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

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I have heard from a super-majority of the Region 1 Chairs and cast my vote
as yes.

However, there were concerns expressed by Montana about language that I
agreed to put on the record.  The "policeman" language, while it is in the
Platform,  might be seen to impugn a legitimate policing function of - as
1.9 says - assisting in the defense of persons who request assistance.
There might be another concern to be placed on the record about the use of
the word "corrupt" - if I am asked to, I will note them.
