[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2017-16: Joe Buchman Donation

Yes, I'm working on a motion to create a Candidate Support Committee to be
tasked with first
developing a set of guidelines (subject to LNC approval) for LNC
contributions to individual
candidates other than POTUS.  Once the guidelines are approved the
committee will submit
a proposed budget as a new line item for the 2018 LNC Budget then will
administer the distribution
of funds.  The Committee might also be tasked with supporting  the new
Candidate Support Specialist
position, if we so choose.

Any ideas about motion formulation will be appreciated.

Live Free,
