[Lnc-business] Some comments for your consideration

[James Lark]

Dear colleagues:

     I hope all is well with you.  I am writing to offer some comments 
for your consideration; I hope you find them worthy of your attention.

1)  In separate messages I shall vote in favor of the two motions 
currently under consideration.  In particular, I shall vote in favor of 
the motion to appoint me an International Representative (to serve along 
with immediate-past LNC chair Geoff Neale).

     Given the nature of the position, I do not consider it 
inappropriate for me to vote on the motion.  In addition, no one on the 
LNC has expressed concerns about this matter.  However, if by chance any 
of you have concerns about my voting on this motion, please let me know 
as soon as possible.

2)  At this moment, I strongly suspect the motion to hold an in-person 
LNC meeting on Dec. 13-14 in the greater New Orleans area will be 
approved.  If so, then we may wish to keep in mind a couple of items for 
planning purposes.

     Specifically, the anniversary of the founding of the Libertarian 
Party will take place on Thursday, Dec. 11, and the celebration of "Bill 
of Rights Day" will take place on Monday, Dec. 15.  It is possible that 
a press release about the founding of the LP (along with info about the 
upcoming LNC meeting in the New Orleans area) may generate some 
publicity and media outreach opportunities for the LP and the 
Libertarian Party of Louisiana.

     In addition, if the Libertarian Party of Louisiana and its local 
organizations plan to conduct celebrations of "Bill of Rights Day" on or 
about Dec. 15, perhaps those LNC members who are able to spend an extra 
day in the "Big Easy" could make themselves available to assist such 
celebrations.  For whatever it is worth, the Jefferson Area Libertarians 
(the local LP affiliate to which I serve as secretary) has held "Bill of 
Rights Day" events annually since 1999.  These events have routinely 
generated favorable publicity for us and the Libertarian Party.  (Our 
annual event, now known as the "Bill of Rights Acclamation," usually 
takes place on the Downtown Mall in Charlottesville, Virginia; it 
features several speakers, along with a public reading of the Bill of 
Rights.)

     As always, thanks for your work for liberty.  I look forward to 
seeing you in northern Virginia next month.

     Take care,
     Jim
