A Fight For Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
The Libertarian Party was founded in 1971 as a third choice from the two major parties' own definition of
freedom. Each of the two major parties claim they fight for freedom, but define "freedom" differently. For
Libertarians, our form of freedom is radical change to eliminate all unnecessary parts of government.We call ourselves the "Party of Principle" because when we say small government, we actually mean it. When
we say taxation is theft, we actually mean it. Throughout the years, our party has stayed true to its
principles and ran candidates that could best communicate the message of human liberty. We don't make
excuses. Libertarians want you to live your life with as minimal government intrusion possible. As long as
you don't hurt other people or take their stuff, why should we be the ones to tell you how to live?
The Libertarian Party of Georgia is an affiliate of the larger Libertarian Party. Every year, local
libertarians meet together in a convention to decide our leadership, focuses, and candidates we want to run
for public office. Unlike the other two parties who take commands from the top down, our leaders are truly
elected by the membership and without any backroom deals.
