[Lnc-business] Appeal the ruling of the chair

[Steven Nekhaila]

I co-sponsor as well. I also implore the regions that have not submitted 
paperwork to take advantage of election buddy and Zoom to hold their 
caucuses online if they wish to do so.

Perhaps someone would like to adopt the region zero states? Alabama and 
FL have forged an uncanny informal alliance during these times.

In Liberty,

Steven Nekhaila
Region 2 Representative
Libertarian National Committee

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