| | Libertarian Party (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Libertarian Party claims to currently be the largest third party in the United States, a nation which is overwhelmingly dominated by two major parties who typically capture more than 95% of the vote in partisan elections. | | | Tommy Thompson, won 11% running for the same office, resulting in a seat on the state elections board for the Libertarian Party, the only one for a third party in the U.S. As of October 2004, the Libertarians ranked fifth in voter registration nationally. | | | No other current third party has finished third in a presidential election more than once, nor have they received an electoral college vote, as the Libertarian candidate did in 1972 (from a renegade Nixon elector). |

| | Libertarians : The candidate will be chosen by delegates to the Libertarian Party National Convention on May 30, 2004 in Atlanta, Georgia. | | | Note: An incumbent president in the U.S. seeking reelection has nearly always won his party's nomination ( Franklin Pierce, Grover Cleveland, and arguably Lyndon Johnson are exceptions). | | | Oct 10-12, 2003 - Reform Party convention in Diamondhead, Mississippi apparently decides not to run a candidate for President. |

| | History |
| | Libertarians start a campaign to send free-market books to Lithuania and other Eastern European countries, trying to help the transition from Communism to liberty. | | | In November, the Libertarian Party becomes the first third party in American history to earn ballot status in all 50 states two presidential elections in a row. | | | While Marrou¹s vote in the general election is disappointing -- 281,000 -- there is good news in local and state elections: four Libertarian Party state legislators are elected in New Hampshire. |

| | An Exchange Between David F. Nolan and Doris Gordon |
| | Libertarians for Life also has available other articles on abortion and the LP platform. | | | The 1992 platform, adopted August 1991 in Chicago, Illinois, inserted a new "Family Life" plank between "Women's Rights and Abortion" and "Children's Rights." Its point about contract does not address the problem that children are not, originally at least, contractual parties. | | | But the main statement on abortion was moved to a new plank, "Women's Rights." Among the additional points in this new plank was an indirect acknowledgment that many libertarians object to the LP's support for abortion. |

| | Debate is likely to continue indefinitely on such matters as abortion, foreign policy and whether, when, and how various government programs can be discontinued or privatized. | | | But criminal possession laws are an affront to liberty, whatever the rhetoric used to defend them. | | | We only wish that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution said "The right to self-defense being inalienable..." instead of that stuff about a "well-regulated militia". |

| | Libertarian Party Convention 2004 Report |
| | Nolan: Get the evidence to Congress and let them decide whether or not declare war anywhere. | | | In the half day devoted to the Platform Committee meeting Doris Gordon and others who would outlaw abortion yet again wasted more than an hour of valuable time with proposals that would allow libertarian candidates to freely promote all sorts of onerous federal, state and local laws to regulate women's bodies and lives. | | | In case it did not pass, a couple of us had some protests planned, but our efforts were unnecessary -- a reassuring 75% of delegates voted to retain it. |

| | Libertarian Party: Press Center: Op-Eds |
| | Last year, 256 Libertarians ran for the U.S. House -- the first time in 80 years that any third party had contested a majority of Congressional seats. | | | The Libertarian Party has helped to fundamentally shift the nature of American political debate -- even though it has yet to elect a member of Congress or a president. | | | Indeed, as other alternative parties struggle or fade, the Libertarian Party is clearly the only viable national alternative to the Democrats and Republicans. |
