Here are minutes from a meeting called by Stuart Korchin on August 27, 2009. There should no longer be any question about the legitimate rules of the CFL party, or the identity of the officers.
Minutes for the meeting of Connecticut for Lieberman members on 8/27/09 in Middletown, CT on Main Street.
As per notice provided to myself (John Kilian) via email from Stuart Korchin, the annual meeting required by the rules filed by Korchin on Jan. 12, 2007 with the Secretary of State’s office was convened at 9 PM at the Buttonwood Tree on Main Street, Middletown. The purpose of convening party members under these rules is to allow the adoption of changes to the rules, election of officers, and all other business of the Connecticut for Lieberman Party. Stuart Korchin professes to be the chairman of the party.
No temporary officers for this meeting were pre-determined by any action under Korchin's rules or by Stuart Korchin in any other manner.
A sign-in was conducted by members of the party who have been registered in the party for 90 or more days prior to this meeting.

Stuart Korchin moved that the meeting be adjourned and another meeting convened in August of 2010. No one seconded the motion. Stuart Korchin left the premises at this point in time.
Valerie Tralongo moved that John Mertens be chair of this meeting. Paul Borucki seconded the motion. The motion was agreed to by unanimous consent.

Valerie Tralongo moved that the rules adopted on 2/12/09 on Sisson Avenue in Hartford by members of CFL and filed with the Secretary of State on 2/13/09 at 1:47PM replace the rules Korchin placed on file, under which this meeting had been called. Paul Borucki seconded the motion.
Discussion of the motion took place: Valerie Tralongo mentioned the importance of having 30 days notice for meetings posted on the website and 7 days notice with the Secretary of State, which are included in 2/12/09 rules. She also stated that the same rules restrict terms to until the next year’s caucus. Korchin rules contain no procedure for nominating candidates and party leaders, and no requirements of notification to party members of the time and place of any meetings. The general consensus was that the Korchin rules as executed by Stuart Korchin purposely dispossessed members of their ability to participate in all material party functions, whereas the 2/12/09 rules purposely and legally provided members with basic rights of participation. The motion was agreed to by unanimous consent.
Valerie Tralongo moved that the officers elected at the 2/12/09 Connecticut for Lieberman Party meeting be immediately instated as the officers for the party under the Korchin rules. Paul Mertens seconded the motion.
