...to the official Collin County Libertarian Party website!

If you are new to the libertarian political philosophy and are here to find more information, you came to the right place.

The Collin County Libertarian Party is your representative in local politics. We are the only political organization which respects you as a unique and competent individual. We believe in the American heritage of freedom, liberty and limited government, and we recognize the responsibility we all share to preserve this precious heritage. We also believe being free and independent is a great way to live and we want a system which encourages all people to choose what they want from life; that which lets them live, love, work, play, and dream their own way.

We promote a caring, people-centered approach to politics. We believe each individual is unique and want a system which respects the individual and encourages each of us to discover the best within ourselves and develop our full potential. The Libertarian way is a logically consistent approach to politics based on the moral principle of self-ownership. Each individual has the right to control his or her own body, action, speech, and property. Government's only role is to help individuals defend themselves from force and fraud.

The Collin County Libertarian Party is for all who don't want to push other people around and don't want to be pushed around themselves. Live and let live is the Libertarian way. We invite you to join us!

 

Another Personal Endorsement

While I did not receive the North Texas Tea Party endorsement two weeks ago at the candidate forum, I did receive the personal endorsement of one of its leaders, Michael Openshaw.

In his endorsement he states:

It was not a decision I take lightly; Ed is a fine articulate fellow and a true believer in the Libertarian message, while Florence had followed a pretty conservative line in the past, only sliding off in the ‘moderate’ realm in the last few sessions.  There are parts of the Libertarian platform - those dealing with drug [law reform] and a [non-interventionist] foreign policy - that I have serious disagreement with and would contest most of the Libertarian objectives there.  However, there is one overriding factor in my decision: Impending national bankruptcy trumps all other issues and the fight for rigid fiscal constraint renders all other issues secondary. And, most importantly, the Republican Party- as it is now and always has been- is NOT the answer.

Florence Shapiro Comes Out of the Libertarian Closet

Well, not really... but during a recent Allen Area Patriots' debate with Ed Kless, she made a facetious remark about wanting to see what Texas would look like under a Libertarian perspective. Much to her chagrin, it backfired and drew a large round of applause from the audience!

There are just two rules of governance in a free society: Mind your own business. Keep your hands to yourself.
