"And Mr. Verney, what is he doing? He's just mixing the Kool-Aid"... 08/06/00  BUCHANAN: A LIFE LONG GIFT FOR ORATORY .....Most people think about his sharp retorts and comments," lifelong friend Charles "Chick" Leasure said of the pugnacious political commentator and politician. "But I look back and think of other talks the eulogy at his mother's funeral, how he could talk to out-of-work sawmill workers on the campaign trail. You saw Pat's abilities to talk about those kind of topics, and that's what many people have missed... 08/06/00  ALL ABOARD THE WRECKING CREW FUNERAL TRAIN! .....No one else - any of the other candidates - have anything compared to us, maybe one delegate here or one there," said Buchanan, a former Republican. "So this battle ... should be over ... The only reason why it's not is that a few people are doing everything they can, not so much to build this party but simply to derail my nomination..." Don't worry Brigade, the only derailing that will be done is when Real Reformers give Verney and his pals a first class ticket to oblivion. The Wrecking Crew Funeral Train is pullin' into the Long Beach Station. All Aboard!... 08/06/00  DONOVAN FIRED! .....

Eight years of hard work should not end in a "Jonestown" like mass suicide for Americans looking to the Reform Party as a last hope. The "kool-aid" being offered to the longtime Party members is labeled "Hagelin" and "none of the above" and "National Primary." ... 08/06/00  REFORM PARTY PRINCIPLES, ISSUES, AND RESOLUTIONS ..... Hi, I think you might want to add this info I scooped up the Reform Principles from the Platform and the founding Principles. This will back up the fact that Mangia is a liar. "The Reform Party has one of its basic planks of diversity and respect and support for lesbians and gays as a basic principle, and all Americans for that matter...." - Jim Mangia 7/31/00 ... 08/06/00  THE CREW AND CLINTON ..... The Executive Committee is out of control. They are passing numerous Resolutions that are in complete opposition to the rules in the Reform Party Constitution.   Like Bill Clinton, they are issuing Executive Orders that subvert the Constitution. And will, if we permit them to stand, eventually tear apart the the Party. ... 08/06/00  PJB ROAD RALLIES - RING THE BELLS! ..... This is a GREAT idea -- and I know it works because we did something similar in 1992 for Perot and 1996 for Pat. We called them "Road Rallies" And they are a heckuva lot of FUN!... 08/06/00  CONSERVATIVES AND THE GOP - A DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP .....The Republican convention should be a wake up call for conservatives.

This is not a matter of being anti-Gay. I am anti-hypocrite and anti-manipulation. Jim Mangia is currently, and has from the beginning, used his position in the Party to promote his social agenda, yet he has done it "under the radar". View the video.

The Dallas meeting was not sufficiently attended by all duly elected members of the Executive Committee, therefore the action taken today has no effect on the primary balloting currently underway ... 08/01/00  BUCHANAN STILL RUNNING HARD .....The reasons -- and the words -- were vintage Buchanan. The Republican Party and its candidates, he said, were going soft, sacrificing long-held values, even diminishing the Constitution. According to Buchanan, both the Republican and Democratic parties had become "front groups for corporate power and special interests" ... 08/01/00  BUCHANAN LEAVES VOID IN GOP .....For the first time in 32 years, Pat Buchanan is not attending the Republican National Convention. He plans to head to the beach in Delaware for "some writing and thinking" - maybe even watching a little convention coverage on TV.   Establishment Republicans seemed relieved, though some conservatives say the absence of Buchanan, a Reform Party presidential candidate, leaves a void... 08/01/00  MY CHAT WITH EDSALL OF THE WASHINGTON POST ..... Is Thomas Edsall of the Washington Post just incompetent, or does he have an agenda of his own? Edsall is on my Brigade list, he also checks out my website. How do I know? He called me, hoping to find a racist, or better yet, an anti-semite lurking behind the Brigade website. Here is a recap of the phone call ... 08/01/00  FLORIDA -- VERY HOT UPDATE! ..... This will be THE most important event in FL this year -- next to winning the state for Pat in November! You are aware of all the nonsense from the Crew. In FL the Crew has hooked up with Hagelin. The question is: Will REAL REFORMERS in FL vote to keep the Crew in power? Or with they stand up for Real Reform and unite for victory in Long Beach? ALL FL Brigades MUST Attend this Convention. ... 08/01/00  LACC: CREW HOODWINKING VOTERS ..... The LACC endorses a Vote of No Confidence for National Secretary Jim Mangia, and requests the National Committee members on August 8th to recall and remove Mr. Mangia... Mangia's renegade actions have tainted the current July mail-in balloting by hoodwinking many would-be Buchanan voters to abstain ... 08/01/00  DONOVAN: SPINK RECALL ..... Let me also say that at first Robert Bevill did not want me to share Donna Donovan's response to his email on the recall of June Spink as it was embarrassing to his wife. I told him that as long as people are not aware of what Donovan is saying and doing behind the scenes, they will not see a reason to remove her from office. ... 08/1/00  QUOTES BY PAT BUCHANAN AND OTHERS ON THE NEW WORLD ORDER ..... If Congress can strangle this snake in its crib, it could prove a decisive battle in a second war of American independence, to recapture U.S. sovereignty from faceless global bureaucrats who view our country as but a vast, rich province to be plundered and looted on behalf of their New World Order..... Whether it be foreign aid, or free trade, intervention or not, what is imperative is that only Americans decide America's destiny. " 08/01/00  PHILADELPHIA PLATFORM: PRETTY IN PINK ..... Pat Buchanan’s commitment to limited government, traditional morality, and American sovereignty takes up the bold banner dropped by the GOP... The Reform Party Platform draws clear distinctions on trade, foreign policy, and political reform, and PJB’s upcoming statement of principle promises uncompromising stands on social issues. This is a platform worthy of a movement.... 07/31/00  WASHINGTON POST COLUMNIST EDSALL CONTINUES TO PROMOTE CREW SPIN DESPITE OFFICIAL RELEASES FROM PARTY CHAIRMAN ..... The Reform Party's executive committee last night voted to disqualify the candidacy of Patrick J. Buchanan... 07/31/00  BAY BUCHANAN SAYS BUCHANAN WILL WIN RP NOMINATION IF RULES ARE FOLLOWED ..... Members of the party's executive committee voted 7-to-0 Saturday night to toss Buchanan off the ballot. But party chairman Gerald Moan said the action was illegitimate because two of the seven are no longer committee members, and without them there was no quorum...Buchanan said his opponents pulled off a hoax "and everybody went for the bait." ... "All they can hope to do is derail the nomination and put it in court," he added... "If fairness and objectivity are going to rule the day, Pat Buchanan will be the nominee of this party," said Bay Buchanan, the candidate's sister and national co-chair of his campaign. "We have won it if they play by the rules" ... 07/30/00  MCLAUGHLIN: CREW IS OUT OF CONTROL ....."The National Secretary is responsible for maintaining the list of National Committee Members. He is a "scribe" and nothing more. He has no power to determine who is a member of the National Committee..... I call upon ALL National Committee Members in every state to attend the August 8 National Committee Meeting in Long Beach and rein in this out of control Executive Committee" ... 07/30/00  WEST VIRGINIA RP RELEASE: NC CORP PERPETUATES "MEDIA HOAX" ..... Saturday in Dallas, TX, members of an obscure North Carolina corporation, calling itself the "Reform Leadership Council, Inc.", issued a "media hoax" claiming that on their own they had 'disqualified' presidential candidate Patrick Buchanan from the Reform Party nomination. ... 07/30/00  CREW HAS GONE TOO FAR ..... The article does not mention that two of the seven members had been removed from office, or that a quorum was not present, or that it was not an official meeting...  As a consequence of the Verney/Mangia Great Media Hoax, thousands of otherwise likely voters will not send in their ballots. With this stunt, Verney and Mangia have fatally corrupted the national primary vote. ... 07/30/00  HOTTER! FROM CEDRIC SCOFIELD ..... "Any reports you get, that this group has taken any action as the RPUSA Executive Committee should be ignored.... should also be aware that Donna Donavan, the on again, off again, on again, off again Reform Party "Press Secretary" is not a good source of media information.

DALLAS FIELD REPORT .....I thought you might be interested in a field report from the Verney Crew's meeting in Dallas... 07/30/00  ALABAMA LOSES RESPECT FOR THE CREW .....

"Joe Sansone, Chairman of the New Jersey Reform Party, said " I will personally make the motion to remove Jim Mangia from the position of National Secretary. His actions, along with those that went along with this hoax, are a national disgrace to a party that prides itself on the highest ethical behavior" ... 07/30/00  GERRY MOAN STANDS FOR THE CAUSE ..... "Today's actions in Dallas, even though non binding, will be properly reviewed on August 8th and the members of the National Committee and possibly the delegates to the National Convention will take whatever action they deem necessary.

Boss Verney has called a meeting of the (ExCom) Executive Committee in (where but) Dallas. This way all he has to do is drive across town to give instructions to his ExCom puppets. The ExCom Kangaroo Court plans to strike names submitted by the Buchanan Campaign, claiming that they were fraudulently submitted... 07/30/00  I AM NOT ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS ..... I ask the senator from California, again: you believe, you said "once the baby comes home." Obviously, you don't mean they have to take the baby out of the hospital for it to be protected by the Constitution. Once the baby is separated from the mother, you would agree -- completely separated from the mother -- you would agree that baby is entitled to constitutional protection? ... 07/30/00  THE CREW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE .....What follows is just one example of the many bald-faced lies put out by a tiny group (2-4 Verney-Perot loyalists) in states that will be contested at the Convention... 07/30/00  THE DEATH OF CONSERVATISM .....The Republican ticket of Bush and Cheney is probably the final nail in the coffin of modern conservatism. This is a ticket of the business and political establishment. It is a ticket of status quo governance, meaning accommodation to Big Government at home and world government abroad... 07/30/00  VERNEY'S COPY QUEEN AND SALON MAG ATTACK MULLER .....Since I've received several copies of Donna Donovan and Salon's charge against me, I'll take up the bandwidth to make a brief comment... 07/30/00  DALLAS MEETING: VOTE TO REMOVE BUCHANAN CALLED "BOGUS" ....."It means absolutely nothing," declared Bay Buchanan, the candidate's sister and national co-chair of the Buchanan campaign. "There's absolutely no question that Pat's still on the ballot"... 07/28/00  BRIGADE NETWORK PAGE UPDATED AGAIN! .....More names and links to websites added! 07/28/00  PAT WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE GOP ..... Calls for expensive federal social programs, backtracking on big government, pandering on "women's health," backing off on illegal aliens – is this the Democratic or the Republican platform? Except for a stand against abortion, the GOP draft platform released Thursday blurs the distinction between the two major parties.   This year's preliminary platform shows a turn to the left from the conservative 1996 platform on many issues... 07/27/00 BUCHANAN LAWSUIT - PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES .....The CPD is a not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of the District of Columbia. The CPD staged all of the presidential debates in 1988, 1992, and 1996 and is expected to stage all of the presidential debates this year.

Case in point: Thomas B. Edsall's recent article about Pat Buchanan in the Washington Post.

Why aren't you on that debate schedule now?... 07/27/00  EXCELLENT COLLECTION OF INFORMATION ON THE TM MOVEMENT AND JOHN HAGELIN ..... I am Associate Professor of Neurosurgery at the University of Pittsburgh but was involved for many years in the TM movement. I have known John Hagelin 16 years and have seen his promising career go right down the tubes as his committment to the TM movement escalated. His "running mate", Mike Tompkins, is a long time member of The Maharishi's monastic "Thousand Headed Purusha Program... 07/27/00  TEAMSTER POLL! .....Vote For Pat! 07/27/00  THE TWO-PARTY CARTEL .....The New York-based FAIR, which describes itself as "The Media Watch Group," makes the necessary point that the TV networks need not cede any authority to a Commission on Presidential Debates that, in effect, creates a closed, two-party cartel. The networks, FAIR continues, or perhaps PBS or a cable channel, could step forward and set their own terms, extending their own invitations for a series of debates.... If the Commission does not change its 15 percent rule — and if the various television operations remain subservient to the Commission's criteria — FAIR foresees protests at the sites of the debates by indignant citizens... Also, the debates would be a lot livelier with Pat and Ralph. 07/27/00  BUCHANAN HEADED FOR SHOWDOWN WITH PEROT LOYALISTS .....Longtime party leaders loyal to founder Ross Perot say they may seek a court injunction barring the former Republican from receiving the party's $12.5 million in public campaign funding if he tries certain procedural moves to guarantee his nomination.    But Buchanan is looking beyond the party's Aug. 10-13 nominating convention in Long Beach, where the winner of an ongoing primary will be announced.

Bush and Democrat Al Gore... 07/26/00  INTERNET BRIGADE NETWORK PAGE UPDATED .....More names added and check out the links to new Buchanan State Websites! Make sure you send in any additions and corrections... 07/25/00  DICK CHENEY AND BUSH'S OTHER WARMONGERS ..... Dick Cheney's ascension to the number two spot on the Republican ticket tells us much about the kind of foreign policy we can come to expect if Dubya makes it to the White House. To begin with, it means that the US will be in the Balkans forever. As CEO of the Halliburton Company, Cheney was among the chief profiteers of the Kosovo war... 07/25/00 Pat Buchanan on the American Future .....Buchanan isn't a libertarian, no doubt around that. But despite this, many libertarians find him of interest. He's an "old style conservative", very close to them on many issues: gun-control, foreign policy, sometimes immigration. Although his economic leftism is hard to share, many think it may be important to accept an alliance on these issues. We have talked with him about this... 07/24/00  BUCHANAN AND NADER – LET THE SMEARING BEGIN .....The elites are hoping that you won't be tuning in: voter turnout this year is expected to be at an all-time low, and for the people who rule this country that is really good news. They don't want you to tune in, or to vote, or to get too interested in or excited about the election, or politics in general ... 07/24/00  BUCHANAN AND THE BRIGADES: EFFECTING HOW BUSH GOVERNS AS PRESIDENT .....No serious person still thinks George Bush is a conservative. The evidence is overwhelming that he is not. In fact, Gore is having a hard time trying to get to Bush's Left. Bush's positions differ from Democrat positions only in their cost... 07/24/00  HAGELIN AND PEROT FACTIONS JOIN FORCES TO PREVENT BUCHANAN NOMINATION ..... "Factional fighting within the Reform Party escalated" on Thursday "with Pat Buchanan forces warning that they may try to throw out the party's primary ballot and seek their candidate's presidential nomination on the convention floor." As the "Ross Perot wing" of the party, led by ex-Natural Law Party presidential candidate John Hagelin, continued its attempts to "thwart" a possible Buchanan nomination, "Buchanan supporters have mustered enough votes to call a pre-convention national committee meeting" on Aug. 8 "to pave the way for what they hope will be a smooth Buchanan convention"... 07/24/00  PAT BUCHANAN RESPONSE TO WASHINGTON POST HIT PIECE .....Will you folks please make up your minds as to whether I am turning the Reform Party into a haven for Bolsheviks or a tree house for Nazis? Your Tom Edsall has us confused... 07/16/00  HAGELIN GIVEN PAT'S DATABASE .....This is bizarre. The leader of another political party seeks to audit the voter lists of our party's leading candidate and our ExCom agrees to force it.  The key item for the evening was whether the Reform Party would turn over to John Hagelin the list of members in the Buchanan Brigade... 07/16/00  JOHN HAGELIN AND THE GIGGLING GURU ....."Never mind the Buchananites: we know about them. What about the Natural Law Party? ... It turns out the TMers are somewhat to the right of Buchanan on such issues as abortion, homosexuality, the family, and the role of women....Yeah, those TMers sure hate queers. If you think the punishment for "unnatural acts" is just a good-natured soaking, then getta loada this"... 07/16/00  TEXAS SHELLGAME: VERNEY CREW'S LATEST MANUEVERS .....The Crew is busy again changing rules and trying to invalidate and overturn elections, this time our victory in Texas.   In America we have due process. That means that when a state delegation is challenged, they have the right to confront their challenger and their allegations. Dot Drew and Verney's Crew make a mockery of what America is about. Read what follows... 07/16/00  OUR LEGAL FUND - BUILD OUR WARCHEST! .....The attempts by the Wrecking Crew to disrupt our Convention, change state party rules, overturn elections and committee votes, and create general havoc within the party is escalating.  I am working with key members of the Brigade and Reform Party and we have decided that there are two important things to do right now.... 07/16/00  $13 BUCKS - 4'x8' PJB FOR PRESIDENT SIGNS! .....R.J. has a GREAT idea. Wouldn't it be terrific to see BIG Buchanan for President signs all over YOUR home town! At $13 bucks a sign -- it's one of the best deals around! ... 07/16/00  MORE ON THE CORRUPTED PRIMARY ..... Despite what you read below, Hagelin has the Reform Party list and he has already used it. He also has the NYIP list, which Kresky and his people control (170,000 names).     Most important, Fulani and the NY Party will not put Pat on the ballot after Long Beach. They have endorsed Hagelin and publicly say that if Buchanan wins the nomination of the National Party they will disaffiliate... 07/16/00  A LIBERTARIAN COMMENTS ON THE REFORM PARTY PRIMARY CORRUPTION ....."The RP's own rules invite participation by outsiders.... If the RP is silly enough to wish to invite nomination chaos by outsiders, they are free to do so. The RP knowingly assumed the risk of setting up their presidential nomination process as they did" ... 07/13/00  SILENCING LINDA MULLER AND THE BRIGADE .....Immediately an all out assault by Verney's Crew, led by Lou Anne Jones (Northwest Regional Representative) was launched to force the shutdown of our Brigade Website and email lists... 07/13/00  MANGIA'S SOUTHWEST EXCOM MEETING RULING .....Mr. Mangia's note is just another example of the current ExCom's hypocracy. They get together (on the phone), form committee's with themselves sitting double and triple duty, they make decisions and ruling that run contrary to our Party's Constitution, and then act shocked when the members decide take actions... 07/13/00  TRUE RECALL; EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE VIOLATION OF THE LYNCHBURG DECISION .....The germain issue is: Can two individuals that the party succeeded (at considerable expense) in gaining a legally binding court order to cause Ronn Young and Sue DeBauche to cease and desist being party reps be ignored for the purpose of election manipulation? ... 07/13/00  RP EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE DICTATORSHIP .....The RPUSA Executive Committee has resorted to desperate measures to block the results of three regional National Committee recalls and elections in violation of our party constitution and in ignorance of the infamous Lynchburg decision... 07/13/00  WHY IS THE NATURAL LAW PARTY ON THE REFORM PARTY CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE? .....Verney's Crew leader on the Credentials Committee is Dot Drew. She has usurped authority to put 5 Natural Law Party members on the committee... 07/12/00  THE HAGELIN CAMPAIGN BROCHURE .....Have you wondered how so many of us received this Hagelin material in the mail? Thousands of Brigades and Reformers have asked how their name became part of the Natural Law Party mailing list....Look at the return address. It is meant to appear that it is a Reform Party mailer. Verney and his Crew have given Hagelin, the Natural Law Party candidate permission to use the Reform Party logo on his campaign material.... 07/12/00  JIM MANGIA'S GAY AGENDA FOR THE REFORM PARTY .....Have you wondered how so many of us received this Hagelin material in the mail? Thousands of Brigades and Reformers have asked how their name became part of the Natural Law Party mailing list....Look at the return address. It is meant to appear that it is a Reform Party mailer. Verney and his Crew has given Hagelin, the Natural Law Party candidate permission to use the Reform Party logo on his campaign material.... 07/10/00  GOP CONSERVATIVES PLEASED WITH EXCLUSION FROM PLATFORM .....Indeed, pro-lifers, as well as other conservatives, might be better off forgetting about the Republican Party itself as any kind of realistic vehicle for their beliefs. Neither the party's nominee nor his henchmen want them or their ideas in the platform or the party, except as voting booth cannon fodder... 07/10/00  BUCHANAN VISITS FAMILY'S HOME TOWN ..... Buchanan: "One of the reasons I joined the Reform Party, and I'm running against the other two parties and their candidates, is I think they've abandoned the American worker. They've abandoned the American manufacturers. They're sacrificing the country and the interest of the American families on the altar of what they call the global economy ... I think what we need is to start looking out for our own country and our own people first"..... 07/10/00  HISPANIC INFLUX THREATENS TO CHANGE FACE OF AMERICA .....The year is 2100. America is in ferment. The second civil war has ended in defeat for English- speaking whites, encircled in their heartland in the Midwest.

Indeed, it is the only one of the three national conventions worth televising by the major television networks. There will be demonstrations outside the hall, debates and arguments inside. The question is who will control the future of a party that has the potential to win the presidency. As to brawls, they are unlikely to occur, but one never knows.

Two plaques bearing Confederate symbols were removed from the lobby of the Texas Supreme Court building this month and replaced with ones that say equal justice is available to all Texans "regardless of race, creed or color".... 06/16/00  CENTRAL PARK "WILDING" SEX ATTACK: ALL-OUT WARFARE AS HILLARY & BUCHANAN TRADE BARBS ..... Campaigning in Manhattan, Buchanan said the NYPD should have responded more forcefully to the spree after the Puerto Rican Day Parade on Sunday - and he laid blame at Clinton's feet.    "I think the liberal cop-bashing by folks like Hillary Rodham Clinton is in part responsible for the diminishment of the morale of the police," Buchanan said.    "And it does not surprise me in the least that a lot of these cops were far less aggressive in defending citizens and far less likely to get involved in what they ought to be doing - which is, quite frankly, busting a few heads and taking those folks to jail."....
