Hey!!!!
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

the Health part of the Platform??? I vote yay to remove
the word.
Thanks,
Dana
