<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS, prior to and during the 2016 election campaign
season, political polling organizations routinely excluded the Libertarian
Party presidential ticket from inclusion or equal footing in the first question
with respect to presidential preference;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS, these and other political polling organizations
also routinely excluded Libertarian Party candidates for offices nationwide
from inclusion and/or equal footing in their respective races;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS, various political polls have been shown to exclude
key demographics from their results and these exclusions unfairly skew these
results which are provided to the public;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS; the exclusion of a candidate from equal footing in
a polling question is not the same as a
ballot which does include all candidates in the same question, and
therefore this exclusion cannot possibly present an accurate portrayal of the
anticipated ending result of an election;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS, political polls influence the results of an
election, as these polls are used to determine the inclusion of candidates in
the most high profile of political debates and forums for many races, as well
as gauging popular support;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS, many people view the level of public support of a
candidate as a contributing factor for casting their vote, and a candidate
excluded from equal footing in the polls is at an unfair disadvantage in this
regard;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS, due to these circumstances, it is imperative that
pollsters are held to the highest standard of honesty, integrity, inclusiveness
and accuracy in results provided to the public;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS, other organizations have targeted their attempts at
countering the corruption of the Commission for Presidential Debates, but not
to the pollsters specifically;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">WHEREAS, The Truth in Polling Coalition has developed and is
implementing a plan to expose and counteract the exclusionary and manipulative
actions of pollsters, thereby resulting in more complete information and
options being presented to the voting public, hence a level playing field for
all legitimate candidates;<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian National Committee
hereby supports and endorses the efforts of the Truth in Polling Coalition in
their fight to include Libertarian candidates in a position of equal footing
for future elections nationwide.<span></span></p>
