<p>Well, I have decided this needs a bit of context on my vote; allow me to be petty and put it in resolution terms. <br /><br />WHEREAS: it is the purpose of libertarian philosophy to recognize the rights of the individual; and by relevant extension the accomplishments of the individual;<br />WHEREAS: aside from mere organization and outreach, it is the purpose of political committees and bodies such as the Board of Directors of the Libertarian Party of Illinois to pass meaningful resolutions furthering the broader philosophy of libertarianism, as well as resolutions recognizing the accomplishments of individuals who greatly contribute to the movement;<br />WHEREAS: it is pedantic and unbecoming to lament the mere presence of any resolution which does not advance subjective single-issue social or economic messaging as has been done in the past;<br />BE IT RESOLVED: I vote unequivocally <strong>Aye </strong>for this motion Dan Lewis has presented to recognize the accomplishments of Chair Redpath.<br /><br /><br />Mr. Secretary, will you have a spreadsheet available which lists out the vote totals?</p>
