<p>The Libertarian Party including its candidates for President have
a long history of embracing the U.S. Constitution and Declaration
of Independence.</p>
<p>Go to LP.org and search for either term. Here are a few examples:</p>

<p>Libertarian Candidates, and other organizations like the
libertarian Cato Institute are known for their activism handing
out pocket copies of the Constitution and Declaration of
Independence.<br>
</p>
<p>I have plenty of disagreements with the Constitution and
Declaration of Independence.</p>
<p>While what Caryn Ann has written below about the bylaws is
correct, I don't think it's a big surprise or a huge mistake that
someone would describe the Libertarian Party in the terms used in
this brief.</p>
<p>I would not have described the party the way it was described in
that brief, but I think it's probably okay the way it is for this
particular instance.</p>
<p>There's hardly any brochure, press release, platform plank,
bylaw, or legal contract, where we all agree on the acceptable
wording. <br>
</p>
<p>If we spend too much time perfecting wording in certain areas, or
holding meetings to get consensus on what still will probably be
less than perfect wording, that could cause us to get a smaller
amount of overall work done.</p>
<p>I realize there's a balance between getting things right, and
getting more done. We don't want a lot of sloppy work getting
produced by the party. But, we also want to coordinate with others
where we can and do it efficiently. This brief is an example of
where we have an opportunity to make a small difference and it's
worth a small effort, but probably not worth laboring over too
much. <br>
</p>
<p>The more time our Counsel and Chair spend wordsmithing something
like this, and having multiple meetings about it, the less time
they have to work on the next opportunity (or the long list of "to
do's" that already exists). <br>
</p>
<p>I think we'll all pay more attention to the first paragraph of
these types of briefs in the future. <br>

<div>Oliver I see the language taking that middle ground
and I think your reasoning is correct. Focusing on the more
narrow in this particular factual instance does not exclude the
broader nor give any hint of excluding the broader. Sometimes
focusing on the narrow does (for instance people who are
convinced that only income taxation is unjust force because that
is what we focus on in our Platform though since day one we have
put out material against all taxation), in this particular
situation, I don't think it has that unfortunate result.

<div>However, there is a blatant incorrect fact in the opening
paragraphs. The Libertarian Party was not founded to promote
the principles of liberty set forth in the Declaration of
Independence and United States Constitution. Our bylaws
address this specifically that we exist to promote the
principles in our Statement of Principles which mentions
neither document. Yes there is a lot of overlap, particularly
with the Declaration of Independence, but there is
disjunction- particularly in some views of the Constitution.
I would say that representing us in that manner violates what
our bylaws say about our purpose to wit:</div>

<p>Greetings,</p>
<p>Please find attached a PDF of the amicus
brief as filed on behalf of the Libertarian
National Committee in <i>Husted v. A. Philip
Randolph Institute</i>, No. 16-980.</p>
<p>After the executive committee meeting
addressing this matter, I reviewed the draft
brief and sent a lengthy list of comments and
corrections, including those I received from
committee members, to our counsel from Wilmer
Hale. I also discussed these concerns with
counsel by telephone. I believe the changes
the firm made to address committee members'
concerns are acceptable, although in some
cases I would have preferred different
wording. I have included detailed notes on
several of those changes below, to provide a
sense of how the concerns raised were
addressed in the final draft. <br>
</p>
<p>I wanted to address one point in particular:
the Wilmer team thought it important to
indicate that principled non-voting is not the
same as an anarchist's complete abstention
from the process. Therefore, although I had
suggested replacing any mention of not voting
in "a single election cycle" with more general
language referencing "abstaining from the
electoral process," the Wilmer team tried to
chart a middle path between those two options.
I agreed that was an appropriate strategy,
since we are only arguing for a constitutional
right not to vote based upon the choices, or
lack thereof, in particular election cycles,
and not necessarily the constitutional right
not to vote under any and all circumstances.
<br>
</p>
<p>I know that committee members were not
pleased with how little time the committee had
to review and approve this brief. That is
understandable. It should not have happened.
In the future, I will make sure it doesn't. <br>
</p>
<p>Thank you and I hope this final draft meets
your approval.<br>
</p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
