Coming from Florida I do not believe in witch hunts. However, the Florida witch hunts concerned people who did not commit or threaten actual violence, and were halted. We have always held it true that any memeber who wished to use violence to achieve social & political goals violates the non-aggression pledge, thus we would censure or remove that person to the best of our abilities. As such, I co-sponsor this motion.

We have the right to, at the very least, protect our brand, and we have been historically bad about that.
Let's change that.

Mr. Goldstein, ask Mr. Dasbach how useful it would have been had we made a statement about McVey ahead of time. That is the use. One nut could forever tarnish this party.

Tell me exactly what a censure motion will accomplish. You stand a better chance of making him a martyr than silencing him. He will still appear at the convention, state debates and on the nomination stage even if you do succeed in passing this motion.

It's something that needs to be done to show we care about our membership. We can spend ten minutes on a motion, and still get candidates elected Sam. I promise.

Do we really want to start this nonsense? I will not cosponsor and will vote no if this becomes a motion. I am nere to get Libertarians elected to public office, not give attention to someone who will likely be out on the first ballot at Austin. Why give him more attention than he deserves.
