==Reform Caucus of California== | |||
Kenneth Brent Olsen is one of the founding members of the [[Reform Caucus of California]], whose statement of principles is "The Reform Caucus of California is dedicated to the reformation of the Libertarian Party of California in a manner that focuses on making us an effective political party rather than a social club. We affirm that a political party's goal is to disseminate its principles and to get candidates elected. We believe that California needs a Libertarian Party; a party that promotes liberty and is designated to win elections in the state of California." It was formed by [[Brandon Nelson]] on June 12, 2019, in response to the Libertarian Party of California Judicial Committee's decision to repeal the vote of the delegates to delete the Platform at the [[California Convention 2019]] in Concord, California. It was named after the [[Reform Caucus]], which was behind the so-called "Portland Massacre" in 2006 at the [[National Convention 2006]], when the national Platform was changed dramatically. | |||
