[Lnc-business] Project

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I will re-iterate what I said on Facebook.  There are certainly areas in
which I think we need a cold hard look at things--however, a lot of this is
dependent on the candidate. The LNC does not direct the candidates, and as
such, I am not sure this is the best use of our money. Further, the
"messaging" part concerns me, and without serious parameters, I am not
interested in using member money for outsiders to tell Libertarians they
need to be less Libertarian. As worded, I would not support.  If it focused
more on sheer mechanics, and laid out that messaging needs to be within our
Statement of Principles (as per our Bylaws - for which I see no mention or
concern here), I would oppose. Strongly.
