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
