Resolution by the Libertarian Party of Florida Executive Committee
Adopted December 5, 2008
WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party of Florida does not condone certain actions by Angela Keaton in how they relate to the Libertarian National Committee;

WHEREAS, the actions by Angela Keaton have not had a materially negative impact on the Libertarian Party, its candidates, staff, or related parties;
WHEREAS, the actions by other individuals have had a materially negative impact on the Libertarian Party and its candidates was dealt without suspension or removal of those individuals from their official positions within the Libertarian Party;
WHEREAS, the Libertarian National Committee is scheduled to take up the issue at its meeting in San Diego on December 6, 2008;
WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party of Florida firmly believes the time devoted to Angela Keaton at this meeting would be better spent in improving the Libertarian Party.
BE IT RESOLVED that the Libertarian Party of Florida strongly suggests the Libertarian National Committee remove the Angela Keaton discussion from said meeting Agenda and that time be devoted to more pressing issues facing the Libertarian Party. We feel the Libertarian National Committee should spend the extra time on Jim Lark & Patrick Dixon’s Agenda item regarding “goals” and how to achieve those goals.
Signed,

Mark Clifford, Secretary
Jack Tanner, Treasurer

MASSACH– USETTS PASSES RESOLUTION SUPPORTING KEATON
Whereas, Angela Keaton was elected with the strong support of the delegates at the 2008 Libertarian National Convention, and
Whereas furthermore, the lack of performance of the Libertarian Party this past election cycle, under what should have been ideal electoral circumstances, should be cause for serious reflection, and
Whereas furthermore, spending the valuable meeting time of the Libertarian National Committee on personality disputes brings the National Committee and hence our party into disrepute, therefore
Be it resolved, that the Libertarian Party of Massachusetts calls upon the Libertarian National Committee to decline to consider resolutions suspending Angela Keaton, and
Be it further resolved, that the Libertarian Party of Massachusetts commends to the Libertarian National Committee the desirability of spending its precious meeting time on important issues that may advance our party,
Be it further resolved, that the Libertarian Party of Massachusetts urges the Libertarian National Committee to spend that time, instead, on contemplating the substantive objectives of its budget and volunteer mobilization programs for the next year, and
For if the National Committee does not do so, the members of our voluntary organization may eventually conclude that alternative organizational structures are required if the Libertarian political movement is to advance.

I emailed a have dozen or so members of the California LP earlier this week, asking them to emulate Georgia.
I’ve not heard back from anyone. No resolution from the California LP so far as I can tell.

I got it from someone else, not sure if they want to be named or not.
coming on the back of the LP December 5, 2008
Fuck that.
They should cancel the rest of the agenda and make the whole thing about Keaton and maybe a little Wayne Root huff-n-puff.
