[Lnc-business] Letter to all of the Presidential candidates

[Alicia Mattson]

Carla,

That's also my understanding of past campaigns.  However, the presidential
candidate letter the Chair forward to this list included the clause:

"The Presidential Campaign will share its list with the Libertarian Party
upon receiving the nomination, so the Libertarian Party can contact those
campaign supporters about joining the party;"

This clause is the basis for my comment.

-Alicia
