[Lnc-business] Seeking co-sponsors

[Joe Bishop-Henchman]

With whereas clauses:


Whereas, Virginia Governor Ralph Northam has belatedly acknowledged that 
he and another adult dressed in blackface and a Ku Klux Klan outfit, 
took a photo of this, and published this photo in his medical school 
yearbook spread in 1984, long after such conduct was even arguably 
acceptable; and

Whereas, engaging in actions that intimidate or threaten individuals on 
the basis of race should disqualify that person from holding any office 
of trust; and

Whereas, Governor Northam fails to understand the deep pain that such 
images evoke for many Americans; and

Whereas, the Libertarian Party condemns bigotry as irrational and 
repugnant; and

Whereas, many Virginia and national Democrats are demanding the 
resignation of their Party’s governor, and their national committee 
should put partisan loyalty aside and do the same; and

Whereas, Republicans should join this stand as well;

Therefore, be it resolved that the Libertarian National Committee calls 
upon the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National 
Committee to join us in condemning the behavior of Virginia Governor 
Ralph Northam and demanding his resignation.
