A short reminder regarding decorum
by Nicholas Sarwark 29 Oct '19

29 Oct '19

Dear All, I expect that members of the Libertarian National Committee will disagree with each other with respect. I expect that after the Libertarian National Committee comes to a decision on an issue, be it the purchase of an office or the choice to make a goal a certain number of candidates running for public office, that every member of the committee will either support the goal or at least stop trying to publicly fight against it after they've lost. I expect that every member of the Libertarian National Committee will be polite and respectful to the rest of the members and to the national office staff. If anyone is unwilling or unable to meet these expectations, I will happily accept your resignation from the Libertarian National Committee and wish you the best of luck in whatever future endeavors you choose. Yours in liberty, Nicholas J. Sarwark Chair, Libertarian National Committee

2018 Annual Convention
by Norm Olsen 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hello All . . . I presume that we will be discussing the dates and venues of the 2018 Annual Convention in Phoenix; possibly even selecting a particular venue and the dates thereof. I would like to provide to my constituents a list of the possibilities so that they may provide me with some feedback as to their preferences. Details are not necessary. A simple list of the venues under consideration and the dates associated with each venue would suffice.

Notice of proposed lawsuit - amicus brief in U.S. v. Houston
by Nicholas Sarwark 27 Feb '16

27 Feb '16

All, We have an opportunity to sign on to an amicus brief in support of en banc rehearing in U.S. v. Houston. A former colleague of mine works for the firm handling the amicus for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the Brennan Center. For background on the Houston case, this Ars Technica article may be helpful. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/02/feds-nail-webcam-on-utility-pole… The purpose would be to get rehearing to have the court reverse its ruling that this kind of surveillance is constitutional. There is no cost that I am aware of, as the brief is already written, we would just be signing on. I have a copy of the amicus brief if any LNC members would like to read it in confidence. I need to decide if the Libertarian Party will sign on prior to Monday, February 29 at 10:00 am, so I will likely call a very short EC call for this weekend. Yours truly, Nick
