Taking our case to the Supreme Court
Dear Libertarian, Year-round, the national Libertarian Party is pursuing court cases in various states and nationwide in pursuit of fair treatment for our national party, state parties, and candidates. We don’t ask for special treatment. We just ask that the system is fair for all, including us. It is what Libertarians do: When laws are […]
Making a difference
Dear Libertarian, Let me share a heartwarming story with you about the difference an elected official can make is someone’s life.

Libertarian chair: Assange prosecution should be dismissed
Julian Assange was arrested this morning, April 11, at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

It’s been 20 years
I joined the Libertarian Party as a member 20 years ago today. We have made so much progress during that time. Here are 3 of my favorite stats: We have twice the ballot access access that we did 20 years ago. We have 92% more registered Libertarians than we did just 10 years ago (read […]

It was a message about the tremendous human progress that has been enabled by institutions that protect property rights, contracts, and reining in arbitrary power. He also spoke about the need for reform in areas […]
US should stop creating chaos in Latin America
Dear Libertarian, Our party calls for the United States to end its policies of intervention and prohibition, which have fueled chaos and violence in Latin America and have led so many innocent people to seek asylum at the southern border. The failed war on drugs is the primary driver of organized crime in the region. […]
Government shutdown a symptom of terrible management
It’s no secret that Libertarians believe the federal government does too much. Everyone who can read a balance sheet agrees that the federal government does more than it can afford to do, spending far more money than it takes in. The two old parties have worked reliably together for decades to increase the budget deficit […]

Our playbook
Friend, Super Bowls are won in the off-season. When the TV cameras aren’t rolling, football players spend their months conditioning, strength training, and running plays. Those months and years of preparation determine who wins on game day. The same holds true in politics. Elections are won through months, and years, of preparation and work long […]
Vote Libertarian Today!
Dear Libertarian, I am asking you to vote today. Libertarians are notorious for not voting. This hurts our cause. I know all the lines about how “it is just one vote” and “it won’t make a difference.” But collectively, it does make a difference … sometimes a HUGE difference. The vast majority of you will […]
