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

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

The LPNV cannot discharge the relationship we have by virtue of the
donation.  Punting this to NV- in my view- is failing to hold accountable
for our investment and betrayal of trust to principles.  Most of us voted
because we wanted to encourage actual Libertarians coming from old
parties.  While I too reject the binary described above, the metric we have
is clear votes.  Our reasons were public record and they were betrayed.
