I will cosponsor as well and reserve my vote for further argument. All motions should be heard and discussed.

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.

Because he has directly threatened our convention, our members, their families, etc.
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.

Good evening esteemed colleagues,
I am currently looking for co-sponsors for my motion to censure Benjamin Leder. He is a candidate for our POTUS Nomination and has been spreading some pretty hanus stuff. I believe that as party leadership it is extremely important that we let the party know that we arent supportive of these actions.
Motion below:
To the Libertarian National Committee
WHEREAS, Mr. Benjamin Leder (Texas) is currently running to be elected as the Libertarian Party's nominee for President of the United States;
WHEREAS, Mr. Leder has continually engaged in behavior that goes directly against our core principles and is antithetical to the mission of any representative of the Libertarian Party;
WHEREAS, He has made direct violent threats and approval of domestic terrorism against the Libertarian Party, including its National Committee members, conventions, candidates, and members of local affiliates, in cases not in self-defense, but in blatant aggression to achieve political goals;
WHEREAS, As examples of the above, he has published articles, appeared in media, and posted on social media clear threats of violence and advocate of domestic terrorism on peaceful people, including calling for an "Oklahoma City style" ending to not only the Democratic and Republican conventions, but also of the 2020 Libertarian National Convention, thus putting in danger our staff, delegates, and family members;
WHEREAS, He has made public, violent statements about killing peaceful people and "leaving their bodies in contractor bags at the curb for the garbage man";
WHEREAS, He has called for members who support the official Libertarian Party position of being anti-war to be physically battered;
WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party absolutely repudiates non-defensive violence and all aggression against peaceful people, and associating such statements with our Party defames its members and brand; and
RESOLVED, That the Libertarian National Committee condemns these actions by Mr. Leder as completely abhorrent to the mission, platform, and principles of the Libertarian Party.
Respectfully submitted,
Joshua D. Smith, LNC At Large Representative
