...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!

 

My Resignation Letter

E-mail Print PDF

To the voters of Texas State Senate District 8:

I am making this public. If I ever vote for increasing the tax burden or increasing spending, I will turn in my letter of resignation to the Texas Senate within 24 hours.

If I fail to do this, I expect voters to vote against me at the next election, since I clearly cannot be trusted.

In Liberty,

Ed Kless

Support the CCLP and Libertarian Candidates at the Plano Balloon Festival!

Today, we are exactly one month away from our biggest outreach event of the year - the Plano Balloon Festival. With approximately 100,000+ people expected to attend the event this mid-term election year, it is an excellent opportunity to capitalize on the current political climate and reach out to discontented Collin County voters.

Given our huge success last year with one 10x10 booth, the CCLP Executive Committee chose to spend $550.00 and rent two adjacent 10x10 booths for all three days of this year's event! All we need now is your financial support to recoup these costs and your participation to make this event a HUGE success again. See below for more information on how you can support the Collin County Libertarian Party and our candidates running for office.

American Majority Activist Training

Our nation was founded by ordinary citizen activists desiring a government that was accountable to the people. Today, ordinary citizens
across our nation are tired of the status quo and ready to engage for the betterment of their communities.Topics to be covered during the Training include:

  • The System (a look at where our country started, where we are today, the problems that have arisen and how we can take our country back)
  • Precinct Power (changing your community one precinct at a time with specific micro-targeting and focused action)
  • Grassroots Activism (ideas and practical steps to engage our communities and organize a coalition of volunteers)
  • Modern Patriotism (the Founders had printing presses and pamphlets, we have facebook and twitter. How can we use our modern tools to promote liberty?)
  • Digital Pamphleteering (Thomas Paine wrote pamphlets but if he was around today he would be a blogger or wiki contributor. Learn how you can be effective with blogs and wikis online.)
  • Social Capitalism (learn how to use social networks in your fight for conservative victory online. This is an advanced class for online activism)

Full training materials, samples and supplements will be provided to help you apply what you learn to your organization, candidate, cause or community.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
