Agreed, great statement by Mr Day. I'd be happy if one or two of our other current governor candidates would take a lesson, not just in tge future.

Jilletta has my vote and full support. I will be voting the Libertarian ticket in November and urge you to as well. This was a very close race, and I believe the primary helped drive more people to the polls to vote Libertarian (we doubled the Secretary of State's projections). As many of you know, I entered this race very late. Jilletta had already received the nomination from the LPNH. She graciously made a motion to rescind the nomination at a special business meeting and reached out to me to suggest that we keep the campaign positive. I agreed, and we both held to that standard. The nastiness coming from the other two parties during this campaign is one of the reasons people are sick of politics. Others would do well to follow the Libertarian example. I ran for Governor for two reasons. First, I have completely lost faith in the two-party system and believe that the Libertarian Party is the only political path forward to achieve liberty in our lifetime. Second, I wanted to promote what I view as the two major threats to liberty in New Hampshire: a loss of solvency and a loss of sovereignty. I am pleased to announce that I will be able to continue to pursue both as I have accepted the Libertarian nomination for Sheriff for Hillsborough County. The Sheriff is the top law enforcement officer in the county and is accountable only to the people. We need a Sheriff who will protect our individual rights, rights as a state, and reinforce the idea that law enforcement is accountable to the people. I will be announcing my platform later in the week, but you can expect civil asset forfeiture, police militarization, the 4th & 10th Amendments to the US Constitution, Article 10 of the New Hampshire Constitution, jury nullification, and Citizen Grand Juries to be highlighted. Building the Libertarian Party will not happen in 1 or 2 election cycles. It will take great effort, endurance, and, above all, adherence to principles over politics. For decades, the arrogance and impunity of the leadership of the two-party duopoly has driven the Granite State to be dependent on Federal funds, to the brink of financial ruin, and at the same time, whittled away at our individual rights. We won't fix the many problems plaguing our state overnight, but we can course-correct the direction. Today, as I look back to where the Libertarian Party was before, to where we are now, we have come a long way with more than 30 candidates running statewide. Currently, three Libertarians served in the NH Legislature during the last legislative session, and more people are joining the party every day. I have great hope for New Hampshire’s future. The LPNH is like an entrepreneurial startup competing against two crony behemoths that use “too big to fail” as their rallying cry. Vote, volunteer, run for office, or donate to the LPNH and Libertarian candidates. Individual rights are “too important to fail”.

notice of motions
by Alicia Mattson 20 Sep '18

20 Sep '18

I'm giving previous notice for the four attached motions and requesting agenda items for each. 1. Restore LNC review of director contracts - This provision had been in the policy manual for quite some time. During the 6/30/18 pre-convention LNC meeting, to avoid a one-day delay in the effective date of a proposed contract, it was deleted from our policy manual. However, it is a good policy. It was put there for good reason so that the LNC could have time to object and act, should a proposed contract obligate us to absurd financial commitments, and the policy should be restored for future contract decisions. 2. Apply ending date to email ballot 2018-19 - I brought up the need for this amendment while the email ballot was underway. 3. Provide for Blockchain Committee permanent chair - The motion we adopted provided only for an interim chair for this committee, but said nothing of how a permanent chair would be chosen. 4. Rescind Geoff Neale rule for APRC - This one is a little more complex, and I will provide further explanation before we vote on this. The LNC Policy Manual has established some operational rules for the APRC (also attached for convenience). During the 2012-2014 term when Geoff Neale was chair, he issued a directive to staff that changed the way the APRC operates. This rule is still in effect and still influences how the APRC functions. I think it creates a number of serious problems, sometimes releasing publications too quickly, and sometimes holding them up for too long. My motion is for the LNC to rescind the Geoff Neale rule (not the one in the policy manual). Chair's directives to staff are subject to the policies and directives of the LNC, per our bylaws, so it is within our purview to rescind this. You may recall that this came up during our brief post-convention meeting on 7/3/18 in New Orleans. A staff member raised an issue with delays on time-sensitive-subject publications. Mr. Bishop-Henchman expressed that he and I had experienced inordinate delay in getting the survey out for the Bylaws and Rules Committee. I actually had made a motion to rescind this provision during the prior term, at the August 2017 LNC meeting. After there was a suggestion that staff might have other undocumented rules that we'd need to also consider, the LNC chose to postpone the agenda item indefinitely. No such additional rules were ever forwarded to the LNC, only this. I requested an agenda item for the December 2017 meeting, but then my flight to that meeting was canceled due to weather conditions, and the LNC again punted the agenda item in my absence. The April 2018 meeting was during an incredibly busy time for me, and I didn't request an agenda item for it. We have never gone back an finished this subject. -Alicia I'm giving previous notice for the four attached motions and requesting agenda items for each. 1.

No such additional rules were ever forwarded to the LNC, only this. I requested an agenda item for the December 2017 meeting, but then my flight to that meeting was canceled due to weather conditions, and the LNC again punted the agenda item in my absence. The April 2018 meeting was during an incredibly busy time for me, and I didn't request an agenda item for it. We have never gone back an finished this subject. -Alicia

I have received a few questions about graphic design for party merchandise and the process lately. Including wild rumors about processes being circumvented. This quote sums most of then up. "Is there is an open-bid contract to do designs/marketing for LP National branding coming in September? I’ve asked several Regional Reps already and have received conflicting answers. This is not about me as a vendor; it’s about transparency and fairness. There are a ton of talented designers and vendors out there whose experience and creativity would be a tremendous asset in the effort to advance the Party brand and give a much needed boost to outreach efforts. With competition you increase interest, profit margins on merchandise, and open yourself up to a sea of talent. Circumventing this process seems counterintutive and a disservice to LP members, to the Party, to the brand and its message."
