[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2016-15: Censure John Moore

[Tim Hagan]

I vote no.

I am disappointed in both of John Moore's votes, and dissatisfied with his justification of the votes. However, I am satisfied that the state affiliate handled the situation. The affiliate publicly censured Assemblyman Moore, and instead of endorsing him like all other Libertarian candidates in its Voter Guide (www.lpnevada.org/voter_guide), they had the comment "The Libertarian Party of Nevada is extremely disappointed in Assemblyman Moore for voting yes on the taxpayer funded stadium and LPNevada has censured him because of his vote."

 Subject: [Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2016-15: Censure John Moore
  
We have an electronic mail ballot.

Votes are due to the LNC-Business list by October 31, 2016 at 11:59:59pm Pacific time.
 
Co-Sponsors:  Harlos, Demarest, Hayes, Vohra, Starchild, Goldstein, Redpath

Motion: 

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.


-Alicia
