[Lpganationaldelegates2018] Proposal, I like it credit Joe bishop

Hell, I thought Smith/Merced was a slate, as often as I see the 2 linked together.

 FYI, it looks like Team Smith (and maybe other caucuses) are trying to get slates for the LNC. 

Do we know who is running for our region? Do we want to seek balance based on who gets chair?

Ryan,    Just curious about your source who believes Juneteenth is a negative. I would completely disagree. I was the Co-creator if the City of Douglasville/Douglas county’s Juneteenth celebration and the event organizer for 5 years. It is passionately supported and endorsed by the black community all over the state. If we aren’t going to make a statement supporting it, I would highly recommend not creating an article that states the opposite. Just my thoughts.

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.

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.
