<br>
Motion:
<br>
<br>
<br>
*Whereas *governmental bodies in the ongoing COVID-19 crisis have stepped
<br>
beyond their rightful powers, and
<br>
<br>
<br>
*Whereas *no person or organization can claim to hold the principles of
<br>
liberty in times of peace and plenty who does not hold them as firmly in
<br>
times of emergency,
<br>
<br>
<br>
*Be it therefore resolved *that the Libertarian National Committee make
<br>
known its opposition to tyranny in humanitarian’s clothing, affirming that:
<br>
<br>
<br>
No "emergency," whether declared or undeclared, shall be used as a pretext
<br>
or justification for the limitation of any of the rights and freedoms of
<br>
the individual, or for the expansion of the powers of government or any of
<br>
its agencies, representatives, or member institutions.
<br>

communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas. If anyone
