==Radical Caucus==
Caryn Ann has been a public face for the [[Libertarian Party Radical Caucus|Radical Caucus]] and was a key mover in its formal organization prior to the [[National Convention 2016|2016 National Convention]].  She was its Colorado State Coordinator from 2016-2017.  She no longer maintains membership in any caucus believing that Party officers need to steer clear from any appearance of factionalism.  She remains active in the community groups for both the [[Libertarian Party Radical Caucus|Radical Caucus]] and the [[Libertarian Party Mises Caucus|Mises Caucus]] but has been increasingly vocal about the decline and ineffectiveness of the Radical Caucus.
In November 2021, she re-joined the Caucus with an aim of bringing it back to its original radical focus and becoming effective.  She has declared her primary caucus affiliation, however, is with the [[Libertarian Party Mises Caucus]] due to the fact that they are very effective and have had her back in various LNC controversies where the Radical Caucus did not currently or in the past.
==Mises Caucus==
Though not a member until September 2021, Caryn Ann had been working closely with the [[Libertarian Party Mises Caucus]] admiring their work ethic and accomplishments.  She joined in September 2021 after realizing that in a time of irrational factionalism, merely being friendly brands you as a member and a target, so she might as well join and show support to those who have supported her.  Further, the hostility in the Party in 2021 made being a "lone wolf" very risky and open to vulnerability.

==Notorious Nine==
In the time leading up the [[National Convention 2020]], there was a split in the LNC concerning the authority of the LNC to unilaterally set online-only conventions and to declare all delegates (both online and in-person) as credentialled in a hybrid convention due to the [[COVID 19]] pandemic.  This split coalesced around an unlikely group of allies that the then-chair [[Nicholas Sarwark]] called the "[[Notorious Nine]]" (though in reality it was ten people) when critiquing opposition to his points of view on the LNC.  While the term was not meant to be flattering, the ten persons took it as a badge of honor as all sides involved felt they were doing the right thing.  The Notorious Nine were vindicated by the second sitting of the [[National Convention 2020]] wherein the LNC overreach in usurping the delegates' right to decide whether or not a hybrid convention would be permitted was soundly rebuked.  The delegates did approve the hybrid convention but wanted to be clear that it was their decision to make and to make sure no future LNC made the same mistake.  Many LNC members on the other side of the issue candidly told Harlos that she was in hindsight right on this issue.  Despite a coordinated campaign to unseat the Notorious Nine, the majority of them, including Harlos, were re-elected with the general feeling being that they acted with integrity, even by those who disagreed at the time.  Under the new leadership of 2020-2022 chair [[Joseph Bishop-Henchman]] that rift was quickly healed.

''See:'' [[In re: The Suspension of Caryn Ann Harlos - LNC Secretary-in-Exile]]
''See:'' [[In re: The Suspension of Caryn Ann Harlos - LNC Secretary-in-Exile]]


At the [[National Convention 2022]], she was re-elected with over 70% of the vote and the delegates ruled that her prior removal was null and void due to the denial of basic due process rights to an officer and therefore a continuing breach of the bylaws and that she never ceased to be LNC Secretary.

==2024 Attempted (outcome undetermined) From the Libertarian National Committee==
Once Harlos departed from the Mises Caucus (according to her account), and opposed their support including allegedly by the Party Chair, retaliatory events unfolded.  Harlos' position is to do always do what she feels is right despite costs of whom she though were friends and describes her time in the Caucus as cult-like (leadership, not rank and file) which the Caucus disputes strongly.  She describes what was sold as single issue coalitions as a wholesale selling out of the Party to Republican interests.

Caryn Ann Harlos is the current Libertarian Party National Secretary (LNC terms 2018-2020, 2020-2022, and 2022-2024) and former Region 1 Representative on the Libertarian National Committee. She is also the two-term Chair of the Libertarian Party Preservation Committee, National Convention 2022 interim Platform Committee Chair, National Convention 2020 Platform Committee Chair, National Convention 2018 Platform Committee Chair, former Communications Director for the Libertarian Party of Colorado, and former Colorado State Coordinator with the Libertarian Party Radical Caucus. She is also a Life Member of the Libertarian Party. She is married to Wayne Harlos who is the former and current chair of the Libertarian Party of Colorado and the current four-term chair of the Libertarian Party of Douglas County which they helped revive in 2014 after over a decade of dormancy. Beginning in October 2021, Caryn Ann became a regular Saturday host on a radio program airing on KHNC 1360 in Weld County, Colorado.[1]

Ideology

Caryn Ann is an ideological anarchist/voluntaryist who has become distinguished for presentations on the Dallas Accord and the Statement of Principles. She is also widely known as a pro-life Libertarian having authored "Abortion and the Libertarian Conscience."[2] though has since changed her mind on the desirability of the deletion of the abortion plank, now believing that it was best to have remained as the plank said nothing about rights, but practically recognized this is an issue that is best dealt with by culture changes to value life rather than government force. She is also a pacifist, but this is for religious, rather than political, reasons. She is politically involved to bring about peaceful change and believes in a future where everyone can have what they want - those who voluntarily want a lot of government can have it, and those that don't, aren't forced to.

She has done multiple presentations about Libertarian anarchy:

"Ballot Selfie" Lawsuit

On local TV news coverage of "ballot selfie" lawsuit

In 2016, Caryn Ann and several other defendants sued the Colorado Secretary of State, State Attorney, and Denver Attorney General over a Colorado statute forbidding the disclosure of the contents of one's own ballot.[5] This came in the wake of multiple similar suits, including a successful overturning of a similar law in New Hampshire.[6] View a copy of the Complaint and the Order for Injunctive Relief as well as a copy of the Colorado statute that was overturned.


Close the Back Door

At the 2018 national convention in New Orleans, Caryn Ann successfully organized an initiative to protect the Statement of Principles.

Whistleblower Activities

Threats, Soft Sexism, Wokeism

The National Party's Tepid Response to the COVID Regime

Caryn Ann was stridently vocal about what she and others saw to be a tepid-at-best response of the national Party to the depredations on human rights in response to COVID. When even the tame suggestion of forming an advisory committee was shot down, she said that if the national Party can't respond to this issue, it might as well disband as useless.

New Hampshire Coup Attempt

NH-2021 Coup-Meme.jpg

Caryn Ann was prominent in bringing the issues in the Attempted Coup June 2021 of the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire to light to general Party membership after which she was the subject of several attempts by other LNC members to remove her from the LNC which she considers to be retaliation against a whistleblower - particularly considering her comments to the LNC after meeting adjournment condemning their inaction. During that time, she received more messages of support from Party members since the time that the "Contact the LNC" form was put on the website in 2018. This chain of events led to her receiving a veritable's hero's welcome at Porcfest and an invitation to a speaking spot on bold Libertarian messaging.

Delaware Coup

And like with New Hampshire, she exposed that the LNC was utterly incapable of handling this when presented, see Libertarian Party of Delaware Leadership Controversy 2021

Massachusetts Purge

2021 Suspension From the Libertarian National Committee (Later Determined to be Null and Void)

See: In re: The Suspension of Caryn Ann Harlos - LNC Secretary-in-Exile

At the National Convention 2022, she was re-elected with over 70% of the vote and the delegates ruled that her prior removal was null and void due to the denial of basic due process rights to an officer and therefore a continuing breach of the bylaws and that she never ceased to be LNC Secretary.

2024 Attempted (outcome undetermined) From the Libertarian National Committee

Once Harlos departed from the Mises Caucus (according to her account), and opposed their support including allegedly by the Party Chair, retaliatory events unfolded. Harlos' position is to do always do what she feels is right despite costs of whom she though were friends and describes her time in the Caucus as cult-like (leadership, not rank and file) which the Caucus disputes strongly. She describes what was sold as single issue coalitions as a wholesale selling out of the Party to Republican interests.

Featured Guest Convention Appearances

Caryn Ann delivered a historical presentation and/or keynotes [7] on the Statement of Principles and the Dallas Accord at many of these conventions. She has also participated in panel discussions and spoke as national Party membership recruiter.

Video Channels and Podcast

Caryn Ann has two YouTube channels Pink Flame of Liberty, the Cult of RONR The Cult of RONR, and formerly hosted the Big L Podcast. The Cult of RONR was mentioned in the National Parliamentarian.

Tutorials

Caryn Ann also creates tutorials on how to participate in various Libertarian Party activities.

Radio Show Hostess

Beginning October 2021 and ending about one year later, Caryn Ann became host of a Saturday afternoon radio show on 1360 KHNC in Weld County, Colorado. The show bears the same name as her YouTube Channel, Pink Flame of Liberty. She has vowed to use any platform she has to continue to expose corruption, if it happens, in the Libertarian Party, proving the effectiveness of the Streisand Effect following her suspension.

LNC Involvement

In 2015, Caryn Ann was inspired to get involved on a national level after researching and becoming deeply interested in the schism that then existed in Oregon between the Libertarian Party of Oregon and the PAC also calling itself the Libertarian Party of Oregon while not the officially recognized affiliate. She became convinced that the LNC had grossly overstepped its authority and wanted to protect the Libertarian Party of Colorado from ever suffering a similar fate and thus ran and won the race for Region 1 Representative at the National Convention 2016 against incumbent Norm Olsen. She considers bringing the Libertarian Party of Oregon into Region 1 at the end of her term one of her proudest moments of that term and remains fiercely protective of that affiliate and disturbed by what had happened to them. Her commitment to limiting the power of the LNC and fidelity to the Bylaws has remained a constant theme of her LNC involvement.

2016 Run for Region 1 Representative

Caryn Ann ran for Region 1 representative at the National Convention 2016 and won in a close three-way race against incumbent Norm Olsen and fellow challenger M Carling. Steven Nielson won Region 1 Alternate. Caryn Ann's first motion as Region 1 alternate was to preserve and protect LPedia. By the end of this term, the Historical Preservation Committee was set up and the records archive moved to Parker Colorado under her direction.


2017 Appointment to Platform Committee

At the LNC Meeting on April 15017, 2017, Caryn Ann was appointed to the Platform Committee for the 2018 Convention. In the first round of voting there was a 4-way tie between Adam Bates, Aaron Starr, Joe Henchman, and Caryn Ann Harlos. Those four were the only ones included in the second round which then had a tie between Aaron Starr and Caryn Harlos at 9 votes each (and a majority). In round three of voting Aaron Starr and Caryn Ann Harlos each received 8 votes, and Adam Bates received 6 votes. For the next round, the rules were suspended to allow only one vote rather than approval voting. In round four, no one received a majority with Aaron Starr receiving 8 votes, Caryn Ann Harlos receiving 6 votes, and Adam Bates received 3 votes. A motion to suspend the rules to appoint Aaron Starr failed and voting went to another round. In the fifth round, no candidate received a majority with Arron Starr receiving 6 votes, Caryn Ann Harlos receiving 8 votes, and Adam Bates receiving 2 votes. In round 6, Aaron Starr and Caryn Ann Harlos each received 8 votes, and Adam Bates received 1 vote. The rules suspended to have the results determined by a coin flip between Aaron Starr and Caryn Ann Harlos. The minutes describe the results as follows:

Using a New Jersey quarter which Mr. Redpath purportedly obtained from The Sopranos on his last visit, Mr. McKnight conducted the coin toss, and Ms. Harlos called the “New Jersey / tails” side of the coin. Ms. Harlos won the coin toss, thus she was appointed to the fifth position on the Platform Committee, and Mr. Starr was appointed as an alternate.

In February 2018, Caryn Ann and Alicia Mattson both sought the Platform Committee Chair position. The results came in as follow:

Voting for Mattson: Carling, Clift, Craig, DiBenedetto, Mattson, Robson, Van Horn

Voting for Harlos: Cholko, Fulner, Harlos, Knapp, Longstreth, Morris, Nanna, Perry, Rosenbeck, Scheetz, Watts

Express abstentions: Fockler, Miron

With 11 votes out of 18 ballots cast, Caryn Ann Harlos is elected as committee chair, having received a majority vote.

New Jersey has remained very kind to Caryn Ann, overwhelmingly voting for her re-election to LNC Secretary in 2020.

2018 Run for LNC Secretary

On February 28, 2018, Caryn Ann announced her run for LNC Secretary[80] and launched her campaign website in March 2018.[81]. Her campaign is managed by Sarah Daggers. She won against incumbent Alicia Mattson and fellow challenger Jeff Wood on the first ballot with 56.621% of the votes. Caryn Ann's campaign was run with zero negative campaigning and in fact, she was cited by Alicia Mattson in Mattson's campaign materials as someone who called Ms. Mattson "one of the best secretaries" she has ever worked with.

Popular Libertarian evangelist Larry Sharpe endorsed Caryn Ann for this position.

2020 Run for Re-election as LNC Secretary

At the second sitting of the National Convention 2020, Harlos won re-election to LNC Secretary on the first round with 51.80% of the vote again Evan McMahon (46.85%) and Dave Jones (8.31%). However, it is noted that there was a prior motion to suspend the rules for both the Vice-Chair and Secretary race to conduct both by approval voting and in one round only regardless if anyone received a majority. However, both Caryn Ann Harlos and Ken Moellman did win their races with a majority. Harlos credits her win to her dedication to stand up for the delegates who wanted an in-person convention in opposition to then-Chair Nicholas Sarwark as she had a very healthy majority of support from the in-person delegates despite both her and Evan being present in person while she had had only a slight lead with the remote delegates. Harlos believes this is due to misinformation that she did not support any remote attendance, which she did, and voted for it. In fact, less than fifteen delegates opposed remote person when the vote came up on the floor. Like Alicia Mattson last term, Mr. McMahon was a very competent and worthy competitor. Because two entirely different voting methods were used, it is impossible to statistically compare the two races, particularly since so many delegates reported voting for both Harlos and McMahon, and it is unknown who would have been chosen had they been only able to to choose one. In the same way, it is impossible to know what effect that late entrance of Dave Jones had and whether his votes included either Harlos or McMahon or were for him alone. [82] Mr. McMahon accepted her offer to be her unofficial Assistant Secretary, a role that she has been working on making something official and permanent, similar to the Assistant Treasurer. However, his life circumstances changes, and he could not assume that role.

Harlos produced an informational video for her re-election bid:

2022 Run for Re-Instatement as LNC Secretary

For more detail about this period of time and the voiding of the removal of Harlos, see In re: The Suspension of Caryn Ann Harlos - LNC Secretary-in-Exile. She raised approximately $20,000 in support.

Harlos was re-elected at the National Convention 2022 with %70.82 of the vote over the LNC's chosen interim replacement's %24.39 of the vote (694 votes v. 239 votes). Note: The two write-in "abstentions" should not have been counted so that the percentage of win was actually %70.96.

2024 Run for Re-Election as LNC Secretary

Harlos announced her re-election campaign on X|Twitter in December 2023.

Inclusion in 50th Anniversary Tribute Book to John Hospers

Caryn Ann has two essays in that book titled as follows:

  • Unearthing and Preserving . . .”
  • An Essentially Libertarian View of Abortion is Neither Conservative Nor Progressive

Notable Other Accomplishments

Caryn Ann is a paralegal with over twenty years of experience. She has also authored a book on Christian eschatology that had been used as a reference work in a class at Liberty University. She has appeared in radio shows and podcasts all over the world on this topic and was a guest lecturer at Appalachian State University. Caryn Ann has been involved in various other non-profit activist and service organizations including volunteering for a teen runaway and suicide hotline, regular head and assistant cook volunteer at Gold Coast Via de Cristo events, and served as Treasurer on the Gold Coast Via de Cristo Secretariat, as well as archivist of its banner collection spanning multiple decades. She has also been involved in street activism no matter where she was on the political spectrum at the time. Also, there *might* have been a double reference to Harlos and Fortnight on a 2018 episode of South Park. Considering the libertarian position of the creators, it is possible.[83]

Autism Advocacy

In May 2019, after some profound life struggles, Caryn Ann was diagnosed with high-functioning ASD (autism spectrum disorder, f/k/a/ Aspberger's Syndrom) which has sparked in interest (of course it has!) in ASD issues in the Libertarian Party and bullying surrounding same. Caryn Ann was also diagnosed as a young adult with Obsessive Compulsion Disorder which she puts to good use for liberty. After the state convention in 2019, she became involved in a group of members expressing dissatisfaction with the then present Colorado leadership. One of her main complaints was what she felt was ableist bigotry and bullying in response to her disclosure of her autism diagnosis. The Libertarian Party of Colorado has made no official comment but it can be assumed they would dispute her assertion. She and Mike Seebeck started an alternative discussion group at Libertarian Party of Colorado Uncensored for LPCO members who believe they were wrongly silenced. She noted that the intention was for the group to be temporary, to be archived when the controversies between the various sides are eventually resolved.

Kratom and Pain Patient Advocacy

Re-Legalize All Drugs

Caryn Ann speaks out regularly on how the "war on opioids" is victimizing pain patients and has been an advocate for kratom.[84]

  3. Once elected as LNC Secretary in 2018, Caryn Ann resigned from the Radical Caucus due to a personal position at the time that no national officers should be members of any caucus. She remains caucus-free with a philosophy of friendships with all, entangling alliance with none until her now-voided removal in September 2021. Part of the alleged evidence used against her was her friendliness with the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus, so she conditionally changed her position stating that when people were using bad faith tactics to isolate people friendly with caucuses, there is protection in numbers and loosely quoted Sansa Stark "The lone wolf dies, but the pack stays alive." Though not a member until September 2021, Caryn Ann had been working closely with the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus admiring their work ethic and accomplishments. She joined in September 2021 after realizing that in a time of irrational factionalism, merely being friendly brands you as a member and a target, so she might as well join and show support to those who have supported her. Further, the hostility in the Party in 2021 made being a "lone wolf" very risky and open to vulnerability. She joined the Libertarian Party Mises Caucus in November 2021 and re-joined the Libertarian Party Radical Caucus in February 2022.
