Thank you Caryn Ann, it was a pleasure to work with you as well.

I encourage everyone to check out this awesome Ted Talk on how successful
leaders inspire others through communication.

Region 8 is currently in the process of selecting our replacement Rep and
Alternate. I will let everyone know the results of this process once it is
completed.

Thanks,

             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,

                have meaningful discourse with the vast majority of
        Americans not

                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,
