[LPL Board of Directors] MOTION FROM THE CHAIR - urgent - radio advertising

Tue Apr 9 17:11:49 CDT 2013

Thanks.

As of right now, there are 4 votes.  three more are needed for a 
quorum.  If they are "Aye" then there is an absolute majority and it passes.

I will not vote until two more "Aye" votes are in.

-- In Liberty,

Adrien Monteleone - Chairman
Libertarian Party of Louisiana
