[Lnc-business] Motion to suspend for cause

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

That wording at first read is agreeable to me.  I am still waiting word
from a few state chairs.  I will pass along this suggested language to them.

        suspension.
        Since the Platform references in my previous draft were not
     agreeable
        to all the potential supporters of a motion for suspension, I'll
     ask
        for co-sponsors for the following instead.

        Whereas, Bylaw Article 6.7 states that the National Committee
     may, for
        cause, suspend any officer by a vote of 2/3 of the entire
     National
        Committee;
        Whereas, Vice Chair Arvin Vohra’s public discourse has repeatedly
        included inflammatory and insulting remarks which bring the
     Party, its
        candidates, and its principles into disrepute;
        Whereas Mr. Vohra’s remarks have destructively stereotyped party
        members and large segments of the population, a behavior
     completely at
        odds with our Party’s philosophy of recognizing and treating
     people as
        individuals;
        Whereas, Mr. Vohra’s stated intent is to cause internal division,
     and
        his comments have caused wide-spread offense; and
        Whereas, the result is that the LNC, its committees, and Party
        affiliates are distracted from productive activities;
        Therefore, be it resolved, that the Libertarian National
     Committee
        suspends Arvin Vohra for cause from his position as LNC Vice
     Chair; and
        Furthermore, we disavow and repudiate Mr. Vohra’s comments as
     being
        unrepresentative of the Libertarian National Committee.
