This is a follow up to Angela’s liveblog for today, as well as the statement re Cory.
The LNC has removed Angela Keaton from the room, and are voting on whether to ask her to resign.
I have spoken with Angela, and she has stated that she will not resign.
This is the second day in a row that the LNC has attempted to remove this elected representative from the LNC.
Twitter updates from Angela Keaton:
Sitting in exile with Gene Hawkridge. Will I be excommunicated? You get better due process when three rabbis or the holy see meet.

Then it got really WEIRD…the Barr campaign sent message to Redpath to request to keep me on the LNC.

Someone needs to get a copy of the 1st amendment to the LNC asap.
Actually, they should start by reading their bylaws.
The Libertarian National Committee may not eject a member of the committee from its proceedings.
The Libertarian National Committee may also not hold a “private vote” that excludes members of the LNC from participating.
The fact that they apparently did both of these things underscores the utter lawlessness, piggishness and general disregard for the LP’s well-being of this gang.
We had the two largest mortgage lenders in the USA nationalized today — adding $2.8 trillion to the government’s debt in “guaranteed securities” — and all the Starr people did was pass a four-years-late resolution on Afghanistan and work to oust the LNC at-large member with the greatest margin of votes of any of them.
LP National is dead.
on what possible basis are they doing this? What has Keaton supposedly done?
