Subject: Important - Addressing State Affiliates Who Are Opposed To Our POTUS Candidate - Appointment of Reconciliation Committee

Hello LNC,

It's come to my attention (and to the attention of some of you) that we have state affiliates who are very upset with the Chase/Ter Maat ticket and are threatening not to put them on the ballot. We need to work this out. I'm appointing a committee to resolve this situation - the Reconciliation Committee.

Your goal is to communicate with the state affiliates who are aggrieved, find out their specific grievances, and communicate with the Oliver campaign to see if we can get those grievances resolved. This is a much better route than disaffiliations, lawsuits, threats, removal, etc. 

Let's please try to get it all resolved before the end of this month - June 30th, or before the deadline of any Secretary of State paperwork - whichever date is SOONEST.

Appointed to the committee:

Pat Ford

Caryn Ann Harlos

Kathy Yeniscavich

Andrew Watkins

Angela McArdle

Please use division of labor on your calls. Please share information. Please deliberate together, but do not bog each other down in endless meetings. Please try to de-escalate things. Please use discretion and meet confidentially. Please share a report to the general membership by the end of the month that includes end results or a brief summary of actions, so our members can feel confident that we worked diligently to resolve this and get our candidate on the ballot.

Thank you!

Everyone else, I'm sure the rumor mill will churn, but please take this as a sign of the LNC's good faith and please be patient with us as we work through this kink. We will support our candidates.

Angela McArdle

Chair, Libertarian National Committee
