I don't recall during my time on the LNC ever seeing such a long gap between when a motion is properly sponsored and posted and when the secretary sends out the announcement to begin voting on it. I realize we've been voting on another motion, but voting can be open on multiple motions concurrently. Will you please let us know when we can expect the announcement to begin balloting for this motion?</span></font><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Courier New'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br></span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Courier New'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">Love & Liberty,</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Courier New'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"> ((( starchild )))</span></font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="'Courier New'"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;">At-Large Representative, Libertarian National Committee</span></font></div><div><br><div><br><div>Begin forwarded message:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div style="margin-top: 0px;
