Jen Gray on Josh Smith
by John Turpish 28 Jun '18

28 Jun '18

I am still not 100% decided on the chair race. I know not all of you see things the way I do, but for whatever it's worth this was the most powerful argument I've heard yet. http://heyjenngray.com/contentious-race-chairman-libertarian-national-commi… I'm also quite saddened to learn Gray has left the party. We don't have a lot of dedicated marketing & fundraising experts like her. She doesn't get too specific here as to why, but I know she wasn't happy to be incorrectly accused of supporting a pedophile. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Divest from the War Machine
by John 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

I'm considering attempting a floor motion to try to get LP National on this page: https://www.divestfromwarmachine.org/coalition In case you're unfamiliar, the idea is to use whatever clout we have, through voluntary action and capital markets, to slow down the "military industrial complex" : to get individuals and especially institutions like banks and schools to voluntarily pull their money out of military contractors that profit from (and lobby for) unnecessary war. I gotta say, to me, this seems right up our alley. Why would we not want to lend our name to this? Anyhow, I've never tried to do anything like this. If you have advice I'm all ears. Should I do a written resolution? Do I have to specify implementation (presumably the actually reaching out would fall on the LNC)? Or any general thoughts, thanks.

Not sure this made it to the list as you sent it to the list owner. :) I would have thought the same a few days ago, but have since been schooled a bit. We're going to be releasing an article real soon about how Juneteenth takes away from the experiences of black folks today. Celebrating it sounds too much like "Mission Accomplished" when it's not. --- In Liberty, Ryan Graham Vice Chairman, Libertarian Party of Georgia On 2018-06-19 22:35, Nathan Wilson wrote: > Today is Juneteenth. It's the day in 1865 when the last slaves in the Confederacy were freed, after Union General Gordon Granger climbed up a Galveston balcony and shouted: "The people of Texas are informed that, in accordance with a proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of personal rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them becomes that between employer and hired labor." > > (Slaves in Kentucky and Delaware, which were not covered by the Emancipation Proclamation, were freed later upon the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment, on December 18, 1865). > > I propose that Libertarians endorse the effort to make today's date a national Emancipation Day holiday. A day when people became freer than the day before should be commemorated.

Just curious if anyone has any particular leaning for the chair nominees. I had a brief exchange with Joshua Smith about national assistance with State ballot access. Here are the screenshots with his response: Stephanie Aylworth
