[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2018-19: AGREE TO "JC" DECISIONS

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

It is better than having zero protection at all for the members.  And
IF after making this agreement, anyone who voted to then renege I
would hope would not be re-elected.  This "JC" has already submitted
it appellate rules.

Our Party structure NEVER imagined an unaccountable LNC.
