LP News submissions
by Lauren Daugherty 24 Apr '19

24 Apr '19

Hi all, Please see below, from Eric Dixon. Lauren --- Hello, LNC members! June will be here before we know it, and I'll be producing the June 2019 issue of LP News in early May. I've sent a note to the state chairs' list to let them know about the forthcoming submission deadline for Affiliate News: Friday, May 10, at 3:00 p.m. ET. Submissions should be sent to: lpnews(a)lp.org <mailto:lpnews@lp.org> I'll send them follow-up reminders as the deadline approaches. It's easy for something like this to slip off the radar of our busy party leaders, so if any of you would also like to talk with state chairs about their submissions, please do so! If any LNC members have a story idea or would like to submit something yourself, your deadline is also Friday, May 10. If you can send something sooner than that, it would be even better for logistical planning purposes. Thanks! Eric D. Dixon Editor LP News

Hospers' project
by Caryn Ann Harlos 23 Apr '19

23 Apr '19

I received this request - if anyone can assist with any this information, please let me know. --- Dear Caryn Ann, while we are having excellent contributor response and results from the world of academics, as well as other friends of our project, we would appreciate any suggestions that you may have regarding contacting the following because addresses we had on file for them are no longer viable. These key individuals who should be asked to participate include: 1) Ed Clark, very early LP activist, and 1980 presidential candidate 2) Ed Crane, also there as early as 1972 and the founder of Cato. 3) David Bergland, 1984 LP presidential candidate; also, something we had completely forgotten, the 1976 VP candidate 4) Andre Marrou, 1992 LP presidential candidate. 5) Nancy Lord, brilliant woman and the '92 VP candidate (she went to college, got her M.D. degree, decided she didn't like being a doctor, so went back to school and became a lawyer, J.D.!) 6) Ron Paul, 1988 LP presidential candidate (apparently he got an Electoral College vote, from a Texan named Bill Greene, and maybe we should try to reach him, too) 7) James A. Lewis, the 1984 VP candidate 8) Jo Jorgensen, VP candidate with Harry Browne in 1996 9) Art Olivier, VP candidate with Harry Browne in 2000 10) Richard Campagna, Michael Badnarik's VP candidate in 2004 (We do have connect with Badnarik) 11) Judge James Gray, the very great man who was Gary Johnson's VP candidate in 2012, and was a judge in California 12) If William V. Susel is still around, he should also be invited. -- * In Liberty,* *Libertarian Party and Libertarian National Committee Secretary *- Caryn.Ann.

Karl Hess
by William Redpath 22 Apr '19

22 Apr '19

There were some benefits to being born in 1957. One of them was to have the military draft ended in 1973, yet to be too old to have to register for the draft in later years. Another was to not be too young to have never known Karl Hess. Today is the 25th anniversary of his passing. It was an honor and a privilege to have had him as a friend. Hey, I was his accountant in his later years, and I didn't go to jail! It was an irony that Richard Nixon, who was partially responsible for the founding of the Libertarian Party, died on the same day. I just wanted to remember a great libertarian--and Libertarian Party member--on this day. Bill Redpath

Resolution Condemning Conversion Therapies
by Jeff Lyons 19 Apr '19

19 Apr '19

Good Morning, I found a subject that I do not believe our platform addresses clearly enough and there has been some debate internally and externally about a recent decision in Massachusetts to ban Conversion Therapy for Minors, because that might include government intervention into how parents choose to raise children. After doing some research and speaking with members of the Libertarian Party who: have been personally exposed to this unwillingly as children, were unable to communicate privately with their parents about the true nature of this physical torture, were physically restrained and beaten for attempting to be released from these concentration camps even upon reaching adulthood, and their parents were convinced to sign their child up for Social Security / Disability and pass that government money on to the Therapists to unwittingly pay for the indefinite treatment of detained children, even into adulthood, with absolutely no achievable criterion for patients to win back their freedom; I am DEEPLY disturbed that such a thing is still ongoing in modern America. Therefore, I will propose the following resolution. I hope you will co-sponsor and I welcome any input and revision that will more strongly codify the Libertarian Party stance in SUPPORT of LGBTQ+ communities and AGAINST torture and involuntary detainment. Draft: "WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party asserts that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose; WHEREAS, parents, or other guardians, have the right to raise their children according to their own standards and beliefs, provided that the rights of children to be free from abuse and neglect are also protected; WHEREAS, Conversion therapy for sexual orientation is now considered unethical by both The American Psychiatric Association and The American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry; WHEREAS, the Supreme Court has declined to review and shown no concern with the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals in the 3rd and 9th Circuits which have upheld the Ban on Conversion Therapy for Minors, and upheld the decision of a lower court in New Jersey where a 12-person jury unanimously declared it "Consumer Fraud". WHEREAS, conversion therapy has been experimented in the past as a form of punishment for homosexuality, and there has been no evidence whatsoever that conversion therapy can successfully alter the gender identity or sexual orientation of unwilling participants; WHEREAS, children are often subjected to conversion therapy against their will by loving parents whom are unaware that the methods used in conversion therapy are extremely forceful and abusive, often utilizing psychological torture, physical punishment, starvation, aversive treatments, and public shaming or embarrassing a child whenever they display undesired behaviors, and that conversion therapy has been shown to result in suicide attempts by 20% of these patients: a five-fold increase in risk of suicide attempts compared to other teens; THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, Conversion therapy, also called "reparative therapy," "reorientation therapy," or "ex-gay therapy" constitutes consumer fraud and forceful abuse, which the Libertarian Party opposes. FURTHER, BE IT RESOLVED, the Libertarian Party opposes subjecting unwilling participants through force or coercion, especially children, to conversion therapy treatment or other forms of counseling expressly designed to alter their gender identity, sexual orientation, or hormonal balance." Thank you for all you do for the Liberty of others and I believe in this case there are some who sorely need our help. Thank you. Very Respectfully, Jeff Lyons LNC Region 8 Alternate Get Outlook for Android

Good morning, everyone, Happy news! Thanks the generosity of many Libertarians, we have now satisfied the Wiener Rule for 2019! We have now paid off 65% of the mortgage on LPHQ and 79% of the building. We still owe about $177k on the mortgage. Thanks to all those who have pitched in!
