[Lnc-business] EMAIL BALLOT 200513-1 MOTION TO RESCIND MAY 9 MOTION DESCRIBED BELOW

[Caryn Ann Harlos]

I disagree with your assessment and that’s okay.  Last night’s test caused
even more issues and the comments and hostilities over that made me disable
Facebook.

This online convention scheme is going to create a division far worse than
Portland.  Ten years from now it will still be going.

There is only one thing I know we can do well.  Simple ballotting.

But whatever happens happens.

But I can’t support this gross violation of members rights and trading
rights for peace is an abdication.

If this suicide route is what the LNC chooses, it has the right to do so.
To claim it us for peace is a farce I won’t let go unchallenged.

If it happens I will do my best to minimize rights violations that I can by
making things smoother.

But to sell member rights and call it peace is something you can tell
yourself.  I can’t.

I can only hope states take the bull by the horns and plan to protect their
own member rights the best they can. It is impossible to protect them fully
in such context.

And for everyone who cares about the member rights of the older members,
try listening to what they are saying on this.

To keep heading to a cliff is as foolish as thinking cutting Solomon's baby
in two is a good compromise.  I can't lie to myself like that.

Or to use another biblical analogy, we are selling the birthright of
members for a mess of pottage and thinking ourselves righteous.
