[Lnc-business] Apologies

[Craig Bowden]

To All:

I must apologies to everyone. The last few days I have been bitter and 
argumentative with several of you. A couple of times in this forum and 
others through other communication platforms.

I have allowed something to become personal, and while it cuts deep, I 
should have addressed it in a better way.

I had originally planned on not blowing the whistle on this issue and 
using it to some sort of advantage in the future, but I do not want to 
be the next Frank Underwood (House of Cards).

It has come to my attention that there is an element within our party 
that is actively working to recruit Mitt Romney to the Libertarian 
Party. That we are seeking him out during an election in which there is 
a Libertarian candidate facing him, and he is one of the least 
Libertarian politicians out there right now.

I was informed this was one of the reasons why Bill Weld would not 
endorse my candidacy. Because we had to be "politically correct" and not 
rock that boat.

I find this beyond disturbing and I am not going to stay silent on this 
any longer. Screw the boat. It is going to get rocked.

It is part of why I have felt resentful toward others because I do not 
know who to trust. I do not know who this individual(s) is trying to go 
behind the back of a Libertarian candidacy, but it would have to be 
someone at a higher level doing the negotiating to try to bring him in.

Part of trust is that I also need to communicate with people who are on 
the same team, so that is what I am doing today.

I apologize if I have offended anyone in the wake of trying to deal with 
this.

Respectfully,
Craig Bowden
