[Lnc-business] Someone waging copy pasta campaign

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I posted this on my social media wall

Someone is waging a copy pasta email bombardment to the LNC. You do realize
that we have personal lives? I LOVE getting personally composed emails from
members, and I respond to each and every one personally. But a copy pasta
impersonal email will have the opposite effect you wish. Here is the
current copy pasta. If you know the source, please tell them that they are
only accomplishing annoying people. Please do encourage people to write,
but ask them to write their own personal email not spam us with copy pasta.

====Libertarian National Committee Member,

Our Party faces a difficult choice. Our National Convention is currently in
limbo, and with it the entirety of Platform and Bylaw changes, LNC
elections, and our Presidential nominations.

Due to the health risks presented to our delegates, committee members,
activists, donors, and candidates, as well as the substantial Presidential
campaign downsides that receiving a nomination as late as July would bring,
I ask you to support measures for transitioning the National Convention to
a digital medium that can be participated in remotely as soon as is
reasonably possible.

Thank you,

To save time, here is my copy pasta response:

Our bylaws do not permit that and bylaws can only be changed at an
in-person convention. However, and argument can be made for the P/VP
nominations sheerly electronic due to filing deadlines, and I will be
supporting that with the rest of the convention in person as required by
our bylaws.

If you want a personal response, respect the LNC enough to write a personal
email. No one respects spam.
