<div dir="ltr">I would like to pass on this message from Region 1 member Craig Bowden:<div><br></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">Caryn Ann,</span><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I saw that there was a thread on establishing a committee to set guidelines for the LNC to support candidates other than President. I want to express my support for this to be established. There has been debate over a few candidates in 2017 asking for support. The primary concern for opposition has been that there is no established criteria for support of such measures.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I would implore that this matter be brought up as soon as possible and moved on so that we can effectively establish the needed guidelines to streamline the process. When we focus too much on debating the lack of criteria, we lose focus on other pressing issues.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">We need to establish not only the guidelines that will put most debate aside, but also should have established a budget for candidates that fit the bill for support from the LNC. That way we can make sure to not lose sight of important things such as ballot access should we become over extended. Having a budget item for this needs to be included.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">I would be happy to apply for the committee to assist once it has been established through the LNC to provide advice and knowledge of a good set for guidelines, as I have been responsible for setting up similar guidelines as President of a Political Action Committee.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">In Liberty,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Craig Bowden</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Weber County</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jul 30, 2017 at 8:37 AM, Sam Goldstein <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:goldsteinatlarge@gmail.com" target="_blank">goldsteinatlarge@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">Tim,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for your constructive criticism!
