Resolution for Consideration
Due to the current events of the Libertarian Party of Colorado, and an invitation from the Massachusetts Libertarian Party to their Conservative friends to join their organization, I felt it necessary to write a Resolution in regard to both events. My resolution is below, for your consideration: Whereas the Bylaws of the Libertarian National Party state that no affiliate party shall endorse any candidate who is a member of another party for public office in any partisan election; Whereas the Bylaws of the Libertarian National Party also state that no affiliate party shall take any action inconsistent with the Statement of Principles or these bylaws; Whereas the Bylaws of the Libertarian Party of Illinois state that a Candidate running for office may be denied support if deemed appropriate by the Executive Committee for going against these Bylaws; Whereas any member of the Party may file a complaint with the Central Committee or one of its officers if that member feels that the candidate does not properly represent the Party because of moral, ethical or extremist views or because that candidate supports policies in contradiction to the established platform of the Libertarian Party; Therefore, be it resolved, that the Libertarian Party of Illinois promises to uphold the Bylaws of both the National and State parties in reference to endorsing candidates of other parties or committing actions inconsistent with the Statement of Principles or the bylaws of the National or State parties. Thank you
