Tired of being in a party that tells you about their principles, but then throws them out the window at the first opportunity?

Welcome home to the Libertarian Party, the Party of Principle!

 

We, the members of the Libertarian Party, challenge the cult of the omnipotent state and defend the rights of the individual. We hold that all individuals have the right to exercise sole dominion over their own lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.

Governments throughout history have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the State has the right to dispose of the lives of individuals and the fruits of their labor. Even within the United States, all political parties other than our own grant to government the right to regulate the lives of individuals and seize the fruits of their labor without their consent.

We, on the contrary, deny the right of any government to do these things, and hold that where governments exist, they must not violate the rights of any individual: namely, (1) the right to life — accordingly we support the prohibition of the initiation of physical force against others; (2) the right to liberty of speech and action — accordingly we oppose all attempts by government to abridge the freedom of speech and press, as well as government censorship in any form; and (3) the right to property — accordingly we oppose all government interference with private property, such as confiscation, nationalization, and eminent domain, and support the prohibition of robbery, trespass, fraud, and misrepresentation.

Since governments, when instituted, must not violate individual rights, we oppose all interference by governments in the areas of voluntary and contractual relations among individuals. People should not be forced to sacrifice their lives and property for the benefit of others. They should be left free by government to deal with one another as free traders; and the resultant economic system, the only one compatible with the protection of individual rights, is the free market.

We hold regular Meetups across Utah, where you can join with other citizens to talk about our concerns and discuss implementable ways to change the course of politics in our state. Click here to find upcoming events near you!

 

Before you celebrate the 249th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, join us for some barbecue and conversation! Our special guest is Paul Darr, who is the Vice Chair of the Libertarian National Committee, helping steer the party into the future.

This is your opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the Libertarian Party, what's going on at national, and learn about what lies ahead in the constant struggle for real personal liberty! Everyone is invited, whether you're a member of the state party, the national party, or even some other party and are simply curious about Libertarian policy and where we go from here.

While Paul resides in Texas, where he comes to us from for this meetup, he has deep family roots here in Utah - so let's show him a great Utah welcome!

We are meeting at R&R Barbecue in Lehi, on their patio, at 6:30 PM. R&R is at 1628 W Traverse Parkway, just off Timpanogos Highway, just a couple of blocks off I-15. Come on in, order your food, and then come out to the patio and hear from Paul!

If you can, please RSVP at our Meetup listing below. There's no additional charge (beyond whatever food you order); registration simply helps us know we have planned adequately for the expected attendance.

Let us know you're attending here!
