RNC Treasurer & AZ GOP Chair RANDY PULLEN & BRETT MECUM CONSPIRE with JEFF DIAL to HIJACK & CONTROL popular Republican Professionals networking group

NOTE: SOMEONE 'ATTEMPTED' TO HACK THIS BLOG. BUT ITS' BACK UP! NICE TRY!



We received a phone call from AZ GOP General Councel LEE MILLER concerning our article. Mr. Miller told us that NO ONE came to Randy Pullen with complaints of these kind of activites that occurred at Republican Professional events.


Mr. Miller nor Randy Pullen have ever seen the complaints, according to Mr. Miller.

'Assuming the GOP Chairman has authority over the RP, it also follows that "by God we're going to exert some authority over the organization' said Mr. Miller.

As a result of this conversation, we then contacted CHARLES JENSEN, President of the Republican Professionals, to confirm our story. Mr. Jensen said our story is accurate!

There are over 30 pages of these 'complaints' and in a future post, may be made public!


In an un-related story, the

Arizona Republican Party Executive Director Brett Mecum was arrested May 6 by the Department of Public Safety for speeding and reckless driving.
Maricopa County Sheriff's Deputy Lindsay Smith said Mecum was arrested at the state Republican Party's Phoenix headquarters. State Republican Party officials confirmed the arrest.

Smith said Mecum has been charged with one count of speeding for driving in excess of 85 miles per hour. He also is facing one count of reckless driving.

Arizona’s premier GOP social networking group - the popular and classy ‘Republican Professionals’ (RP) - was conceptualized and brought to life in 2007 by longtime business events planner, financial advisor, and commercial real estate expert Charles Jensen. Since then, Jensen has volunteered 100’s of hours to the planning & the social meetings of the RP group at such swanky-cool nightclubs as 6 Lounge, Mondrian and the W Hotel.

So far, Jensen and his team have successfully executed 19 monthly soirees, combining their creativity and enthusiasm to fill a niche in the networking and social life of hundreds of like-minded 20/30/40-something Republicans all across the Valley. Without the monthly events, now known as “Republican Professionals: Politics on the Rocks”, these all-about-business politicos & Republicans really have no way of meeting and interacting with each other on a regular basis. The RP events typically attract 150-300 participants.

Over time, friendships have grown, Arizona politicians have chilled out and mingled with RP members and new business, social and political alliances have been made. The charter RP group has been an enjoyable, resounding success.

Jensen began to realize what a positive effect groups like his could have all over the US. He started other chapters of RP in cities such Los Angeles, San Francisco, and soon - Las Vegas. The potential for the Republican Professionals concept and brand seemed unlimited.

Charles Jensen became even more motivated to reinvigorate the “lost generation” of the GOP by simply bringing them together to informally socialize with each other. Political enthusiasm would naturally follow. Brilliant.

Jensen dared to dream.


Unfortunately, Jensen had no way of knowing that a small but sinister alliance had secretly formed within his own RP group. It was soon apparent that the members of the secret alliance loved Jensen’s dream for the future of the RP - as much as Jensen himself. Enter Sandman.


Charles Jensen has always been known as a true professional by RP members, vendors and distinguished guests – and as the founding-father and Alpha-Male of the RP Executive Board - he has always insisted that his events remain above reproach. Jensen expects a certain level of decorum and character out of RP Board members – but a couple of rogue pirates just couldn’t hang with that.

Together, this handful of pirates had the audacity to hope for “Operation Spring-Break 2009” – the hostile takeover of the very group that Jensen has labored over, built from the ground up and is (still) President of. Once these cribbers initiated their covert operation – their sinister alliance became a full-on “rogue faction”. How anti-Republican.

Two under-performing Beta-Males on the Board (former AZ House candidate Jeff “0 for 2” Dial & his BFF/roommate Ryan Ducharme) and one well-connected RP lurker (another roomie of D&D - AZ GOP Executive Director Brett Mecum) – together comprise the under-40 wing of this anti-Republican “rogue faction”. Yes, there is also an over-40 wing, heck - it’s an over-60 wing. Keep reading.

Making all of this much worse and grotesquely salacious……..Jeff Dial & Ryan Ducharme repeatedly took advantage of their insider positions within RP and used the Republican Professional events and affiliations not only to network and socialize – but as a place to find, well…… you know……a “prime piece” of Republican “real estate”. The pirates liked to hunt for


booty treasure. Allegedly.















When many of these “real estate” deals started to fall through – the anxious D&D began to get worried that they’d no longer be able to “flip houses” on the Republican Professionals circuit. Allegedly. These wannabe “Sugar Daddies” were even willing to throw-in complementary “bear claws & wine coolers” for each & every lady in the house – as long as it was all kept on the DL. Google it.















All the single ladies, all the single ladies……..put their hands up………right to computer keyboards & phones, where they expressed their outrage and disgust at the behavior of Dial & Ducharme. (Hell Yeah!)















The RP Board became concerned enough to discuss the serious nature of the accusations with D&D, even as the complaints kept coming in. Soon, Charles Jensen and the RP Board had 30 pages worth of documented complaints from women - ALL against Jeff Dial and Ryan Ducharme. Uh-oh.

Jensen made the only decision his character and conscience would allow him to.

On March 4, 2009, the Executive Board of the Republican Professionals promptly and unanimously (one abstaining) removed Jeff Dial and Ryan Ducharme and forbade them from being associated, in any way, with Jensen’s Republican Professionals group in the future. According to several RP Board members, the two roomies were fired due to their ongoing harassment of women on the Board & within the RP group, their lack of participation in official Board duties and their boorish, UNprofessional behavior.















[ It’s important to note here - that the three RP separatists live communally as roommates - in what is known in RP circles as the ‘HO-tel California’. The home is titled to Jeff Dial and his parents, who reside in California. ]

Since neither Dial nor Ducharme understand the meaning of the word NO! – they did what all smacked-down undercover lovers do……..they went straight to their otra amigo and roommate – Brett Mecum - for some quick help.

Mecum came through for the team.























Mecum went straight to his jefe…….RNC Treasurer & AZ GOP Chairman Randy Pullen.















Mr. Pullen went straight to his abogado……AZ GOP staff attorney, Lee Miller.

There is something beautiful yet so predictable about symmetry and order, is there not?

And…….as they say…….LET THE FESTIVITIES BEGIN.























Immediately following the removal of Dial & Ducharme from the RP Executive Board, the three amigos launched into a full-on attempted HIJACKING & apparent LARCENY of Charles Jensen’s Republican Professionals social networking club.























In the last 60 days, the pirates have laid claim to Jensen’s:

• Group events
• Name
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Logo
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Intellectual property
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Longtime website
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Branding rights
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Political Action Committee
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Finances

*****And the pirates have declared ownership of all FUTURE affiliations, concepts and events of the Republican Professionals – in AZ and across the US.















********************















On March 6, 2009, less than 48 hours after being expelled from the Republican Professionals - Mecum, Dial and Ducharme packed a sack-lunch and scurried down to the Arizona Secretary of State’s office and began filing a rash of legal documents.

The trio updated the RP PAC financial documents to now designate Ryan Ducharme as its treasurer and JEFF DIAL as CHAIRMAN. Dial & Ducharme also filed two trademark applications with the AZSOS: One, for the legal ownership of the trade name “Republican Professionals” associated with a networking/political club and the other for the trademark of the RP group – a GOP elephant holding a martini glass in its trunk. [Click HERE to see AZ trademark filing and HERE to see trade name filing.]

The day wasn’t over.















[ Background: Brett Mecum had only a limited amount of association with the RP Board for nearly a year but decided to help out his roommates anyway. Mecum encouraged the RP to open a PAC in the midst of the 2008 campaign season and the Board took the bait. ]















As the authorized agent of the RP PAC, Brett Mecum decided to take a little trip to bank that serviced the PAC account. Allegedly, Mecum signed Dial & Ducharme onto the account, then removed the $ and closed the account. Mecum then opened a new bank account and permanently signed the PAC over to Dial and Ducharme. The Republican Professionals PAC $ remains in a “mystery” account, allegedly – of course. Mecum facilitated ALL of this without any legal authority to do so and without notifying Charles Jensen or the RP Board.























The MARCH MADNESS continued.

Jeff Dial and Ryan Ducharme cracked open their piggy banks and scraped together $325.00 – they let it all ride on one number.

On March 18, 2009, the two roomies used this $325 windfall to pay the submission fee to the United States Patent & Trademark Office for a deceptive TRADEMARK application, in which they applied for the exclusive use and ownership of all things related to the name and future use of the REPUBLICAN PROFESSIONALS. D&D submitted their brand new trademark & trade name filings from the AZ SOS and an event announcement flyer as evidence they had a legal claim to the totality of the RP group.























Dial & Ducharme were awarded a provisional US SERIAL number of: 77694313 but their application has not yet been assigned to an US Patent Attorney for review. Pretty soon, a lawyer will research their allegedly ‘factual’ claims to the RP name. [CLICK HERE to view or download your very own copy of their application. Check off all 3 boxes before downloading the 16 pages. You may have to re-enter the SERIAL # above.]























D&D filed their app online with but must not have read the fine print. My copy of page 7 says something like this:















Declaration















The undersigned, being hereby warned that willful false statements and the like so made are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001, and that such willful false statements, and the like, may jeopardize the validity of the application or any resulting registration……… he/she believes the applicant to be the owner of the trademark/service mark sought to be registered…………that all statements made of his/her own knowledge are true; and that all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.















Signature: /Jeff Dial/ Date Signed: 03/18/2009







Signatory's Name: Jeff A. Dial







Signatory's Position: Co-Owner

Does your copy say the same thing?

The dynamic duo visited one more State office on March 25, 2009 – the Arizona Corporation Commission. D&D filed legal incorporation documents for the non-profit (yeah right) Republican Professionals, Inc. Ducharme is listed as the President & Vice-Chairman and Jeff Dial is listed as Chairman of this brand new corporation. Someone with keen-eyes at the ACC has noted that there is a possible “name conflict” with the filing. Maybe someone in-house has been to an RP meeting or two. [Click HERE to see the D&D ACC incorporation filing.]

Obviously, as Dial and Ducharme were busy filing legal paperwork to allegedly STEAL and/or hostilely takeover Charles Jensen’s Republican Professionals group – they completed their dirty work without the permission or knowledge of the current RP Board members. But AZ GOP Chairman Randy Pullen knew all about it. He even mentioned it in a late March 2009 email to Jensen.

Near the end of March 2009, D&D came up with a new Master Plan. Since they had already (allegedly) committed fraud via the (alleged) lies on their US Patent & Trademark application and the new registrations with the Arizona Secretary of State’s office – they realized that they actually NEEDED the TITLE and AUTHORITY of OWNERSHIP that they’d already sworn they possess. Ooops.























So…….on March 29, 2009, Jeff Dial and Ryan Ducharme got their ‘Donald Trump on’ and performed a TWO-dude version of a Kangaroo Court Board meeting of the RP, even though they’d been permanently exiled by the REAL RP Board more than three weeks earlier. During their off-Broadway show, these two new KOTU’s - ‘Kings of the Universe’ - removed Charles Jensen as President of the RP. Jeff Dial now claimed the title of El Presidente all to himself. Ducharme was appointed Vice-Chairman of the Board.

Jensen discovered the new game-plan of the imposters inside his INBOX.

Yes, Jeff Dial e-mailed Jensen and informed him that he had been removed as President of the Republican Professionals. This did not set well with Charles Jensen or the current Board of the RP. They couldn’t have seen what was coming next.

Curiously, Brett Mecum was only too happy to oblige his roomies D&D in the ensuing dispute over the rightful owner/operator of the Republican Professionals.. Mecum did what any roommate would do.

Mecum brought in RNC Treasurer & AZ GOP Chairman Randy Pullen to “mediate” the so-called disputed Presidency of the RP club.

In reality, Pullen began a series of squeeze plays in order to EXPEDITE the hostile takeover of Arizona’s Republican Professionals group, all nationwide chapters and all future endeavors of Jensen’s RP brand.

********************

Randy Pullen and Brett Mecum quickly notified Charles Jensen that he wasn’t even “allowed” to have a club with the name “Republican” in the title without the explicit permission and/or oversight of the AZ GOP Chairman. Suddenly, Jensen didn’t seem to have permission. Jeff Dial apparently & allegedly did, though.

Both Pullen and Mecum knew this was B.S. when they gave Jensen the fake news. The word “Republican” is part of the free market. The unique moniker GOP and the stylized red and blue elephant with three white stars are in-fact trademarked by the RNC. They even have an online request form to apply for use of their trademarked logo. [ Click HERE to see the RNC site. ]























What the RNC does NOT have is a form requesting approval of the use of the word “Republican”. This descriptive word cannot be trademarked, in and of itself – and no one needs permission to use it.























Pullen himself, nearly lost his mind during the 2008 elections when campaign signs in Tucson popped up with the unauthorized use of the RNC elephant logo. He even alerted the RNC and one of the staff lawyers penned a little note that forbid the use of the trademarked logo. However, Pullen didn’t say one word about all of those signs with the (alleged) unlawful use of the word Republican.

Jensen actually believed Randy Pullen was being truthful with him and lamented the imminent loss of his namesake RP group. Jensen began to suspect that he was being taken advantage of.

Pullen then suggested that Dial and Jensen hold an election for President. Huh? Jeff Dial wanted the election open to EVERY registered Republican in the State of Arizona. (Cue: laughter) Jensen wasn’t going for that.















During the lagging Pullen & AZ GOP counselor Lee Miller’s so-called “mediation”, Jeff Dial found personal legal representation from the legendary David Burnell Smith.















Attorney Smith fired off a threatening letter to Charles Jensen on Dial’s behalf – and demanded that Jensen turn over the RP club to Dial. (Smith is the ONLY AZ legislator to ever be removed from office for Clean Elections $$ violations. Smith and Dial shared more than an attorney/client privilege – when running for public office, each man’s campaign employed Ryan Ducharme and paid him with public funding Clean Elections $$.)

Jensen responded with a letter from his own attorney, stating that Jensen had NO intention of turning over the club to the two ousted Board members. However, Jensen was eager to resolve the dispute and actually anticipated gradually moving forward and simply renaming his group.

Jensen was beginning to wear down and wanted to just move on. He’d decided that he’d start a new quasi-Republican Professionals group. He almost gave in to the demands of D&D and the AZ GOP……but it wasn’t that easy for Jensen to walk away. He still had some unfinished business to take care of.

********************

There were still those 30 pages of documented complaints from women in the Republican Professionals and those complaints appeared, on the surface, to rise and meet the legal standard of a claim of sexual harassment (which *allegedly* occurred) . At a minimum, the complaints rise to meet the “publicly accepted definition” of a claim of sexual harassment (which *allegedly* occurred) – the one that says, “We all know it when we see it”.

Jensen didn’t want his RP group and good name associated with harassing and bullying octopi like Jeff Dial and Ryan Ducharme.























Many times over the last two months, Jensen has tried to bring the complaints forward to Randy Pullen - yet Pullen has REFUSED to listen to them or about them *really, really ignored them*. Pullen has also


refused booty treasure. Allegedly.

When many of these “real estate” deals started to fall through – the anxious D&D began to get worried that they’d no longer be able to “flip houses” on the Republican Professionals circuit. Allegedly. These wannabe “Sugar Daddies” were even willing to throw-in complementary “bear claws & wine coolers” for each & every lady in the house – as long as it was all kept on the DL. Google it.

RNC Treasurer & AZ GOP Chairman Randy Pullen even REFUSED to meet with any of the registered Republican ladies who’d been (allegedly) sexually harassed by Dial and/or Ducharme.

The ladies have tried to schedule meetings with Pullen – but no dice. One determined woman even showed up unannounced to the AZ GOP HQ and asked to speak to Randy Pullen. He didn’t want to talk about it. Allegedly. Then, last week on April 29, 2009, AZ GOP attorney Lee Miller pulled out all the stops when he penned an email to Charles Jensen. Miller also sent copies to Randy Pullen and Brett Mecum. The words and intent of the email are troubling. There is a definite JEDI MIND TRICK vibe going on here.

Charles –

On behalf of my colleagues at the State Party we applaud and thank you for taking a step forward and opting to create an all new networking organization for politically conservative professionals. As with any other brand, the Party has an obligation to manage and control how terms such as “Republican” “GOP” and the elephant trade mark are used. Sometimes that brand management obligation puts us crosswise with groups such as yours, who’s goals and objectives the Party very much supports. Your rebranding effort will allow us to be able to work much more closely together with much less friction. The State Party will appreciate you agreeing to donate to us the Republican Professionals Facebook site, LinkedIn account and email list. We intend to ensure that members of the former organization have a conduit to the state Republican Party and have the opportunity to volunteer their time to Republican causes and participate in AZGOP sanctioned events. I suppose at some level you’d have some concerns about us competing with your new organization.. I am confident that, in practice, your new organization and future Party-run activities and events will be very complimentarily. One of the challenges we have with any of the party organizations is the obligation to always support the “party-line” and (most of the time) our incumbents. I am confident you will come to enjoy the relative freedom for your new organization to precisely reflect the goals and objectives of its membership without regard any parent organization. Thanks in advance for your donation of the existing resources to the Party. Please feel free to call on any of us to assist you in developing your new organization.

I can hear the voice of our boy – Yoda – as he said, “Only a Dark Lord of the Sith knows of our weakness”. Yes indeed Yoda. Yes indeed.

********************

As of today, Pullen still refuses to discuss the allegations of the ladies and he still supports the hostile takeover of the Republican Professionals by Jeff Dial and Ryan Ducharme.

I dare say to you Mr. Randall PULLEN……

That is unacceptable behavior for the TREASURER of the REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE and the CHAIRMAN of the REPUBLICAN PARTY of ARIZONA.

I believe that Randy Pullen is, technically, an officer of the State of Arizona – by way of the ‘political subdivision’ definition. I’m sure he takes an oath of office and is sworn in by the Governor of Arizona. I’m sure there is a proper protocol for any State officer as highly ranking as Randy Pullen – to follow if complaints like this are brought to his attention. Pullen has repeatedly demonstrated that he is willing to argue about the right to use the word ‘Republican’ and the right to own your own creation - but has not been willing to look a victimized young woman in the eyes. Hmmm.

Now, if Randy Pullen decides that he’s not authorized to hear the complaints since they arose out of a privately owned and operated social networking group – WONDERFUL! Jensen and the RP Board did the only thing they could do with the two octopi. Secondly, Pullen’s hands-off approach must then apply to the “rogue faction” of GOP groupie-private property stealing- pirates whom he has encouraged in their misdeeds.

You can’t have it both ways Randy.

Ultimately……..Randy Pullen has shown that he is really a coward.

Pullen would not spend ONE MINUTE listening to any complaints of harassment from young ladies who’ve been (allegedly) harassed by one of his young-male-groupies but he’s got the BALLS to try and overthrow the friggin’ financial operations of Michael Steele’s new Republican National Committee???? Are you kidding me????

I can’t believe that Michael STEELE – if he learned the truth about Randy Pullen’s cover-up of allegations of sexual harassment and the THEFT of the next greatest Republican network – would want Pullen anywhere near him. As if he does now.

Hey Randy, a real-man doesn’t cover-up the harassment of females. He gets rid of the bastards who do it.

Maybe Pullen only feels like a man when he’s got a bunch of Good Ol’ Boys from the Dirty South or the D.C. insiders & defense-contractor lobbyists backing him up. But……put him in a room full of outraged, intelligent Republican ladies……and he’s running for the border. (I couldn’t resist since there’s no fence stopping him from getting in and you all know - that just KILLS Randy.)

Seriously folks – real life is stranger than fiction.

We’re standing at a precipice in the long life of the Republican Party. If you all would sit quietly for a moment and think without reacting– you’d realize that one thing Michael Steele brings to the GOP that no one has since Ronald Reagan – is enthusiasm and excitement. I could care less what he says about Rush. Rush is a jerk. We all know it. He’s paid handsomely to be one.

What a gig.

For the first time in EONS……..Michael Steele has empowered and encouraged self-motivators like Charles Jensen to help breathe life back into the younger generations of Republicans. We’ve been wandering aimlessly for years. Lord knows the GOP is on life-support.

Michael Steele has been very adamant that the FUTURE of the GOP lies with
in the motivation and vision of people - just like Charles Jensen. Steele has traversed across the country meeting in small groups of politically influenced “entrepreneurs” - just like Charles Jensen.

Several months ago, Steele’s office issued mandates to every STATE GOP office – putting them on notice that he will not tolerate the ‘business as usual’ infrastructure of Grandpa’s GOP. The State GOP offices were ordered to implement change or face the consequences.

I guess the Arizona GOP has chosen the latter. Bring it on Baby!

********************

Pullen, Mecum and Miller went straight to the heart of a young man who has served the GOP his entire voting life

These Siths went straight for the jugular - Jensen’s honest respect and love for not only his political party and his future endeavors with any and all RP groups…..the sly Siths subversively meddled with Jensen’s heart and soul. They know Jensen is a guy they can count on to do the right thing and politely hand over his creation……out of a sense of duty, obligation and respect for authority.

They were right about one thing.

Jensen is a guy that can be counted on to do what is right. Despite all of these distractions and seemingly insurmountable situations…….

Jensen is speaking up for all of the ladies of the RP here at Politico Mafioso – since no once else would listen. He is taking back his good name, his Republican Professionals groups, his future clubs, his creativity, his intellectual property, his dreams and most importantly….his life.

Charles Jensen is a guy who will be a household name in
politico circles in another 10 years. He’s EXACTLY what Michael Steele’s new Republicans need. He gets it. Jensen, himself, empowers and encourages others. He’s a motivator. He’s an innovator. He’s compassionate. He’s a gentleman.

He is destined to show others……..the way to the light.
