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

Accepting convention delegates from out of state?
by Wes Benedict 26 Apr '16

26 Apr '16

Please forward to state chairs in your region: Dear State Chair, I'm sometimes contacted by people interested in attending the national convention, but they are not currently delegates from their own state (usually because they missed a deadline or their state delegation is already full). If your state is accepting applicants to be delegates from out of state, let me know, and I may forward some names to you as I receive them. I'm only expecting a dozen or so inquiries of this type, although that number could change if people start discussing this concept widely. Thanks, -- Wes Benedict, Executive Director Libertarian National Committee, Inc. 1444 Duke St., Alexandria, VA 22314 (202) 333-0008 ext. 232, wes.benedict(a)lp.org facebook.com/libertarians @LPNational Join the Libertarian Party at: http://lp.org/membership

Appreciation to Chairman Sarwark
by Guy McLendon 22 Apr '16

22 Apr '16

Nick, Thank you very much for serving as convention chair for most of the LP of Louisiana's 2016 state convention business. As you know, the tensions were high, but your availability enabled the body to accomplish our critical business. Your calm voice of reason & leadership, in my opinion, was essential in helping to avoid a major train-wreck in the LP of Louisiana. It has been an honor to serve on the LNC under your administration. For the record, IMO, you score a "10" in the leadership category. Guy McLendon Cell 832-372-8131 Cc: Rufus Craig, newly elected Chair of LPL
