[LPIL - Board of Directors] Resolution for Consideration

[communications at lpillinois.org]

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
