[Lnc-business] BALLOT 190203-1 Immigration Resolution

[Jeff Lyons - LNC (8A)]

Mr. ODonnell abstains, I second everything he said and vote No. 




     There are better ways to support the fundraising mission and draw attention to our platforn and ideas than by participating in the Two-Party circus.  This debate on "The Wall" is hotly contested by the radically partisan for the sake of partisanship, it is largely symbollic and theatric, and I think it's a huge distraction from real issues.  It is a volatile and counter-productive topic to engage in. 




     Lets focus on promoting our own ideas and debates, not participating in the ones the Olde Parties and their media controls.  Let's stop attempting to do this through superficial resolutions.  Lets focus on building the party infrastructure that we will need to support thousands of Libertarian candidates in 2020, including what should be the largest and most successful Presidential campaign we have ever fielded.

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.
