Reform Party: Who's on First?

Reform Party: Who’s on First?

by Frank Pizzoli

The Reform Party is like a baseball game gone into extra innings — except no one knows who’s on first.

MODE spoke with Reform Party National Chairman Jack Gargan, from Cedar Cliff, Florida. “The whole party process on February 12 in Nashville was a farce,” he said.

The Dallas party wing not re-elected to run the now-sagging third party has sabotaged Gargan and Pennsylvania’s Tom McLaughlin, of Bartonsville, Reform Party National Secretary. Since Gargan and McLaughlin took office, defeated party chair Russ Verney, a former full-time employee of Ross Perot, has refused, according to Gargan, to turn over any records.

“Minions of Ross Perot,” Gargan calls the renegade crew apparently bent on derailing his administration and the party in the process. “That’s why Jesse Ventura walked,” Gargan claimed, adding, “Trump didn’t like the atmosphere either. You can’t win elections with a dysfunctional organization.”

“This situation is like Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch when he tried to demolish an election and take over. History tells us he lost that particular battle and eventually the war,” Gargan warned. In the meantime, there appears to be nothing “reformist” about how the warring factions have decided to fight. They chose the Great All-American Pastime and went to court. Hearings are scheduled for March 22 through 24 in (not a joke) Lynchburg, VA.
