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.
