<div dir="ltr">The promotion of a book is something that the Party has done before, I am specifically thinking of Dr. Ruwart's book. But is literal endorsement something that has been done before? I am trying to locate the exact quotes, but I know some members had some issues with some of the content that would make an actual endorsement problematic concerning a very non-standard usage of the word "anarchy" ("minimal government anarchism") and advocation of certain forms of taxation and absolute necessity for a state (disclaimer: I have not yet read it myself). There was also a facebook kerfuffle about some prior advertising images they used which anarchist members found divisive and belittling. I do not know if they are still using that advertising.<div><br></div><div>All that being said, I have no problem with us promoting books that represent a spectrum of views (as long as future offers from another end of the spectrum were considered), but am unclear what a literal Party endorsement would mean. Endorsing one "factional view" over an another does not seem wise, but promoting a book within the Libertarian umbrella seems fine and desirable.</div><div><br></div><div>I have not considered fully the ramifications of profit-sharing in promotion and whether that has been done before and any negative ramifications of that- hoping others will weight in that aspect.<br><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:12.8px">In Liberty,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Caryn Ann Harlos</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Region 1 Representative </div><div style="font-size:12.8px">(Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington)</div></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 4:31 PM, Whitney Bilyeu <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:whitneycb76@gmail.com" target="_blank">whitneycb76@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>If Mr. Barksdale's proposal were to be considered (and approved), could said royalty funds be <b>directed specifically</b> to either of the endeavors listed below?<br></div><div><br></div><div>1) To ensure ballot access for LP candidates in all states.</div><div>2) To hold a national convention for the purpose of electing Presidential and Vice Presidential nominees.</div><div><br></div><div>Whitney Bilyeu</div><div>LNC Region 7 Representative</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Wed, Jun 22, 2016 at 5:03 PM, Arvin Vohra <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:votevohra@gmail.com" target="_blank">votevohra@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote">Hi all, please consider the following proposal from Aaron Barksdale:<br>

<p>Mr. Vohra;</p>
<p>Aaron Barksdale, Chairman of the Libertarian Party of
Mississippi, here wanting to offer a proposal that is win-win for
the LP and myself. I am writing you using a personal e-mail

a book called <i>Libertarianism in a Nutshell</i>. Please review
the proposal enclosed and contact me if you have any questions or
counter offers or to proceed with the proposal. <br>
