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

Sat May 20 01:35:25 EDT 2017

I would say to any member that believes it needs more work that Daniel put
out an open call for writers.... I took him up on it.  Anyone could have.
We all are very busy and have lives and stresses.  The non-inclusion of
something does not mean purposeful exclusion.  If I had thought of that,
and I am more than happy to share my discussions on my proposals which
proposed amendments that were accepted, I would have done so.

Let's please not stoke any more fires.

Yes, my desire is unity.
