[Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 190906-1 RESOLUTION ON DREAM AND PROMISE ACT

[Steven Nekhaila]

I vote NAY. While resolutions are an important tool to keep us on 
aligned on current issues and communicate that with our base. Until such 
time that we win elections in the House & Senate, I don't believe they 
do much to effect actual policy or communicate our message to outsiders.

As such, while we fight for the rights of immigrants, and with the 
poison in the well with this legislation, I cannot support a resolution.

In Liberty,

Steven Nekhaila
Region 2 Representative
Libertarian National Committee

Impotentes defendere libertatum non possunt
"Those without power cannot defend freedom"
