I posted this on my social media wall Someone is waging a copy pasta email bombardment to the LNC. You do realize that we have personal lives? I LOVE getting personally composed emails from members, and I respond to each and every one personally. But a copy pasta impersonal email will have the opposite effect you wish. Here is the current copy pasta. If you know the source, please tell them that they are only accomplishing annoying people. Please do encourage people to write, but ask them to write their own personal email not spam us with copy pasta. ====Libertarian National Committee Member, Our Party faces a difficult choice. Our National Convention is currently in limbo, and with it the entirety of Platform and Bylaw changes, LNC elections, and our Presidential nominations. Due to the health risks presented to our delegates, committee members, activists, donors, and candidates, as well as the substantial Presidential campaign downsides that receiving a nomination as late as July would bring, I ask you to support measures for transitioning the National Convention to a digital medium that can be participated in remotely as soon as is reasonably possible. Thank you, insert name==== To save time, here is my copy pasta response: Our bylaws do not permit that and bylaws can only be changed at an in-person convention. However, and argument can be made for the P/VP nominations sheerly electronic due to filing deadlines, and I will be supporting that with the rest of the convention in person as required by our bylaws. If you want a personal response, respect the LNC enough to write a personal email. No one respects spam. * In Liberty,* * Personal Note: I have what is commonly known as Asperger's Syndrome (part of the autism spectrum). This can affect inter-personal communication skills in both personal and electronic arenas. If anyone found anything offensive or overly off-putting (or some other social faux pas) in an actual email, please contact me privately and let me know. * On Mon, May 4, 2020 at 11:53 AM Caryn Ann Harlos <carynannharlos@gmail.com> wrote:
The Mises Caucus is not the only group to plan an email bomb. This time we are getting copy pasta of the same exact email over and over.
This is the copy pasta response I give. I take the time to give original responses to members who take the time to write their own personal notes.

I wish people would realize that these kinds of impersonal "rile up the mob" tactics do not produce any results.
