[Lnc-business] An article that may be of interest to the members of the Libertarian National Committee

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

It is not a rumour.  I would object to you handing the gavel to Mr Merced
as you already have chaired this issue and should not have chaired this
issue from the beginning.

You are not being impartial.  You are grossly overstepping your bounds.

Your actions disrespect the will of the LNC and is entirely unlike you.  I
have also received some other troubling calls about pressure put on the CoC
that is improper and I’ve encouraged them to inform the LNC of these
actions.

EVH, I have a right and a duty to bring my concerns to this body.

It is not rumours.  I have spent hours on the phone this morning demanding
proof from people.

*In Liberty,*

* Personal Note:  I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome
(part of the autism spectrum).  This can affect inter-personal
communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas.  If anyone
found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux
pas), please contact me privately and let me know. *
