California AIP Nominates Tom Hoefling

1. Don Grundmann August 16, 2012

   Timothy – All Constitution Party supporters should register with the Constitution Party. All AIP registered voters should do the same as with being under the control of Robinson and Seidenberg it is effectively a branch of the Southern Poverty Law Center. It is meant to follow the template of Alan Keyes, Tom Hoefling, Gary Kreep, and the entire Criminal Syndicate which they serve – act conservative so that you can draw in tons of fund raising money from unsuspecting and unknowing patriots who do not know how totally corrupt to the bone that you are. That way you can pay for your Tahitian vacations while draining the energy of the conservative movement in order to keep it from opposing your New World Order ” moderate ” ( anti-American ) handlers and controllers.

   Their entire purpose is to be a cancer within the conservative movement so that they can destroy it from within.

   We must inform the AIP registered voters of the state that the party is now controlled by the Robinson Crime Syndicate; those who deliberately filed fake documents with the state; i.e; committed the crime of fraud; as I have documented at TheCorruptionOfAlanKeyes.blogspot.com.

   We will gain ballot status for the Constitution Party in California.

   Don J. Grundmann, D.C. Chairman Constitution Party of California

   Okay but the Secretary of State has ruled in favor of Markham Robinson. What should Constitution Party supporters in California do? Should they register with AIP and attempt to re-capture the party? Should they register with the Constitution Party of California? Should they try to register the name Independent American Party?
3. Don Grundmann August 15, 2012

   It is perfectly understandable that the Robinson Crime Syndicate which controls the AIP should choose a fellow moral criminal, Tom Hoefling, as their Presidential candidate since he is a liar, coward, traitor and total fake just like his fellow Syndicate members. I have documented the criminality of all of them at TheCorruptionOfAlanKeys.blogspot.com.

   The entire reason for his choice was to directly and in person deny the galactically more qualified Virgil Goode the nomination to his face in order to satisfy the god-imitator Mark Robinson by fulfilling his ego glorification of hurting the CP.

   Don J. Grundmann, D.C. the last legally elected Chairman of the AIP, still its legal Chairman, and also the Chairman of the Constitution Party of California

   Unfortunately there’s a state law in Cali that says a political party cannot have a name that sounds similiar to a already established and ballot qualified party. Mr. Winger would know the details on that.
5. Paulie August 14, 2012

   Is there any law against the IAP and AIP both being on the California ballot?
6. Cody Quirk August 14, 2012

   He also is a million-fold times more mentally competent then you, Don.
7. paulie August 13, 2012

   He lived in California for decades and was an AIP member for many years. He’s been active with the Constitution Party for quite a while.

   Richard Winger’s and Tom Yager’s comments shed light on the crux of the problem. Richard is exactly right- after Prop. 14, there is no way, under existing conditions, to change state leadership of the AIP. Those in control of the AIP (Seidenberg and Robinson) have been granted (though Prop.14) a lifetime political franchise and may operate it as a soviet style politburo and they do just that.

   In 2010, the plan of the party regulars was to win the party back through the AIP Primary, just as the Shearer faction took back the party from the Montgomery Mafia in 1970. In the 2010 primary, led by the magnificent campaign of Chelene Nightingale, we ran more candidates for various partisan offices than at any time since 1978. Seidenberg’s group ran just three candidates–two for statewide office and one for Congress. [One must first understand that under the Election Code the AIP (prior to top two) was organized through the partisan primary. Each nominee was a delegate. Where there was not a nominee either the state committee or the county committee (depending on the office) was empowered to fill vacancies by appointment. Delegates were allowed to appoint three members to the state central committee and so forth.]

   In the 2010 AIP primary, we elected enough nominee delegates and gained control of enough counties–including the all important county of Los Angeles–to easily control any fairly called and run state convention and state central committee meeting. Unfortunately, there was an additional problem. At some point in time over the years a completely anomoulous and unnoticed change in the election code was made which allowed the the AIP state convention to be called as early as the weekend after the primary election…in early June. The problem with this is that the nominee delegates are not certified until July!! The same is true with the new Central Committees who historically filled many vacancies by appointment. And, of course, this certainly meant that there was no time for nominee or vacany delegates to be able to submit their appointments to the state central committee so as to be able to attend the state central committee organizational meeting (held the day after the State Convention). This, of course, creates a ludicrous situation if the state convention and state organizationally meeting is called for June.

   Naturally, Seidenberg seized upon this annomoly and called the state convention for June and contended that none of the newly elected delegates were yet certified and could not participate…which left him and Robinson in control of the state convention. Again, the court refused to get involved to protect the rights of the newly elected nominee delegates. A few of our properly elected nominees (delegates) did appear at their “convention” (which as usual was attended by 10-12 people) and predictably, they were not allowed to be seated. All totally improper, but all totally according to form for these people.

   Even in light of the annomoulous election code provision allowing the convention to be called before delegates could be certified, we certainly could have continued to consolidate our gains and win the party back by 2012, but for the enactment of Prop. 14.
   Prop. 14 did away with the partisan primary and destroyed the previous mechanism (briefly explained above) for organizing the state central committee. In the aftermath of Prop.14, those in control of the state party (and here we are talking about two people) can do anything they want to do–completely without concern for the wishes of the 400,000 plus registered AIP voters– and they have done just that.

   We have remained silent in recent months because we had hoped to afford Virgil Goode, a good, decent and honorable man, every fair chance to win the AIP nomination and be on the ballot in California. We hoped they would at least do the right thing in terms of the Presidential nomination so that they could be part of a meaningful national campaign. Obviously, they don’t care about that. Despite their continuous efforts to make sure that Congressman Goode did attend their “convention” (Seidenberg was constantly calling me to make sure that Virgil knew all the details concerning the event) it is clear that the fix was in and that Virgil Goode never had any chance whatsoever for the nomination. This was simply their pitiful and insulting attempt to express their spiteful attitude toward the Constitution Party. Disgusting.

   I would add that it is my information that 6 voting delegates were were present at this so-called “convention” and that 14 proxies were “voted.” The California Election Code has always prohibited the use of proxies at the state convention (though they have always been allowed the next day at the state central committee organizational meeting).

   Well, over time, I am sure the truth will come out–including the involvement of key Republican players (personal friends and business associates of Mark Seidenberg) and of the extreme negligence (at least) of the office of Secretary of State Debra Bowen, in facilitating the hijacking of the AIP in 2008.

   There is one thing people must realize: This hijacking was not the result of any “factional dispute” (in 1968-1970 there were two real factions). Here, a mere handful of people, and that is being generous, were recognized as the state leadership at the expense of the hundreds of people who had worked in the party and built it for nearly forty years. That is the real tragedy of the situation.

   With all tragedies, there is always some humor that comes out of it. Over the past year, Mark Seidenberg told me that he thought the Secretary of State was trying to “destroy the American Independent Party.” I didn’t say anything in response, but I couldn’t help laughing to myself and thinking, “Yes, Mark, and your very first clue should have been when she recognized you people as the AIP ‘state leadership’.”

    I guess the AIP wanted a Hoe-fling

    Don’t know, but POlitics1.com says

    Tom Hoefling (Iowa)
    Presidential Nominee

    J.D. Ellis (Tennessee)
    Vice Presidential Nominee
12. Joe Moeller August 12, 2012

    Who did the AIP nominate for VP?
13. NewFederalist August 12, 2012

    This turn of events is really devastating to the CP. With almost no hope of ever regaining the leadership of the AIP due to insane CA election laws and very little hope of gaining ballot access under the CP brand, just why would anyone want the CP nomination in the future? Without CA and TX it just doesn’t add up.
14. William Saturn August 11, 2012

    Based on personal experience, for willingness to talk with alternative media, I give Goode an A+, Hoefling gets a C-.
15. Catholic Trotskyist August 11, 2012

    This is pathetic. They should have nominated Goode. Hoefling will definitely get less votes than Keyes. He has practically zero name recognition whereas Keyes had some, especially among long-time Republicans. People on the alternative right also particularly have negative opinions of Hoefling.
16. David August 11, 2012

    So what will the vote totals bein November. If the AIP has over 400,000 people registered, will see less votes then Keyes got last time or more votes. 40,000 maybe?
