[Lnc-business] BALLOT 190203-1 Immigration Resolution

I vote yes.

While I think the body was wrong in its statements of such and such being
in the platform, retaliatory voting is childish and unless those folks now
post-hoc withdraw their support from the property resolution, disingenuous.


It is nonsense that time is wasted.  It gives our staff items to promote.
Our resolutions are used to fund-raise. The only time taken is the
Secretary’s and this Secretary doesn’t mind in the slightest.

An eye for an eye leaves both men blind.  Get your digs in during debate
but voting no because a prior resolution list is not appropriate.

Our members deserve better than revenge voting.
