[Lnc-business] Website/twitter concern

Caryn Ann,
I saw today that LPnational made a tweet stating that silence is consent.
The overall point of fighting back against the status quo is admirable, but
SILENCE IS NOT CONSENT!

I saw a screenshot, so I googled it, and it turns out the same phrasing is
on LP.org in the FAQ. Which is probably where the social media person got
it.

This is unacceptable wording to any libertarian for obvious reasons, and
politically disasterous messaging.

I hope this issue is dealt with swiftly and as delicately as possible. I
don't believe anyone at National actually believes what the tweet or faq
stated.

I would suggest replacing it with "In order for evil to flourish good men
must do nothing" or something along those lines.

Thank you,
Elijah
