This is quite a letter, making the claim that these political activities cross the line from First Amendment speech to illegal intimidation.
Meanwhile, Rick Wilson, co-founder of the Lincoln Project, another organization actively working to prevent No Labels from exercising its constitutional rights, posted
a tweet with an accompanying video on April 6, 2023, urging that No Labels and its leaders “need to be burned to the fucking ground politically.” See https://x.com/ProjectLincoln/status/1644145691252457473?s=20. As of December 21, 2023, that tweet has been viewed 664,900 times, liked 2,600 times, and shared
1,600 times. Such inflammatory rhetoric crosses the line into calls for violence. We know all too well from experiences with other contemporary politicians how fighting words like that can trigger chaos in the electorate….Other members of the coalition working to undermine No Labels have sought to impede our organizing activities and efforts to access the ballot in individual states. On March 30, 2023, for example, the Democratic Party of Arizona filed a lawsuit against the No Labels Party of Arizona (an affiliate of No Labels) claiming that the Secretary of State had improperly approved its petition for party recognition and demanding that the
party’s recognition be revoked. The Maricopa County Superior Court dismissed the suit for failure to state a claim on August 7, 2023. See Ariz. Democratic Party v. No
Labels, Inc., Civil Case No. 2023-004832 (Maricopa Cnty. Super. Ct. Aug. 8, 2023)….On June 23, 2023, Melissa Moss, former finance director for the Democratic Party and representative of the Lincoln Project, asked to meet with Holly Page, a No Labels cofounder and Board of Advisors member, for breakfast in Washington. At the time, Ms. Page was working as a business consultant for Constance Milstein, the current U.S. Ambassador to Malta, a role Ms. Page had performed for more than two decades. During the breakfast, Ms. Moss explicitly threatened Ms. Page’s financial future based
on her affiliation with No Labels. In particular, Ms. Moss stated, “You have no idea of the forces aligned against you. You will never be able to work in Democratic politics
again.” She later added, “You are going to get it with both barrels.” Most eerily of all, she remarked, “I wonder what Connie Milstein thinks about what you are doing, this
can’t be good for her.” Ms. Page was startled and disturbed, particularly at with the last comment. It turns out, for good reason. Within weeks, Ms. Milstein’s attorney
contacted Ms. Page and advised her that, because Ms. Page was a persona non grata with the White House, Ms. Milstein was terminating her relationship with Ms. Page…..
