- What Exactly Is Libertarianism?
- Libertarianism is the view that you own yourself
and that no one else, not even government, has the right to interfere in your life so
long as you do no harm to others. As David Bergland put it in his
book Libertarianism in One Lesson, "Libertarians approach political,
economic and social issues by placing the highest priority on solutions which let people
solve their own problems, their own way, according to their values. In most
instances, this results in proposals which replace the clumsy, counterproductive approach
of government intervention with more effective and compassionate voluntary cooperation
among the people whose lives are most directly affected."
- Why Should I Join the Libertarian Party?
- If you accept this concept of self-ownership and non-interference in the
lives of others, then it is in your long-term best interest to join the Libertarian Party
at the local, state, and national levels. The Libertarian Party is the only party to state
explicitly this concept of absolute self-ownership. Thus, it is the only current hope for
turning back the foaming tide of increasing government intrusiveness into our privacy and
pocketbooks.
- What Can the Libertarian Party of Brevard (LPB) Do for Me
Locally?
When you join the LPB, your application fee and voluntary
efforts help to promote the LPB mission, which is to downsize the role of
local government and thus promote additional personal and economic freedoms. The LPB
will accomplish this mission by exposing Brevard County voters to
Libertarian ideas, increasing both LPB membership and the number of
registered Libertarians in Brevard County, and ultimately getting Libertarians
appointed or elected to as many positions in Brevard County and local municipalities as
possible. As that happens, elected Libertarians will whittle, then chop, then bulldoze
away layers of useless bureaucracy and meaningless laws that rob individuals of their
money and liberty. |
