CHAIRMAN FRANK MACKAY TO RECALL LENORA FULANI (Feb-27-06, 1:42 AM) NEW YORK, NY(09/09/2005) --
New York State Independence Party Chairman, Frank MacKay has asked the New York State Independence Party State Committee to recall Dr.Lenora Fulani along with Vice Chairman Cathy Stewart and 3 other members from the state's executive committee during the Party's September 18th committee meeting. Section XII, Article 2 - Sub-section (b) of the NY State Independence Party Rules states: Any officers of the State Committee or members of the State Executive Committee against whom recall has been initiated may be removed from office by a vote of not less than fifty-five (55) percent at the same meeting of the State Committee weighted (vote).

"I would like to make it clear, that Independence Party is made up of many hard working people who want to see true reform in our nation's political process. Dr Fulani and her followers make it clear that they have a personal agenda that does not reflect our party's ideals. Dr. Fulani's continuing need to falsely portray herself as the leader of the Independence Party along with her inflammatory, wrongheaded remarks about the Jewish people has caused our party's leadership to take this action", said NY State Independence Party Chairman Frank MacKay.

Message from the Chairman:

The quality of a democracy is measured by the quality of participation by ordinary citizens. Democratic values and attitudes are learned through participation, and the highest calling of a citizen is to serve his or her fellow citizens in office as a position of trust, enjoying the bonds of affection with the voters for their willingness to sacrifice through public service.
