Subject: [LPL Board of Directors] Resignation

Dear Fellow Libertarian,
	After serving with the Libertarian Party of Louisiana since April of
2012, I have decided it is time for me to resign. I have made the
decision to start my own animal rescue in Shreveport and due to this, I
can't serve on the board of directors of the Libertarian Party of
Louisiana any longer.
	When I was elected to the LPL board, we had only a few members, no
income, and no candidates. I spent most of 2012 recruiting congressional
candidates, recruiting members, and raising money. When it was all said
and done, we had 2 elected Libertarians and 5 congressional candidates.
We raised more money in 4 months than the party had raised in the last
few years combined. It was a tough year but by the end of 2012, many were
talking about the resurgence of Libertarians in Louisiana.
	Today, the LPL operates on a budget of more than $20,000, has a full
board of directors, has grown over 50%, and is already getting inquiries
from candidates wanting to run for office in 2014. We have come a very
long way in only a year and I am extremely proud to leave the party much
stronger and much larger than I found it. I am proud of each and every
one of you for everything we have done together. The party is larger than
ever and still growing.
	Although I must leave the board of directors, I hope to still hope
to
volunteer where possible. I hope to slowly pass along all of my work and
lessons learned to one or more successors. I truly wish everyone the best
and I can always be reached on my cell phone. I will be resigning after
the April meeting to allow for a succession plan to be formed.
In Liberty,
Reed Ebarb
Secretary, Interim Treasurer
