[Lnc-business] Motion: Assemblyman Moore - request for co-sponsors

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Multiple party members including region 1 members have acted that the LNC
take action regarding Assemblyman Moore. While normally, I would say that
is solely an issue for the state party to handle, unless possibly, a
Federal candidate, but in this case, we spent National Party member's
direct monies, and thus I do agree this is our responsibility.  As someone
who advocated for the funds allocation, I believe it is my responsibility
to address this once members raised a concern:

*Whereas Nevada Assemblyman John Moore, a former Republican who in January
2016 switched to the Libertarian Party while in office, has during the past
month voted not once but twice in the span of as many days to raise taxes
on his constituents, including a vote to support a "More Cops" tax which
the Libertarian Party of Nevada has tirelessly and thus far successfully
opposed, and a vote to provide a $750 million subsidy to finance a
billionaire-owned sports stadium at the expense of, among others, indigent
persons renting weekly rooms in motels; and*

*Whereas the elected leaders of our state affiliate party in Nevada have
rightfully voted to censure Assemblyman Moore for these egregious votes;
and*

*Whereas we wish to convey a strong message to all and sundry that while we
welcome sitting legislators in the Republican or Democrat parties who
decide to switch to the Libertarian Party as an act of conscience,
we do not welcome them if they intend, as members of our party, to continue
voting and acting like Republicans or Democrats;*

*Therefore be it resolved that the Libertarian National Committee hereby
censures Assemblyman Moore for his recent votes in support of tax
increases, requests that he return the $10,000 campaign contribution which
the LNC this season voted to send him, and admonishes him to henceforward
be a better champion of the values held by members of the political party
with which he has chosen to affiliate if he intends to remain a
Libertarian.*
