On December 18, a lengthy hearing was held in Texas state court in the case Texas Reform Party v Reform Party of the USA, Dallas County district court, 07-9217. This case had been filed in September 2007 by the Charles Foster faction of the national Reform Party, and that faction had earlier won an injunction, prohibiting the Rodney Martin faction from holding itself out as the true national Reform Party. After the December 18 hearing, the judge dissolved that injunction.
The case is still alive, and is set for a trial in August 2008.
Shawn O’Hara/ Rodney Martin faction of the Reform Party USA will be holding a National Convention at 1708 “H” Street, Unit #6, Sacramento [CAlifornia 94819] on Saturday December 29th and Sunday December 30th.
The next national chair, and de facto host, California State Chair John Blare, is available at jblare@earthlink
I have read all the court documents and it seems clear that in each case the courts have ruled that the leadership of the Reform Party has been decided. With that said, I find it unique that the federal government has forbidden the Reform Party from paying to defend itself in all these harrassment suits so its Officers, i.e. Chairman Martin has had to defen pro se in all, and has won.
That gives me a strong indication that the facts and the merits are on his side. I also have been told that Mr. O’Hara is no longer a member of the Reform Party.
P.S. to Mr. Synder, how can you predict the outcome of the upcomming Reform Party national convention? Does the letters PhD, after your name man (Piled Higher and Deeper)
“I also have been told that Mr. O’Hara is no longer a member of the Reform Party.”
Shawn kept his perfect record intact on Nov. 6, losing his umpteenth election, this time as the Democratic nominee for state treasurer. Promising snow cone stands for rest stops, Shawn only garnered 38% or 39%.
It was recently announced that O’Hara will head Unity08 in Mississippi. I keep wondering when he’ll try the Libertarians.
This is great news. I see the good guys are winning.
