What Is The Libertarian Party?
The Libertarian Party is your representative
in American politics. It is the only political
organization which respects you as a unique and
competent individual.
America's Heritage
Libertarians believe in the American heritage
of liberty, enterprise, and personal
responsibility. Libertarians recognize the
responsibility we all share to preserve this
precious heritage for our children and
grandchildren.
Free and Independent
Libertarians believe that being free and
independent is a great way to live. We want a
system which encourages all people to choose
what they want from life; that lets them live,
love, work, play, and dream their own way.
Caring For People
The Libertarian way is a caring,
people-centered approach to politics. We believe
each individual is unique. We want a system
which respects the individual and encourages us
to discover the best within ourselves and
develop our full potential.
Principled; Consistent
The Libertarian way is a logically consistent
approach to politics based on the moral
principle of self-ownership. Each individual has
the right to control his or her own body,
action, speech, and property. Government's only
role is to help individuals defend themselves
from force and fraud.
Tolerant
The Libertarian Party is for all who don't
want to push other people around and don't want
to be pushed around themselves. Live and let
live is the Libertarian way.
America's Third Largest
Party
|
The Libertarian
Party is
America's third
largest and
fastest growing
political party.
Libertarians
engage in a
variety of
projects,
working for
everyone's
liberty on every
issue.
The
Libertarian
Party was
created in
December of 1971
by people who
realized that
the politicians
had strayed from
America's
original
libertarian
foundation, with
disastrous
results. Their
vision was the
same as that of
America's
founders -- a
world where
individuals are
free to follow
their own dreams
in their own
ways, a world of
peace, harmony,
opportunity, and
abundance.
Libertarians
are practical;
we know we can't
make the world
perfect. But, it
can be better.
Libertarians
will keep
working to
create a better,
freer society
for everyone. As
William Allen
White said:
"Liberty is the
only thing you
cannot have
unless you are
willing to give
it to others."
Why Not Stick
With The
Establishment?
| The politicians in Washington and our state capitals have led us away from the principles of individual liberty and personal responsibility which are the only sound foundation for a just, humane, and abundant society.
Government at all levels is too large, too expensive, woefully inefficient, arrogant, intrusive, and downright dangerous. Democratic and Republican politicians have created the status quo and do not intend to change it. |

The Libertarian
Option
Consider the Libertarian option:
- Substantially reduce the size and intrusiveness of government and cut all taxes.
- Let peaceful, honest people offer their goods and services to willing consumers without a hassle from government.
- Let peaceful, honest people decide for themselves what to eat, drink, read, or smoke and how to dress, medicate themselves, or make love, without fear of criminal penalties.
- The U.S. government should defend Americans and their property in America and let the U.S. taxpayer off the hook for the defense bill of wealthy countries like Germany and Japan.
