Fellow LNC members, I feel we were presented with an example of only one thing the Chair voted on in that poll, not the full picture. I just found the same voting thread and want to share the other option Mr Sarwarck voted on (attached picture) in which he also says he will be attending and supporting the in person section as well. It is possible to hold both beliefs and I'm not sure this so much falls into bias given full context. Calls to demonize our chair are just as bad as our chair pushing an agenda. Be fair with each other. I will call out what I see but would hope that I would be presented with the whole story to judge fairly. Yes, Nick should remain impartial, however, by voting for multiple sides, he seems to be maintaining that to a degree. I still think it best that ALL of us remain neutral on such polling and let the body do as it does if it does. Painting each other or delegates as enemies of the party for disagreeing with your interpretation or viewpoint is very troublesome.

We've been snowed. Simple as that. There is no intent to honor the hard-won compromise, and I am inclined to urge the LNC to take other action as there is zero confidence in what was voted on.
Let me give you all the simple reality here. We are duty bound to consider worst case scenario. We have a bullshit online fiasco and get hit with 51 lawsuits AND no fundraising convention. We are bankrupt. Reality bites. There are already actual party members ready to sue. I think that is terrible, but it is real.
The Adams motion is the route we should have taken. Period. End. That is the ONLY compromise that will stop these games, and I ask everyone where they stand. And if Chair Sarwark tries once again to insinuate "agree with me or I will accept your resignation" don't let anyone face that alone as we allowed Ms. Mattson to. Shame on us.
ONE person has consistently subverted the will of this body. The one person that should never do it. Our chair. Wake up.

If Chairman Sarwark truly wishes to convince the delegation to take action that would go against the motion the body set forward, I would implore him to announce his intentions now and allow Vice Chairman Merced to gavel the convention.
Nick, please divulge your intentions to us.

I am not even dead set against online and I agree this is inappropriate. Yet again.
I find myself regretting both not pursuing my first question harder on Saturday rather than backing off, and my motion to cancel the next meeting.
I honestly find myself wondering what options we have for disciplinary action at this point. Yes I should be more familiar with such rules, but there it is.

Mr. Chair, once again, I implore you to maintain the impartiality required. I am concerned about your public pledge to support making amending the agenda on May 22 to make the entire convention online over the wishes of the LNC.
See attached screenshot for pledge and Mr. Sarwark's name pledging to do so.
It would be more convenient for me to stay silent. Duty demands that I not be.
