Intra-Party Dispute in American Independent Party California Case has June 8 Hearing

A California Superior Court in Fairfield, Solano County, will hold a hearing on Tuesday morning on June 8, in King v Robinson, 033119. This is the lawsuit filed in March 2009 over the identity of the state officers of the American Independent Party. The activists in that party who support the national Constitution Party are seeking an injunction to prevent the other side from holding the party’s state convention until after the results of the June 8 primary are known.

California is one of the states in which primary elections help determine who a party’s officers are. In the code section covering the American Independent Party, the law says the party’s nominees for public office are automatically on the state central committee. Also, those nominees for public office may appoint other members to the State Central Committee. The AIP legal structure also provides for election of county central committees, but county central committee members are not automatically on the state central committee, as they are for California’s other ballot-qualified minor parties.

  1. Richard Winger,

    Bottom line is one James King who has not been on the AIP State Central Committee, since September 2, 2008 is
    asking I California Court to cancel the State Convention
    of the American Independent Party by an exparty hearing via and injunction.

    Will Judge Wm. C. Harrison of the 2nd Department of the
    Solano Superior Court in Fairfield, CA order a cancelation of a Convention designated by the American
    Independent Party State Central Committee. I can not
    believe Judge Harrison would violate the First Amendment
    Right of Assembly of the delegates of the AIP.

    The AIP is a qualified political party in California. The designation of the location can meet at any Saturday
    in one of the 25 communities in Sacramento County, on or
    after June 12, 2010. Judge Harrison lacks jurisdiction
    to cancel a convention in Sacramento County.

    King is such a fool, he can not even figure out that a
    Solano County Judge has no jurisdiction to control a
    convention in Sacramento County community.

    Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman, American Independent Party, affiliated with the America’s Independent Party of Fenton, Michigan since June 27,
    2008.

    = They’re not trying to get it cancelled, only to postpone it until the complete results of the Primary Election are out, that is all.

    Read the article again Mark.

  3. Cody Quirk,

    The State of California by law lets the AIP pick its own date as early as June 12, 2010 with the only condition as to starting time, viz., 10 a.m.,
    pick only same one of the 25 community of Sactamento to hold both the Convention and the organization meeting.

    What Jim King is doing is he does not want the State Central Committee to do its own setting the
    date. He want a court to set the date and take away the State Central Committee First Amendment
    Right to pick the date with our parties chairman.
    At the same time he wants to deprive Mr. Robert Lauten’s voting right for being a nominee delegate
    in 2008.

    Note James King has not been on the AIP State Central Committee since September 2, 2008.

    Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman, American
    Independent Party, affiliated with the America’s Independent Party since June 27, 2008

  4. The pro constitution party side (baldwin faction) Want to have the meeting “after” the primary..because they feel that If their Candidate “Chelene Nightingale for gover.) wins the primary they will have more clout to try to oust the current AIP leadership…. then they WILL be in power…which is the only reason they have ran so many under the AIP banner. Its very obvious…BUT, here in CA looks like prop. 14 will pass and the Pro baldwin faction will really have NO control over parties…as prop. 14 will make third parties less important for candidates that want ot run. INDIVIDUALS that want to run…have more power over their own destiny of running….inner party fighting OVER WHO controls the party and who they nominate will be banished…IF THIRD party believers CAN’T hack making it in the TOP two tier…then they better get off their duffs and try to build a bigger base to run from. If you want to be in parties that have nominal support…then whine that ‘WE DONT HAVE A CHANCE” maybe you shoudl become more moderate in views. I feel that most of those in 3rd parties like being in the minority and like to feel like the underdog and like to be the misunderstood. (it starts in childhood) it gains them an audience…

  5. maybe you shoudl become more moderate in views.

    = Maybe you should spell better.

  6. Uptight ?????? Down right false! Spell Mister Quirk’s name CORRECTLY and he will unethically try to keep the good guys off with an inappropriate ‘Spell my name right’ Quirk claims to be the victim of anti LSD bias and descrimination —— by Mormons!

  7. the name cody…reminds me of some little kid…surely that can’t be your real name…..:)

  8. But “Riverside Politics” is YOUR real name? Only cowards post without using their real name.

  9. waa waa I’m hurt,.,,, not. Buh bye third party nonsense….yes prop 14!!! Vote today!!

    The law firm of Gary Kreep won again against the Brewtown lawyers. King lost no TRO hearing.

    Sincerely, Mark Seidenberg, Vice Chairman, American
    Independent Party

  11. That is quite intriguing. It presented me a number of ideas and I’ll be posting them on my blog eventually. I’m bookmarking your site and I’ll be back. Thank you again!
