[Lnc-business] Concerns on Party messaging and the LP.org site

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

Party of Principle is noted in many non-LP sources as the official party
slogan - anyone know if and where this is noted officially?

Losing it from the site masthead without express warrant from the LNC is -
to me - beyond a subcommittee decision.

I like what you did with that Wes
