[Lnc-business] Seeking co-sponsors

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I’ll get the ballot started shortly since the chair expedited.

Good thing no one said national chairs shouldn’t compare ballot access to
the persecution of black folks.  I mean that would be outrageously
unforgivable.

Needless to say I will be voting no.  We can’t affirm property rights but
want to assuage our latent white guilt by passing judgment on a repented of
act over three decades ago.

We are the party of redemption not self-righteous mobs.
