To the Republican Party of Los Angeles County By-Laws Committee:
On behalf of the Beach Cities Republicans, we find any allegations against BCR spurious and unfounded.
As I had discussed with Executive Director Jason Maruca and former
Chairman Mark Vafiades, your upset about one libertarian candidate speaking at
our club is selective enforcement.
Previous BCR President David Hadley had permitted independent candidates
to speak, as did Evan Chase.
And no action was taken against them.
Furthermore, the state by-laws and the county by-laws do NOT prohibit
me from informing members--and the public--about unethical actions of the
county party.
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution is inviolable,
and supersedes county partisan organizations.
You have neglected to bear in mind that AD-66 Chairwoman Janice Webb attempted to
pressure me to cancel a meeting, then called my work to pressure my boss to
pressure me. Those actions are illegal, a violation of California Labor Codes.
Also, the RPLAC By-Laws committee violated the county by-laws with
their attempt to pressure me to resign without a hearing or a presentation of
evidence against me or the club. The hasty process from the By-Laws committee
to rule BCR in violation -- which had occurred on November 7th (?)--was in fact
acting out of compliance with RPLAC by-laws.
The By-Laws Committee Chairman Gary Aminoff refused to provide written
information or documentation of complaints against me and the BCR board or the
club.
AD-66 Central Committee Chairwoman Webb also failed to inform a member of
the AD-66, BCR Vice-President Omar Navarro, about the change in location of the
November 21 AD Central Committee meeting. I have filed at least two complaints
about this matter, and the By-Laws committee refused to do anything about.
There are further allegations that Omar Navarro was not permitted to enter the
December 10, 2016 reorganization meeting.
We the Board of BCR find that RPLAC has actually been in violation of
its own by-laws against its own members. Such behavior from county leadership
has in fact put the party in a negative light, and has discouraged individual
citizens from participating more actively.
We find it further very offensive that you have sent an email--poorly
worded with spelling errors and a lack of signature and date--to only one
member of the BCR Board when three other members should have been informed of
this By-Laws Committee meeting.
The actions of RPLAC Leadership are discriminatory and abhorrent.
Furthermore, for the By-Laws Committee to refuse to hold a hearing and
permit members of the BCR board -- in a designated location -- is suspect and
also a violation of RPLAC By-Laws. Other members of the Beach Cities
Republicans have every right to hear and respond to allegations against them,
however unfounded and just those allegations may be
We will be filing further complaints to the state leadership of the CA
GOP as well.
We demand a location where a member of the BCR Board can attend and
directly face the accusers and accusations against them.
Please respond by Monday, January 10, 5:00pm
Sincerely,
The Beach Cities Republicans Board
