Media Advisory for Immediate Release:
Ashjian’s Qualifications as a Candidate for U.S. Senate Challenged
Tim Fasano, the Independent American Party candidate for U.S. Senate, will file a “Challenge of Qualification” of the so-called “Tea Party” candidate Scott Ashjian for U.S. Senate, this afternoon in the First Judicial District Court in Carson City.
Joining Fasano in the challenge is Debbie Landis the President of Anger Is Brewing, the local grassroots affiliate of the National Tea Party movement.
The challenge is being filed under NRS 293.174. Ashjian signed his “Declaration of Candidacy” on March 1, 2010 claiming to be a member of the so-called “Tea Party”. He did not register to vote as a member of the so-called “Tea Party” until the next day, March 2, 2010. This presents a clear violation of the oath he swore on his “Declaration of Candidacy” and makes his candidacy subject to challenge on his qualifications.
