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

During our time on the LNC, Larry and I emphasized the
importance
of
messaging and communication. I want to transcend beyond
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,
Patrick McKnight
Chair, New Jersey Libertarian Party
