<pre>I make a motion to suspend Arvin Vohra from his position as Vice Chair under Article 6, Section 7 of our Bylaws.
___________________________________________________________________________________________</pre>
<pre>Three of the four state affiliate chairs in Region 3 are now backing this motion. I told Region 3 that I'd need at least 3/4 of the region in accord to make the motion to suspend Arvin. That percent was reached last night.
When I volunteered my time and energy to be a Regional Rep on the LNC, I didn't do it under the circumstances of, "only if convenient". </pre>
<pre>I'm doing this because I care about giving a voice to the many LP members who are running for office, getting out the vote, and spending their hard-earned money working toward electing libertarians. </pre>
<pre>These are the people that make up the Libertarian Party. It is their voice that I represent.
So, it is with calm resolve that I make this motion. </pre>
