[Lnc-business] Question re: online media

[Joshua Katz]

Or make a motion to avoid those accusations.  I think it's clear that it
would be improper for a committee to sell party assets and keep the money
without authorization from the board.  This is less clear.  I still think
it would be improper for a committee to make money off of party assets and
not return the money to the party without board authorization.  If we had a
coal crushing committee, and the committee turned coal into diamonds, it
couldn't then sell the diamonds without returning the money to the party.

   Or make a motion to avoid those accusations.  I think it's clear that
   it would be improper for a committee to sell party assets and keep the

     do you hate him so?
     Point being Caryn Ann, handle it how you see fit.  Be totally
     transparent.  People will accuse you of doing wrong no matter how
     earnest you are in handling this. Be ready for that. In the meantime
     we look forward to the extra $50/year.
     Just be very careful exactly what you promise to the Party.  Don’t
     overpromise.  Maybe Steemit becomes a big thing and the Pink Flame
     of Liberty takes off.  Keep what you promise the Party focused on
     what came from the Party.
