[Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 191229-1: Appeal from Ruling of the Chair

A sustaining membership requires a certification opposing the initiation of
force. Such a certification from the President was not made, so there can
be no sustaining membership from the President, even if someone else would
like to make a donation on his behalf to the Libertarian party.
