<u>Motion:</u><br>
<br>
Whereas, The Arizona state government's new statute increasing
the signature requirements for Libertarians and other
alternative party candidates to appear on primary ballots in
Arizona by as much as 20-fold or more is clearly unfair,
burdensome, at odds with legal precedent, and
unconstitutional; and<br>
<br>
Whereas, Plaintiffs have limited resources and could use
additional legal support in fighting to overturn this unjust
statute, especially if the federal district court ruling goes
against them and an appeal is necessary;<br>
<br>
Resolved, That the Libertarian National Committee allocates
$5,000 from its "legal offense" budget line to be used in the
event of an appeal from the District Court's ruling in AZ
Libertarian Party v. Reagan, and directs its staff and chair
to reach out to groups such as the American Civil Liberties
Union, the Landmark Legal Foundation, the Pacific Legal
Foundation, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the American
Center for Law and Justice, and other alternative political
parties, to invite them to file amicus curiae briefs with the
court or otherwise provide support to the plaintiffs in the
aforementioned case, and to publicize the matter on a national
scope if feasible.<u><br>
