[Lnc-business] Libertarian National Committee Resolution on Military Members in the Libertarian Party

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I am giving my state chairs time to object in a majority which I seriously
seriously doubt but I want to give them some time.  It will probably have
enough sponsorships by the time I hear back.  Since I assisted in the
writing, and I support public policy resolutions in general as my history
this term demonstrates, I am personally in favour, but would like to gauge
the will of my Chairs.
