Our valuable property - this Party and its ballot access and its reputation are being exploited and sullied.    Our duty is to protect the Party.    We got all lathered up over something we can't stop - people using the words "Libertarian Party" and sit on our hands while our Party is being used as a vehicle for ideas that are evil.

I have no problem with AnComs, Mutualists, etc offering their support from the outside with clearly defined ideological lines, but I have a very serious problem with socialist entryism from within the Party. Those who are satisfied with socialism within the LP are not defending liberty. We are diametrically opposed forces, while we may parellel statists up to a certain point, we are not the same.

   If someone would like to take the lead on a resolution I will support

   It is high time.  Plans are already being laid to trojan horse in
   socialism in 2020 as it was soundly defeated in 2018 (and part of the
   reason that our elections were screwed up).  Now that there is an
   acting judicial committee, let the socialists appeal if they think we
   are not a socialist party.
   IT IS TIME TO TAKE A STAND.
