[Lnc-business] The anti-socialism resolution

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

Yes, this. ^

Caryn Ann has repeatedly used that of type language.  Baiting language.  
On Monday she wrote:

"Does any LNC member want to defend unity with the below?  The 
membership deserves to know if you do."
-
"Anyone who has an issue with that may want to consider if they are in 
the correct Party."
-
"No unity with these. anyone who wants unity with these statements, 
identify yourselves. The membership deserves to know."
--------------------

That's just a few emails from Monday!  Yes, it's an either you're with 
us, or against us.  Which is BS.
