[Lnc-business] Lee Wrights

[James Lark]

Dear colleagues:

     I hope all is well with you.  My friend Mary Ruwart just informed 
me that Lee Wrights passed away early today.

     As you may know, Mr. Wrights served on the LNC as an at-large 
representative (during the 2002-2004 and 2008-2010 terms) and as 
vice-chair (during the 2004-2006 and 2012-2014 terms).  He also served 
on the Judicial Committee during the 2010-2012 term.  He may be best 
known for his candidacy for the 2012 LP presidential nomination.   In 
addition, he and Mike Bragg founded the web publication Liberty for 
All.  He was involved with several organizations in the liberty movement 
at the time of his passing.

     I remember meeting Mr. Wrights for the first time in early December 
2000, during my term as chair of the LNC.  I had traveled to Charlotte, 
North Carolina to meet with libertarians in the greater Charlotte area.  
Mr. Wrights drove from his home near Winston-Salem to attend the 
meeting.  His desire to see liberty triumph in our lifetime was palpable.

     Allow me to request cosponsors for the following motion:

     The Libertarian National Committee expresses its sorrow at the 
passing of Lee Wrights, and extends its condolences to his family and 
friends.  In addition, the LNC expresses its appreciation and gratitude 
for his work for liberty, and for his many years of service to the 
Libertarian Party.

     As always, thanks for your work for liberty.

     Take care,
     Jim
