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
