As Libertarians, we seek a world of liberty; a world in which all individuals are sovereign over their own lives and no one is forced to sacrifice his or her values for the benefit of others. [1]

The Liberator Online is full of expert tips and libertarian discussion. [2]

The world we seek to build is one where individuals are free to follow their own dreams in their own ways, without interference from government or any authoritarian power. [1]

The Libertarian Party is the third largest and fastest growing political party in the United States. [3]

Government should not censor speech, press, media, or internet. [2]

While not exactly setting the world alight, the Libertarian Party is indeed punching above its weight class in the national political arena. [4]

Cutting government spending across the board. [5]

Our aim is to enable people to hold their healthcare provider to account and, if found wanting, to have the freedom to take their business elsewhere. [6]

We believe that respect for individual rights is the essential precondition for a free and prosperous world, that force and fraud must be banished from human relationships, and that only through freedom can peace and prosperity be realized. [1]

There is a policy review at present to bring the party in line with the economic realities created the State and the Euro debacle. [6]
