<div>Patrick,</div>
<div> </div>

<div><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">On behalf of the request of members of my region I make a motion to suspend the Nomination of Johnson and Weld. The message I received is below.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> </span></div>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">"On September 13th at the regular business meeting of the LP Seacoast, a</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">motion was made and passed to contact you regarding the presidential ballot</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">of Gary Johnson and Bill Weld. The motion asked that you make a motion to</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">the LNC to suspend the nomination of both Gary Johnson and Bill Weld as</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">they do not uphold the principles of the Libertarian Party as both have</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">openly made statements in support of the use of force. Both candidates</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">actively avoid using the word libertarian and have demonstrated time and</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">time again an inability to even grasp what it means to be libertarian. Per</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Article 14, Section 5 of the LP bylaws, a candidate's nomination may be</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">suspended by a 3/4 vote of the entire membership of the National Committee</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">at a meeting. We understand that this motion has a low probability of</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">success, but we're asking you to show that there are some in the</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Libertarian Party who still hold principle above party. Do you have the</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">principle to stand with those who voice opposition to those without</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">principles? Will you put forth an effort on behalf of principled</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">libertarians or will you willingly step back, swallow your principle and</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">pump the party line? Is this still the "Party of Principle?" Members of</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">your region are speaking out and the ball is in your court. We will</span><br style="font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">patiently await your response.</span><br />
