[Lnc-business] E-MAIL BALLOT: Hinkle motion to purchase a building

Thu Jan 24 20:53:14 EST 2013

Dr. Lark,

I vote "nay" on the initial motion proposed below:

*SUBJECT:*  E-MAIL BALLOT ON HINKLE MOTION TO PURCHASE A BUILDING

Text of Motion:
Moved, that the LNC approve the purchase of an office in the greater
Washington, D.C. area, to be named in honor of David F. Nolan, contingent
on the following conditions:

   - A minimum of 20% of the down payment shall be raised from dedicated
   contributions.  If a portion of that is in the form of pledges, the pledges
   must be converted to cash before a purchase contract and mortgage agreement
   are finalized.
   - The monthly payment of principal, interest, and OTM (Overhead, Taxes,
   and Maintenance) shall not exceed 75% of our current lease payments at the
   Watergate complex.

This motion will constitute authority to incur a mortgage if the above
conditions are met and if this motion passes by the necessary two-thirds
vote as specified in the Libertarian Party’s Bylaws.
The final decision on what property to buy shall be ratified by the LNC's
Executive Committee by a majority vote once the above conditions are met.

Best,

Brett H. Pojunis
Libertarian National Committee (LNC) – Region 4 Representative
