To be to the point, as also reported on Independent Political Report, the Massachusetts state chair (Dave Blau) had a phone call from the LNC Acting Director, and in one of the early sentences the first two words from Mr. Kraus's [sic] lips were, I am told, "please" and "disaffiliate". Krauss was apparently reacting to the Second LPMass Resolution on Angela Keaton. Responding to the LNC actions that hounded Keaton from the LNC, the LPMass State Committee recommended as part of a longer resolution:

"First, we counsel the Libertarian National Committee that, for the good of the Party, the Libertarian National Committee should ensure in appointing Keaton's replacement that the replacement is as anti-war and as socially liberal as Ms. Keaton, so that the balance on the National Committee between the party's various factions and interests is not altered and continues to reflect the mixture of votes cast at the most recent National Convention, and

Second, we urge supporters of the libertarian political movement to respond to the Libertarian National Committee's actions by redirecting your future donations away from the Libertarian National Committee. Donate instead to libertarian groups that do real politics and political education, such as your state Libertarian Party, and national groups such as Freedom Ballot Access and the Advocates for Self-Government."

The first part of the Resolution was not followed by the LNC. In a narrow vote, the LNC replaced Ms. Keaton with former Tennessee state chair and seeming social conservative Alicia Mattson.
