The LNC Report – Analysis Part 2

Here the report complains that LNC Chairs have set the vision for the national party: Yet, tumultuous shifts in leadership perspectives are not the only factors impacting how the organization may have gotten to this point.

We Have Been Here Before – Chapter 2, Part 1

Browne kept the money he…

Yes, the LNC has done a strategic plan.  We recovered it, with a tip of the hat to DehnBase, so you can read it.  Some parts dated a bit.  Some parts are still good.  Other parts…well, the report was produced by a huge committee.

Malagon Motions That Change LNC Structure

Greetings All, I am giving notice for the following Policy Manual amendments (9 in total, please see the attached PDF). Please note they have gone through extensive revisions, which is why they have the full endorsement of the LNC Chair, ExD, EPCC, SIC and Debbie Mason.

We Have Been Here Before — Chapter 1, Part 3

Willis is imprecise as to whether or not Browne’s money influenced his decision to break the Libertarian Party’s rules.  He claims on page 11 of his memo “Most of what I did for the Browne campaign I did for free.  When I first decided to disobey the policy I figured ‘If I’m going to disobey the policy I might as well…
