[Lnc-business] status of motions for donation to Mark Miller campaign

Texas law also sets no limit. The LNC can give $20k directly to the campaign.

Do we yet feel we have certainty about what we legally can donate to the Mark Miller campaign for RR Commission in TX?  Did we get a response from Paula Edwards about it?

I just want to summarize what I think the status is of two potential motions on the subject of donating to Mark Miller's campaign.

There was MOTION 1:


I move an email ballot to have the LNC contribute $5,000 tothe Mark Miller campaign in Texas,and $15,000 to the Libertarian Party of Texas, with the proviso that the entire$15,000 be used to support the Mark Miller campaign, and this entire motionwith the proviso that it is legal for the LNC to do this.




This motion was co-sponsored by Redpath,Marsh, Vohra




Then Daniel Hayes said we should wait until we get some clarity on the laws, so people held off.




There was MOTION 2:

This motion was co-sponsored by Hayes, Harlos, and Bittner.  Goldstein said he was willing to co-sponsor something but thought the motion should specify a budget line, so that seemed to be wanting a different motion.  Then the maker of the motion, Daniel Hayes, suggested perhaps we ditch both motions and donate $20k directly to the campaign.

If we have clarity on the legal environment, there is a pool of people here (including myself) who are ready to co-sponsor something.

The clock is ticking towards election day.
