New Orleans Accord

The following was an attempt at #BottomUnity between left- and right-libertarians at the 2018 Libertarian National Convention in New Orleans, LA.

First Attempt (1 of 3) introduced from the floor by Adam Kokesh:

"New Orleans Accord

Whereas people are only able to thrive in an environment in which their sole discretion over their own lives is respected, Be it resolved that the Libertarian Party welcomes and accepts members from various economic schools of thought, as long as those members accept the fundamental principle that each individual should be free from involuntary servitude to others."

Second Attempt (2 of 3) introduced from the floor by Dane Posner:

(Note: This version received the biggest support from the body: 60% but not the 2/3 necessary for adoption.)

"NOLA Accord

Whereas it is necessary for all who passionately oppose injustice to stand together, we the members of the LP hereby resolve that we welcome everyone who asserts the NAP, regardless of their preferences for what a voluntary world might look like."

Third Attempt (3 of 3) introduced from the floor by Richard Fast:

"New Orleans Accord

Whereas people are only able to thrive in an environment in which their sole discretion over their own lives is respected, Be it resolved that the Libertarian Party welcomes and accepts members from various systems of governance, as long as those members accept the Statement of Principles."
