OK, so we're waiting on members' votes.  I don't know what to do if they don't vote.  Even one abstention vote from either John or Paul at this point would allow us to proceed with committee business.  I do not understand it.    Gregg ----- Original Message ----- From: Dana ACLP To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 2:33 PM Subject: Re: Hey!!!! Whats the web address for the list? I have had no problems getting everyones posts from the very beginning. I don't know what kinds of problems any of you have had, there was a couple weeks there that no body responded or posted. Since then though there have been no problems. Please don't get offended. Yes it is good to talk face to face & this may be a problem. Lets address my question-lets do this committee & draft after convention?

The problem I have with Gregg is that he has not responded to being part of the group in the past.   This is not a indication that I don't like Gregg, don't take it personally, we need to interact.   I realize that the lack of leadship from Vance, Steves defection and detractions of our lives has caused this.   I do believe we need a couple more members of this group, who are truly interested.   I'm not really saying Nay at this time.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Dana ACLP To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 10:43 AM Subject: Re: 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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Gregg Miller To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, March 10, 2003 1:11 PM Subject: Re: Hey!!!! 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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Dana ACLP To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 9:06 AM Subject: Hey!!!! 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
