Those that do are free to apologize, express their regrets, or get down on their knees and beg forgiveness if they want to.

If someone thinks that the convention acted improperly, their appropriate remedy would be an appeal or other complaint to our JC.  The LNC doesn’t have the authority to act contrary to the convention.

One is my proposal that the competing chairmen both resign voluntarily and the remaining officers of both groups hold a special convention to elect a new, undisputed LPO group of officers. The other would be for the LNC to accept the decision of the Oregon JC that the Reeves group is the legitimate LPO.  I favor the second solution, as it gives the most respect to the state party.
