[Lnc-business] Motion to rescind

[Arvin Vohra]

Hi All,

This motion to rescind is a bad strategy.

As LNC members, we often discuss issues of sensitivity, employment,
strategy, and legality in executive (secret) sessions. That includes
everything from employee salaries to legal and media strategy.

A contract with a high profile presidential campaign, in my view, falls
into at least one, if not all, of those categories. What exactly do we hope
to gain by announcing the details of this contract to the DNC and RNC? Why
on earth would we announce the specifics of our new member outreach
strategy, or our joint media strategy, to our opponents?

If LNC members want to rescind the ability to sign the contract based on
some strategic flaw, financial liability, or other reason, I'd be open to
thoroughly consider that. But opposing a strategic document for being
secret makes no sense. Strategies are supposed to be secret.

Even on the facebook team, we don't let new members see what we have
scheduled. We don't want the old party facebook pages to know what's coming
and create a counterstrategy. It seems that making a strategic document
with the importance of this one open to the public would be a thousand
times more unstrategic.

Our goal is to cut government to advance individual freedom, prosperity,
and greatness. That does not necessitate our acting like the government we
want. After, all, if we wanted the LNC to act like the ideal federal
government, our job, and Nick's job, would not be to be open and
transparent.

It would be to fire everyone and quit.

I urge you to remember that strategy works when the other side doesn't know
the strategy. This contract is open to every LNC member as long as they do
not disclose the content, just like our employment contracts and executive
meeting contents are. To be frank, I'd much rather the DNC or RNC know
Wes's or Carla's salary, than to have them know the details of our joint
strategy with the Johnson campaign.

I intend to vote against this motion.
