This sounds just like what the Democrats and Republicans say when a member of the House Liberty Caucus objects to legislation which they believe tramples people's rights. They are called obstructionists. They are accused of wanting to harm children and grandma. Ron Paul earned the nickname Dr. No. It's ironic for the LP leadership to be the ones now doing it. I want us to do it clean, without an asterisk. I think it is better for the party to have our nominee protected from legal challenges even if it means the campaign season is shorter. Just closing our eyes and pretending the risks aren't there doesn't prevent those challenges from coming. When you were a public defender, I'm sure you felt it was your duty to tell your clients the risks of various options they had. I believe I am doing my duty to this organization as well. -Alicia On Sun, May 17, 2020 at 4:39 AM Nicholas Sarwark via Lnc-business < lnc-business@hq.lp.org> wrote:

Dear All,

A Libertarian Party united behind a strong candidate can win the 2020 Presidential election.

If members of this committee can work together to get that candidate nominated as soon as possible and then focus on the work of the election, our party can take advantage of this unique opportunity.

If they raise objections and obstacles to giving this decision to our national delegates as soon as possible, or cast doubt on the legitimacy of that nomination by convention, they make it more difficult to take advantage of this unique opportunity.

The members are watching.

Yours in liberty,

Nick
