(Part-2) Co-chair thinks Haley should be seriously considered for No Labels presidential ticket.

The leaders of No Labels have sent a letter to the chief of the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department in which they claim that the campaign against them is an unlawful plot to obstruct their right to vote. By drawing parallels between their work and the civil rights struggle, they differentiate assaults against them from the usual political commentary, which is speech protected by the First Amendment.

Present at the press conference was No Labels co-chair and former NAACP leader Benjamin Chavis Jr., who characterized the purported plot to derail the organization as an egregious attack on voting rights.

A number of events are referenced in the letter, the majority of which are standard political strategies or official decrees. As it rolled past their Georgetown neighborhood, a mobile billboard featuring Trump, No Labels CEO Nancy Jacobson, and her husband, Mark Penn, was shown. 

 According to one No Labels employee, a friend of hers cautioned her that her involvement with the organization may spell disaster for her future in Democratic politics.

A lawsuit contesting No Labels' ability to access ballots in the battleground state of Arizona was brought by the Democratic Party, but was ultimately unsuccessful. A letter detailing the process for changing political parties was delivered by the Maine secretary of state to members of the newly formed No Labels party

 In a letter addressed to other secretaries of state, the leftist organization MoveOn demanded an investigation of the organization. Many of No Labels' detractors have even organized gatherings in an effort to dissuade politicians, funders, candidates, and political operatives from collaborating with the group.

The Lincoln Project, which was one of the organizations singled out in the letter, issued a statement claiming, "This is a desperate attempt to salvage their failing campaign and keep their fleeing supporters who have finally seen through their facade."

While remaining tight-lipped about its financial backers, No Labels has secured ballot eligibility in fourteen states, including key battlegrounds like North Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada, and is actively engaged in over a dozen more. It claims that Americans are clamoring for an alternative to Trump and Biden, who are now leading their parties' nomination races, and intends to provide its ballot line to a "bipartisan unity ticket" to represent this alternative.
