We have an electronic mail ballot presented by the Chair per the bylaws of LPIL Article V section G. All VOTES are due in (6) business days (by May 14, 2024 at 12:01 AM Central) at which time the ballot will close, unless everyone votes or expressly abstains, the ballot can close early. Co-Sponsors: Walden IV, Leonard, DiMasi. ================================================================== MOTION: The LPIL shall respond to the LNC's invitation to former President Trump to speak at the 2024 National Convention with the following Resolution: WHEREAS, Extending an invitation to former President Trump to speak at the 2024 National Convention was a consternation to the hard-working activists in the Libertarian Party. WHEREAS, The 2024 National Convention is intended to nominate and promote the Libertarian Presidential candidate, rather than provide a platform for an opposing candidate or party to campaign. WHEREAS, Hosting this speech would be disrespectful to the Libertarian Presidential candidates in addition to many LPIL activists who are contributing countless hours petitioning for ballot access on behalf of the Party's future nominee. BE IT RESOLVED, The Libertarian Party of Illinois calls on the Libertarian National Committee to rescind its invitation to former President Trump along with all other invitations to opposing Presidential candidates to speak at the 2024 Libertarian National Convention. The Libertarian Party of Illinois firmly stands with other state affiliates that have voiced their grievances regarding political opponents being given a platform at our own convention. (Lewis) ========================================================================= THRESHOLD REQUIRED: Majority of votes cast. An affirmative or 'Aye' vote is to confirm the resolution. A negative or 'No' vote is to oppose the resolution. PLEASE REMEMBER TO USE "REPLY ALL" TO CAST YOUR VOTE. Please notify me or the Chair of any discrepancies. I will send a reminder email before the ballot expires if needed. -- Ken Mattes Secretary, Libertarian Party of Illinois secretary@lpillinois.org 815 342 5177
