The Party of PrincipleFounded in 1971, the Libertarian Party has become America's third largest political party. It is moderate, independent, and the only "third party" to have established itself as a nationwide party and a continuing alternative to the two "major" parties.
Do you recognize the following persons? All of them are either LP members or describe themselves as libertarians. Congressman Ron Paul (LP Life Member), Drew Carey, Glenn Beck, Dixie Carter, Stephen Moore, Mark Cuban, Kurt Russell, John Stossel, Clint Eastwood, Dwight Yoakam, John Larroquette, and Judge Andrew Napolitano.
And what about you? Why would you consider joining the Libertarian Party?
If you are a Democrat, do you really support the no-win war in Afghanistan that the administration is steadily expanding?
If you are a Republican, do you really want to return to power the party that not only did not balance the budget or promote individual liberties the last time it had control of the Congress and White House but instead went the wrong way on both issues?
If you are an Independent voter, do you seriously feel that choosing the 'lesser of two evils' in election after election has worked well for the country?
Do you really believe that we don't need a fresh approach to government?
Candidates representing the Democratic Party (Martin Griffin), Republican Party (Mike Nofs), Libertarian Party (Greg Merle), and an independent candidate (Steven Mobley), watched as votes for 19th District State Senator were counted on November 3. A vacancy had been created by the 2008 election to Congress of the former State Senator, Mark Schauer.
Congratulations to Mike Nofs, for winning the election; and to Greg Merle and Steven Mobley, both of whom who kept before the voters the important issues of personal liberty, a fairer system of taxation, and fighting waste and corruption in Michigan government.
According to various polling services, President Obama's job performance is now seen unfavorably by most Americans. Only a minority of Americans support his Socialized Medicine proposal, the "Stimulus" scam is now recognized for what it is, and his job approval rating has fallen steadily since the inauguration, making him one of only three presidents on record to suffer such a rejection. At the beginning of his administration (January, 2009) the number disapproving was between only 10 and 20%!
As a result, this website will discontinue reporting each month on that which is so well known that it hardly constitutes "news" anymore.
Meanwhile, several polling services have recently reported that the ranks of Independent voters are steadily growing.
The National Libertarian Party recently released its program for economic recovery, shown here in summary. How does it square with your own thinking?
1) Repeal the Income Tax. Until that is done, cut everyone's taxes across the board.
2) Adopt the Balanced Budget Amendment.
3) End corporate welfare and bailouts.
The national Libertarian Party is committed to informing Americans of the real impact of the National Health Care proposal now being debated in Congress. Among the consequences of a Government health plan will be these:
1. Illegal immigrants most likely WILL be covered.
2. You will NOT necessarily be allowed to keep your present plan.
3. Everyone will see substantitial cost increases and health care rationing.
4. Millions of American residents will STILL not be covered.
The Kansas City Star editorialized that the LP is helping defeat Obamacare in a way that can "cling tightly to its principle and still fit comfortably in the political mainstream."
"That kind of media campaign is why we’ve seen a spike in candidate inquiries and e-mailed questions from interested independents, libertarians and former Republicans," said a news release from the national Libertarian Party offices in Washington, D.C.
