<div dir="ltr">While I am sympathetic and would be inclined to vote yes and generally like to co-sponsor almost anything, I do not think my regional chairs want to be asked about another resolution on this topic at this time, so out of respect for their pretty clear sentiments last time, I cannot co-sponsor. If it gets enough co-sponsors and comes up for a vote, I will then poll my chairs, but right now they are weary and busy, and without a specific triggering event, I think I am respecting their wishes to sit it out unless it comes to a vote. <div><br></div><div>My personal advice: revisit this at some other time. Though I know Facebook is its own unique microcosm, we need a uniting event not another polarizing one. I am sure Mr. Trump will give us plenty of opportunities to issue strident resolutions. I love me some strident resolutions. It just isn't the time and I know I differ from other regional representatives in this, I try to honour the wishes of my state chairs unless my conscience really compels me otherwise. <br><div><br></div><div>-Caryn Ann</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 31, 2017 at 5:23 PM, Arvin Vohra <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:votevohra@gmail.com" target="_blank">votevohra@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px">I am seeking cosponsors for the following draft motion:</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px"><br></p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px">Whereas The U.S. spends more on military than the next 8 nations combined</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px">Whereas, involvement in NATO has caused the U.S. to build a military much larger than what is needed for defense</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px">Whereas, current military policy has destabilized regions and lead to blowback and contributed to terrorist recruitment</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px">Whereas, trade has been able to stop problematic ideologies when violence could not, as has happened in Vietnam</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px">Whereas current military policy has misused many well meaning individuals for purposes other than defense against aggression often as parts of attempts to act as the world’s policeman</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px">Resolved, The Libertarian National Committee rejects and repudiates the current U.S. military policy of overreach, world policing, and nation building; demands that the U.S. military immediately shut down all foreign military bases, cease involvement in foreign conflicts, end all current foreign military operations, and bring the troops home; demands that military spending and employment, if any, be reduced to the level necessary only for defense; demands immediate U.S. withdrawal from NATO; and demands an end to all trade sanctions.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:rgb(29,33,41);font-size:14px">In Liberty,</p><p style="font-size:12.8px;margin:6px 0px 0px;display:inline">Arvin Vohra<br><font color="#1d2129" face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Vice Chair</span></font><br><font color="#1d2129" face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:14px">Libertarian Party</span></font></p><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="m_-5994913504263605989gmail_signature">Arvin Vohra<br><br><a href="http://www.VoteVohra.com" target="_blank">www.VoteVohra.com</a><br><a href="mailto:VoteVohra@gmail.com" target="_blank">VoteVohra@gmail.com</a><br><a href="tel:(301)%20320-3634" value="+13013203634" target="_blank">(301) 320-3634</a></div>
