I'm copying your reply below to the LNC list. It's your call, but I think hearing a few words from the Libertarian Party leadership could be encouraging/inspirational to folks. I'm not suggesting any kind of aggressive pitch (I don't much like that kind of thing myself!), more just sharing a few words along the lines of, "Thanks for doing this, we're in solidarity with you, here's what else you can do if you want to support Gary's party and the cause of freedom." </div><div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>There's also a chance that Gary Johnson's campaign manager will be at our meeting and able to join on the call.
