[Lnc-business] Email Ballot 2018-03: Censure of Arvin Vohra

[Alicia Mattson]

Words matter, and this is a perfect example of someone who might support a
generic concept of censure having to oppose the details of the motion
wording.

Censure (and more) is warranted here, however, I cannot vote for a motion
which claims the outrageous comments which were made by Mr. Vohra are
"libertarian ideas", and that our leaders and candidates are trying to win
hearts and minds for those ideas espoused by Mr. Vohra, just stated in a
different way.

Our platform says "consenting adults" and that our recognition of parental
roles does not condone abuse.  Our platform does not say, "If your having
sex leads to kids that you can't afford, and we have to pay for, please
don't have sex.  Else: not our business."  Etc.

I still seek cosponsors for yesterday's proposed wording of a motion for
suspension.

I will formally cast my vote on this motion later, as timing may matter if
there is to be an electronic meeting.
