I have to confess that the whole email ballot thing is cumbersome. 
How do the current co-sponsors feel about these changes?

In furtherance of the request from CO and now AZ (and likely WA) for the LNC to consider a resolution similar to the CO Gun Rights and Watch Lists Resolution, and Sam Goldstein's commentary on my prior request, I offer a motion to adopt the following resolution:
