Interesting articles about the recent LNC meeting....note the article on
the Zero Dues Proposal after the LNC report. Very interesting given our
discussion about dues recently.

LNC Meeting Report, May 14-15, 2005, Addison TX
by Sean Haugh
The most remarkable thing about this meeting is that the LNC for once
failed to do something astoundingly stupid. They came close a couple
times, but overall this meeting saw much more forward thinking in the
interests of the membership rather than the reactive and insular
thinking which had marked previous meetings this term.
It was wonderful being back in north Texas after my last visit about 30
years ago. Back then Addison hardly existed but now it is vital
corporate center. Then again everyplace else across the country has
grown a lot too in that time. At least the weather hasn't changed much,
mid-May starting to get hot enough for my liking. The meeting was very
well attended by local party members, and it was very pleasant to see
old and new friends there.
