[Lnc-business] Seeking co-sponsors

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

For the record, I don't support any resolutions currently on our email 
list.

With that said, I'll point out that several people on this list aren't 
familiar with the details or facts of what Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam 
has said or done.  (see previous emails where some thought the "KKK" pic 
was from high school, but it was from college, etc.)

Now, Caryn Ann has mentioned not once, but twice, "infanticide 
comments".  I hope she knows what Northham said, because he didn't 
endorse or say anything that was about "infanticide".  Except to refute 
media twisting his words and making that accusation.
