LPC 2021 Platform Committee Initial Report
Cover LetterIntroductionProposalsSummariesEverything

This is a report of proposed changes to the Platform of the Libertarian Party of California. The base document to which these proposed changes apply is the version as last amended in 2018.

There are a total of 22 proposals, ranging in complexity from deletion of a few words or moving or replacing one sentence, up to complete rewrites of an existing plank, including in two cases splitting an existing plank into multiple parts.

For each proposal, there is a summary followed by more details. The format of the details varies depending on the nature of the changes being proposed. In the case of an entirely new plank, just the text of the proposed plank is shown. In the case of proposed revisions to an existing plank, if the changes are relatively small there will be a description along with marked up text showing deletions and insertions. In some cases where the changes would only affect one paragraph in a large plank, just that paragraph is shown marked up. In cases where the changes are so extensive that they amount to a rewrite of the plank, the entire text of the existing plank is shown as a deletion and the replacement text is shown as an insertion.
