Sherman County Libertarian Party
Supporting and growing libertarian principles in Sherman County, Oregon.
Parental Rights
We advocate for the liberty of parents to direct the upbringing, education, and care of their children.
Economic Rights
Each person has the right to offer goods and services to others free of government interference. We advocate for private property rights and for less taxes.
Self-defense Rights
Individuals have the right to defend themselves, their families, and their property. All infringement of our gun rights is unacceptable. No compromise.
Personal Liberty
Individuals are inherently free to make choices for themselves and must accept responsibility for the consequences of the choices they make. Our support of an individual’s right to make choices in life does not mean that we necessarily approve or disapprove of those choices. No individual, group, or government may rightly initiate force against any other individual, group, or government. Libertarians reject the notion that groups have inherent rights. We support the rights of the smallest minority, the individual.
Economic Liberty
Libertarians want all members of society to have abundant opportunities to achieve economic success. A free and competitive market allocates resources in the most efficient manner. Each person has the right to offer goods and services to others on the free market. The only proper role of government in the economic realm is to protect property rights, adjudicate disputes, and provide a legal framework in which voluntary trade is protected. All efforts by government to redistribute wealth, or to control or manage trade, are improper in a free society.
Securing Liberty
In the United States, constitutional limits on government were intended to prevent the infringement of individual rights by those in power. The only proper purpose of government, should it exist, is the protection of individual rights. The principle of non-initiation of force should guide relationships between governments.
