[Lnc-business] Resolution Affirming The Value of Military Members In And Out Of The LP

Fri May 19 19:26:29 EDT 2017

If you get more than 2-3 people crafting this resolution it will take
forever to get done.  Passing
it by Email ballot will add enough time that any positive impact would be
wasted.

This ill conceived tirade by a prominent party officer has directly
affected our convention committee
today with the resignation of a key volunteer, Danielle Snitker from not
only the committee but also
from the party after 17 years.

Be short, be blunt and be sensible to those who want to move this party
forward.
