==================================================================
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
