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.

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
