[LPL Board of Directors] to resign from finance position

[Wes Benedict]

Board of Directors,

I intend to resign from the finance officer position and from the 
finance committee effective 4/12/2013 at 11:59 PM.  I am resigning due 
to personal time constraints and the increasing time the position has 
required. I plan to focus more of my volunteer time on the East Baton 
Rouge Parish Libertarians. I will not be at the state committee meeting 
this Saturday. I'll be at a conference set up by Gary Johnson's Our 
America Initiative in Salt Lake City instead.

I do want to offer some parting advice.  Many Libertarian Party state 
affiliates are highly active with internal fighting.  It seems to happen 
very frequently all around the country.  I encourage you to go out of 
your way to be nice to each other--a few notches nicer than you think 
seems appropriate.  Pretend if you have to.  It can be contagious.  And 
when someone does something that offends you, give them a pass most of 
the time.  There's something inherently explosive and implosive about 
state Libertarian affiliates.  It takes hard work to be able to stick 
together and work together. When you can't work together, I encourage 
you to find ways to work separately, rather than against each other.

I appreciate the time and expense you all incur working to build the 
Libertarian Party in Louisiana. I hope you all keep up the great work.  
I'm still excited about the recent growth of the Libertarian Party in 
Louisiana and will do my best to help pull the weight here in Baton Rouge.

Finance Committee Officer
