<div dir="ltr"><div>Do we yet feel we have certainty about what we legally can donate to the Mark Miller campaign for RR Commission in TX? Did we get a response from Paula Edwards about it?<br><br>I just want to summarize what I think the status is of two potential motions on the subject of donating to Mark Miller's campaign.<br><br></div>There was MOTION 1:<br><br>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:40px">I move an email ballot to have the LNC contribute $5,000 to
the Mark Miller campaign in Texas,
and $15,000 to the Libertarian Party of Texas, with the proviso that the entire
$15,000 be used to support the Mark Miller campaign, and this entire motion
with the proviso that it is legal for the LNC to do this.</p>

Goldstein said he was willing to co-sponsor something but thought the motion should specify a budget line, so that seemed to be wanting a different motion. Then the maker of the motion, Daniel Hayes, suggested perhaps we ditch both motions and donate $20k directly to the campaign.<br><br></div><div>If we have clarity on the legal environment, there is a pool of people here (including myself) who are ready to co-sponsor something.<br><br></div><div>The clock is ticking towards election day.<br><br></div><div>-Alicia<br><br></div></div>
