    Removing a member of the ARP State Central Committee without due process and in

    Charges Against: Peter Goldberg

    Charges: That, on April 25th

    , Peter Goldberg did attempt to effect a hostile takeover of the District

    12 Committee, without any notice, warning, or any consultation whatsoever with theelected members of the District 12 Executive Committee; That he interfered in the

    affairs of said district committee by claiming falsely that the District 12 Committee had

    never been created and organized; That he attempted to remove District 12s District

    Chairman from the rolls of the ARP State Central Committee without notice of chargesor a hearing, or other procedural safeguards meant to protect the rights of elected

    officers of the Alaska Republican Party; That he then attempted to appoint, again

    without consultation with any of the members of the District 12 Executive Committee, athen candidate for district 12 party office (Nancy Dahlstrom, a declared candidate for

    District Vice-Chairman at the April 25th

    District Election Meeting), a non-officer of

    District 12, as the Temporary Chairman of District 12 and ordered that her name beadded to the rolls of the ARP State Central Committee without election, and in

    opposition to the will of the District 12 Committee who had declined to support her

    candidacy for District Vice-Chairman at the March District Meeting, and in so doing

    caused a mockery to be made of the Alaska Republican Party Election Process.

    Outcome Requested: Removal from any position of trust or responsibility in the Alaska Republican

    Party

    Additional Facts: On March 29th

    , David Eastman was added to the rolls of the ARP State Central

    Committee as District 12 Chairman, was added to the ARP State Central Committee E-mail List, and

    on April 22nd

    David Eastman was added as a registered Deputy Treasurer for the Alaska RepublicanParty so that District 12 could then be enabled to accept future contributions. Without any charges

    being filed, the charged officer receiving notice of such charges, or a hearing held, Peter Goldberg

    ordered that David Eastmans name be removed from the rolls of the ARP State Central Committee andthat Nancy Dahlstrom be added in his place, whereupon Mr. Goldberg began to act, and instruct others

    to act, as though David Eastman were no longer a member of the ARP State Central Committee, to

    remove David Eastman from e-mail lists addressed to members of the ARP State Central Committee,

    and to act as though Nancy Dahlstrom were an official representative of the District 12 Committee. Inso doing, Mr. Goldberg has engaged in activities prohibited by (or contrary to) the rules of our party.
