<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1478324904545_120749">I believe it was in 2010 that the LNC adopted "Minimum Government
- Maximum Freedom" which was championed by David Nolan. If
anything, I think to be in strict compliance with old LNC
directives, we probably would be required to have "Minimum
Government - Maximum Freedom" and not "The Party of Principle".
But I'm not certain on that. The LNC takes occasional votes or
makes directives on things over time that may have overturned that
old directive (which I think was from the LNC, but it's possible
it was just a directive from the chair. <br clear="none">

are using this website transition to forward an agenda --
whether that be removing content, re-branding the party,
moderating the LP's messaging, or whatever. Those changes
should be LNC level decisions. In the chaos of the website
transition, perhaps some people are hoping no one will
notice... and even if they do, it will be unclear who made
the decisions and who can be held accountable. Was it Kevin
Ludlow? Wes Benedict? Nick Sarwark? Someone else?</span></div>

up officially soon and may request it be on the December
agenda. Ditching our slogan in our masthead - who made that
decision? I believe that goes beyond the authority of a
committee and to heart of our messaging. Yes, "Party of
Principle" is in the About Page. But it is not front and
center in our masthead. <br clear="none">
