[Lnc-business] Seeking Co-Sponsors for Resolution to Re-Affirm The LP's Stance For Property Rights

[john.phillips at lp.org]

I disagree.
 And since I am sitting here looking at a quote from mr Nolan stating that we should unequivocally welcome people from across the political spectrum despite your arguments that he would not, I will disregard your statements on that subject as well.
Good day.

There is nothing that goes outside the platform.

   I probably would have gone along with the first.  This one is toxic and

   the language clearly meant to be be a purge.

   If it was just a supporting of property rights I would absolutely

   support it.  This is far more than that, and honestly far exceeds the

   scope of the duties of this body.  It is a direct change to policy

   seriously impacts current members and activists.

   If you want a platform change take it to Austin. That is not our job.

   I will be voting no on this, and urge everyone else to seriously

   consider whether they support a precedent of purging groups.  Not to

   mention how many of you during the JC discussion were treading very

   carefully about not exceeding our scope, a point that was well taken

   after reflection, will you be consistent here?

   The LP's Stance For Property Rights

Dear Colleagues,



I invite you to co-sponsor the following resolution which disavows

socialist & communist policies and re-affirms the Libertarian Party

position on championing property rights.



Co-Sponsors: Joshua Smith, Justin O'Donnel, and Caryn Ann Harlos



WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party supports the free market and therefore

the right of privatization of property as an extension of the

individual;



WHEREAS, the Statement of Principles of The Libertarian Party explicitly

supports the right to private property ownership, including the right to

do business utilizing that property as capital;



WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party strongly supports the rights of

individuals to own private property including land, structures, natural

resources and other private space through homesteading, purchase, and

other lawful libertarian means;



WHEREAS, ownership of private property, including but not limited to

land and housing, does not require continual or personal use to exist as

justly owned property unless otherwise abandoned;



WHEREAS, these have been part of the principles of the Libertarian Party

since its inception;



THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that socialist and communist property

ownership schemes, including the collectivization of property, unlawful

usurpation of property, and incorrect characterizations of private

property, unless otherwise voluntarily agreed by all parties, are

incompatible with the philosophy of the Libertarian Party.





In Liberty,



Steven Nekhaila

Region 2 Representative

Libertarian National Committee



Impotentes defendere libertatum non possunt

"Those without power cannot defend freedom"
