I wasn't a member of the Arizona Libertarian Party
when these events happened so everything I am saying
here is a second hand story that I heard from other people.
Back around 1998, 1999 or 2000 Peter Schmerl created the Arizona Libertarian Incorporated or ALP Inc. in his attempt to take over the Arizona Libertarian Party or ALP. Sadly the guy succeeded. The ALP had always refused to obey Arizona Election law by
I believe that Peter Schmerl then went to the Arizona Secretary of State and told her he because his ALP Inc obeyed the law that his ALP Inc. was not the official Arizona Libertarian Party. I think the Arizona Secretary of State more or less told Peter Schmerl to buzz off, which is my way of saying it, not hers. At some time Peter Schmerl file a lawsuit against folks in the Arizona Libertarian Party and perhaps the Arizona Libertarian Party. I am not sure of all the gory details. I believe that later on the state of Arizona was added to the lawsuit. Probably more specifically the Arizona Secretary of state. In first court decision Peter Schmerl and his ALP Inc lost the lawsuit. Peter Schmerl appealed the lawsuit his ALP Inc. won the lawsuit in an appeals court. ALP would have loved to appeal the lawsuit to the Arizona Supreme Court or perhaps the U.S. Supreme court. I don't remember the details. But John Buttrick who was one of the ALP lawyers became a judge in the Maricopa County Superior Court and could no longer represent ALP for that reason. I believe John Buttrick worked on the case for free. Our other lawyer Tom Rawles had since flipped back to being a Republican Party member and he did not want to continue to represent us in the case. I think he said he didn't have the time to represent us in another appeals. The Arizona Libertarian Party then voted to drop the case and dissolve the Arizona Libertarian Party and that was my last association with the Arizona Libertarian Party. As a result of that the ALP Inc became the official Libertarian Party of Arizona From the records at the Arizona Corporation Commission these are the people that created and started the Arizona Libertarian Party Incorporated.
