'''EIGHT STATES' AFFILATIONS APPROVED''' | '''EIGHT STATES' AFFILATIONS APPROVED''' | ||
Affiliation petitions submitted by state LPs in Missouri, and Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio and Pennsylvania were accepted, bringing the total of recognized state LP affiliates to 15, up from 8 prior to the ExecComm meeting (Michigan was already recognized, but submitted a petition any how). A petition from Arizona was rejected, after evidence was presented that there were irregularities in that state's temporary organization. A petition from Wisconsin was approved subject to resubmission with signatures, rather than typed names. A motion by some California LP members to remove recognition from the currently recognized organization, headed by Alan Coon, and accept a petition from their group instead, was rejected. | Affiliation petitions submitted by state LPs in [[Libertarian Party of Missouri|Missouri]], and [[Libertarian Party of Colorado|Colorado]], [[Libertarian Party of Michigan|Michigan]], [[Libertarian Party of Minnesota|Minnesota]], [[Libertarian Party of New Jersey|New Jersey]], [[Libertarian Party of New Mexico|New Mexico]], [[Libertarian Party of Ohio|Ohio]] and [[Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania|Pennsylvania]] were accepted, bringing the total of recognized state LP affiliates to 15, up from 8 prior to the ExecComm meeting (Michigan was already recognized, but submitted a petition any how).

It was voted that in the future, petitions for affiliation cannot be submitted until a state convention has been held, at which the National LP Statement of Principles is endorsed, officers elected, and a state Constitution and By-Laws adopted. This will hopefully eliminate problems of the type which arose in the Arizona and California situations. | It was voted that in the future, petitions for affiliation cannot be submitted until a state convention has been held, at which the National LP Statement of Principles is endorsed, officers elected, and a state Constitution and By-Laws adopted.
