms for such contract. Specification 5. In the absence of established Parish Executive Committees, failing to take care that the duties assigned to these committees are carried out in their respective parishes, either by his own actions, or by the appointment of a parish director, organizer, or other member as the By-laws require. Charge 2. Conduct Unbecoming an Officer of the Libertarian Party of Louisiana. Specification 1. Failing to turn in his Affidavit of Acceptance form for filing as a Presidential Elector. Specification 2. Failing to turn in his Affidavit of Acceptance form, corrected version. Specification 3. Failing to communicate why said form was not turned in the first time in a timely manner. Specification 4. Failing to communicate why said form was not turned in at all the second time. Specification 5. Failing to display any concern for his tardiness in turning in these critical forms. Specification 6. Failing to display any interest in securing the forms before the legal deadline. Specification 7. Lack of concern for known deadlines affecting ballot access for the Libertarian Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. Specification 8. Causing the chair to go to great personal effort and expense to remedy the officer's failure to file required legal paperwork in a timely manner. Specification 9. Volunteering to be a co-director of a Presidential campaign for Louisiana, and subsequently failing to accomplish any task, attend any function, offer any assistance with any planning or coordination of events, and essentially holding the position in name only. Specification 10. Making false and baseless accusations of racism against a fellow state Central Committee member. Specification 11. Making an announcement for elective office in a public forum without advising the State Central Committee in advance, thereby raising questions among the general membership and the voting public with respect to the Libertarian Party's implied endorsement of his candidacy, and drawing their leadership into question accordingly. Specification 12. Failing to form an exploratory committee in advance of this public announcement, making the announcement without any established campaign committee, platform, or ready biography for prospective voters and media. Specification 13. Failing to provide any such platform or biographical statement upon the request of prospective voters, Officers and other party members. Specification 14. Filing for elective office in 2011 and failing to duly answer media inquiries, creating a poor impression on voters and media of the Libertarian Party, its candidates, and its leadership. Charge 3. Unethical Conduct Specification 1. Attempting to get reimbursed for the notarizing of an Affidavit of Acceptance form in 2008, such cost, incidental to being a candidate for elective office, being only legally payable by the candidate or a candidate's committee, and which cannot be paid by the Party. Specification 2. Attending a 2009 Libertarian State Leadership Alliance conference, in the Chairman's proxy, at Party expense, for the purpose of learning more about the new CiviCRM online database system, but instead, using the opportunity to pitch a dubious fundraising scheme to other state chairs in concert with a personal business partner who made the trip, also at Party expense. Specification 3. Soliciting the LPL to enter into an expensive and poorly worded contract to raise funds for the Party through a 3rd party via the selling of medical information devices, this being the same scheme pitched at the aforementioned conference, and one in which he has personal connections to the 3rd party which would profit from the contract. Specification 4. Attempting to get reimbursed for travel expenses as a condition of fulfilling duties of his office. (traveling to a and from State Central Committee meetings) Specification 5. Seeking reimbursement for travel and lodging to attend the NAACP 2012 convention as a “liaison” to that organization and representative of the Party. Specification 6. Soliciting the Party and a Congressional candidate to use his personal business services at expense to the Party and the Candidate. Specification 7. Using a Strategic Planning Committee meeting to solicit the party again to use these same services. Specification 8. Using a Strategic Planning Committee meeting to solicit volunteers and support from party activists and officers for his campaign for elective office, rather than using the meeting to plan strategy for the Party. Specification 9. Attempting to involve the Party in an electronic communications scheme which would expose its contact list to his personal business interests. Specification 10. Has on numerous occasions, solicited interest in holding media events, concerts, festivals et cetera, which would not in any way be publicly linked to the Party, but which would be partly or entirely funded by the Party, in exchange for a share of the proceeds of such events, if any. In all of these events, personal friends and himself, were to also profit. Specification 11. Attempting to divert discussion at a State Central Committee meeting concerning online donation logistics towards using his personal contacts or himself as “bundlers” for Party funds. Specification 12. Attempting to attend a private fundraiser for a Presidential Campaign without making a required donation and while inviting a guest who also would not make a required donation, thus each of them partaking of access to the candidate and party activists and of food and drink provided, without contribution. This notice is given by order of the By-laws of the Libertarian Party of Louisiana, Article 15 § 2. The session proceedings will be held strictly according to Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised, in particular, §61 Disciplinary Procedures, for the protection of the Party and the fairness of the accused. A committee to be appointed by the Chairman, shall investigate these charges and specifications, and present these charges along with any witnesses or evidence to the Committee for its consideration. A full briefing on the exact flow of the proceedings, and the rights and responsibilities of all involved, shall be issued along with the final agenda. Per §61 of Robert's Rules of Order, Mr. Lewis' membership privileges (excepting those pertaining to these judicial proceedings), and thus his status as an officer of the Party, are suspended until the conclusion of the trial.
