Thanks Frank for your vote!!

Current results are:

Mr. Horne - Aye
Mr. Kearney - Aye
Mr. Smith - Aye
Mr. Griffin - Aye
Mr. Monteleone - Aye

A quorum has been reached.

The votes so far are 5-0 in favor - an absolute majority of the Board having 
voted in favor - the motion carries.

Still not voting:

Mr. Lewis
Mr. Ebarb
Mr. Benedict
Mr. Thompson

All those who have not yet voted are encouraged to still submit their votes 
for the record.

Thanks to everyone, and I will let Wendy know tonight of her new incentive 
terms and get her signature.



In Liberty,

Adrien Monteleone - Chairman
Libertarian Party of Louisiana
