[Lnc-business] Resignation from the LNC

[Arvin Vohra]

Mr. McKnight,

I'm sorry to see you resign, and hope we'll be able to work together in the
future. Respectfully, I do find it hard to fully understand the comment
about infighting, given that you have often, in the past, been the person
generating said infighting on the LNC at least. If you are willing, I would
be interested in understanding to what you are referring. Are you
classifying all fighting as infighting, or do you mean infighting among the
entire libertarian movement, or infighting on the LNC?

In liberty,

Arvin

   Mr. McKnight,
   I'm sorry to see you resign, and hope we'll be able to work together in
   the future. Respectfully, I do find it hard to fully understand the
   comment about infighting, given that you have often, in the past, been
   the person generating said infighting on the LNC at least. If you are
   willing, I would be interested in understanding to what you are
   referring. Are you classifying all fighting as infighting, or do you
   mean infighting among the entire libertarian movement, or infighting on
   the LNC?

     negativity to
        have meaningful discourse with the vast majority of Americans not
     yet
        members of the LP. This is the only way to grow the party and
     spread
        our principles. Unfortunately, I no longer think these goals are
        achievable as a member of the LNC.
        The constant, counterproductive infighting is exhausting. Being
     an
        effective leader isn't about calling people insulting names or
     being
        offensive. Being a leader is about inspiring others to live up to
     their
        fullest potential. It's about having empathy and people skills.
     We
        should be trying to win supporters instead of winning arguments.
        At this moment we could be focused on more important issues like
     the
        relentless erosion of civil liberties, the growing national debt,
     and
        foreign policy. The fact we have to keep addressing
     self-inflicted
        messaging wounds again and again is extremely disappointing.
        I continue to believe we should work to spread the message of
     liberty
        to all Americans. But we should do so out of a spirit of love for
     peace
        and freedom. I want to inspire people, not insult them. Sadly,
     this
        approach does not appear to be shared by the majority of the LNC.
        As such, I respectfully resign as Region 8 Representative
     effective
        immediately. I will continue to focus on spreading the message of
        liberty in New Jersey.
        Region 8 plans to select a replacement Rep and Alternate by the
     end of
        February.
        In Liberty,
