Rodney A. Logal is a NJCDLP co-founder, Executive
Committee board member, and a long time political /
legal activist. He is undoubtedly NJCDLP's largest
benefactor, even providing the organization office space
and facilities at his "Logal Professional and Public Policy
Offices".
For over 30 years Mr. Logal petitioned and agitated to
encourage a true, two party political system in Lake
County, Indiana. He was the plaintiff in cutting edge
litigation challenging steel manufacturing powerhouses
through a shareholder's derivative action. He has taken on
powerful interests in the name of justice many times. The
experiences left him with an unshakeable conviction that
America's legal and judicial system have gone astray. Yet
he advocates to help restore true liberty in this country
with the spirit in which he defended it during the Vietnam
War.
