Hi Gregg I hope your family is doing okay
now. Some of us tend to get impatient with one another. Like I
said before I do not know what caused the outburst over "abortion" I
just know that it happened. I don't have a problem with what your
Platform states I said though b/c it caused such outcry that it might be
wise to "chuck" that part of it is all.
The following is the actual word's of the
platform. Please do not read your "old" Platforms. National has revised
the Platform over the last year and you need to get your Platform info
from the Platform online site.
Now we are supposed to discuss
this among ourselves.Yes we need someone to head the committee. Who
will it be...I personally don't know how to write a Platform. I do know
though how to keep thing's on track & keep us productive.
Remember with Convention & raising fund's I have a full plate
already. And on weekends I cannot get back with you. I work all weekend
starting on Friday. So lets pick someone & be on our way
guy's....
I know we don't want to ignore the issues
but we need to be vague. That way candidates don't get stuck with
something twisted. I liked Greggs Platform & didn't see anything
wrong with it. I suggested we take out the word abortion is all. Just to
stay on the safe side of the controversy.
Now I want to say something-recently I
found out that National will be holding convention & electing
someone to be "a presidential candidate" if this is the case. I hope to
encourage full support of the candidate & that we pour our energy
into getting this candidate elected. This is our ultimate goal, not your
house of representative, senator, congressman. So what does the LPCO do
in presidential election years????
Thanks,
Dana
Nationals Platform:.
Individual Rights and Civil Order
Women's Rights and Abortion
We hold that individual rights should not be denied or abridged on
the basis of sex. We call for repeal of all laws discriminating against
women, such as protective labor laws and marriage or divorce laws which
deny the full rights of men and women. We oppose all laws likely to
impose restrictions on free choice and private property or to widen
tyranny through reverse discrimination.
Recognizing that abortion is a very sensitive issue and that people,
including libertarians, can hold good-faith views on both sides, we
believe the government should be kept out of the question.
We condemn state-funded and state-mandated abortions. It is
particularly harsh to force someone who believes that abortion is murder
to pay for another's abortion.
It is the right and obligation of the pregnant woman, not the state,
to decide the desirability or appropriateness of prenatal testing,
Caesarean births, fetal surgery, voluntary surrogacy arrangements,
and/or home births.

Dana, National deals with the
issue. I believe that we must in some way deal with all Colorado
issues. We may find ways to improve positions, but we should not
ignore any. Gregg

Where is the committee? Are we going to
ignore eachother or what?
John, Gregg, Paul -Are you all there?
How about dropping the abortion word out of the Health part of the
Platform??? I vote yay to remove the word.
Thanks,
Dana
