<br>
I hope all is well with you. I am writing to offer some comments regarding the motion currently before us, and to offer my thanks to some of our colleagues for their fine work.<br>
<br>
1) In a separate message I shall vote "aye" on the motion concerning the IALP charter and the appointment of Geoff Neale as our representative to that body. While I believe there are reasonable questions concerning the charter, I do not believe there is a substantial danger to the LP if we become a Founding Member. In addition, it is fine with me for Mr. Neale to serve as our representative, especially given the amount of spadework he has done for the IALP.<br>
<br>
2) Please join me in offering thanks and congratulations to the following people (listed in alphabetical order of surname) for their fine outreach on behalf of the LP at the International Students For Liberty Conference in Washington, DC last weekend:<br>
<br>
Pranav Badhwar<br>
Andy Bakker<br>
Wes Benedict<br>
Chris Brookover<br>
John Buckley<br>
Jeff Carson<br>
Carla Howell<br>
Bob Johnston<br>
Robert Sarvis<br>
Bridget Ulrich<br>
Arvin Vohra<br>
<br>
I was able to help at our booth for brief periods at various times on Saturday, and I agree completely with Brett Bittner's assessment regarding the quality of their work.<br>
<br>
Allow me to offer special thanks to Mr. Benedict, Ms. Howell, and Mr. Johnston, who invested a great deal of time to conduct an excellent outreach effort. Also, please join me in thanking Robert Kraus and Casey Hansen, who helped to set up our booth at the conference. (I apologize if I have failed to recognize others who deserve thanks in this matter.)<br>
<br>
I believe you would be delighted to meet the young libertarians who attended the conference. The overwhelming majority of them are bright, talented, and energetic, as well as being very nice. I am pleased to report that once again I had the honor of addressing the conference. It was particularly nice to address the conference this year, as it is an anniversary year for me; 30 years ago I became heavily involved in libertarian outreach on college campuses. The growth of organizations such as Students For Liberty and Young Americans for Liberty is very encouraging, and I suspect the best is yet to come.<br>
<br>
As always, thanks for your work for liberty. I look forward to seeing you in Phoenix.<br>
<br>
Take care,<br>
Jim<br>
