perhaps a majority of the LNC do not feel that an apology, or even an
expression of regret is appropriate in regards to either group claiming to be the
LPO.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Those that do are free to
apologize, express their regrets, or get down on their knees and beg
forgiveness if they want to.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></font></font></div>

us believe that the members of the convention are the most important
arbitrators of our bylaws and the LNC should take no action that conflicts with
their decisions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If someone thinks that
the convention acted improperly, their appropriate remedy <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">w</font>ould be an appeal
or other complaint to our JC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The LNC
doesn’t have the authority to act contrary to the convention.<o:p></o:p></font></font></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;"><font face="Calibri"><font size="3"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Passing
either of the Oregon motions will not resolve the situation, only complicate
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are at least two paths forward
to a unified LPO.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One is my proposal
that the competing chairmen both resign voluntarily and the remaining officers
of both groups hold a special convention to elect a new, undisputed LPO group
of officers. The other would be for the LNC to accept the decision of the
Oregon JC that the Reeves group is the legitimate LPO.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I favor the second solution, as it gives the
most respect to the state party.<o:p></o:p></font></font></div>

Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that “delegates to a Regular Convention shall be selected by a method adopted by each affiliate party” (Article 11, 3 (b)), and<br>
<br>
Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that “each state-level affiliate party shall, in accordance with its own Bylaws and these Bylaws, determine who shall be its delegates to all Regular Conventions.” (Article 6, 3), and<br>
<br>
Whereas, the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party state that “the autonomy of the affiliate and sub-affiliate parties shall not be abridged by the National Committee or any other committee of the Party…” (Article 6, 5), and<br>
<br>
Whereas the Chair of the National Convention incorrectly ruled that it was in order for the convention to vote to seat three delegates in the Oregon delegation over the objection of the affiliate party chair, and<br>
<br>
Whereas the motion made did not challenge the report of the Credentials Committee as to who was the affiliate party chair, and<br>
<br>
Whereas the convention delegates subsequently voted to seat those delegates over the objection of the delegate chair,<br>
<br>
Be it resolved that the Libertarian National Committee apologizes to the Libertarian Party of Oregon for the erroneous ruling of the National Convention Chair.</div>
