[Lnc-business] Looking for sponsors: Miami Meeting

[brent.olsen at lp.org]

I noticed his message stating the meeting would be in Miami.  I just 
didn't say anything...  But since it was brought up, I do think that the 
LNC should determine the location and also I feel that those of us in 
the West have had to travel an awful lot to the East. I would prefer 
something more like what the Libertarian Party of California Executive 
Committee does where they rotate meetings between Northern, Central, and 
Southern California.  But I also see the value of meetings being in at 
Headquarters.
