[Lnc-business] Apologies

[Richard Longstreth]

Wow. I am so sorry to hear this and I urge any member of the LNC if they
know anything to be forthcoming. Craig is running a fantastic campaign and
we need to support him. I hope this isn't true but I fear it may be. I'm a
saddened by this news.

     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
