Do you believe that you have the right to smoke pot? Have oral sex with any consenting adult? Perhaps keep most of the money you get paid? The Libertarian party is the most moderate (or extreme) political party in Pennsylvania. We believe you have these rights and so many more. Our political philosophy stems from a classical liberal standpoint. The essence of what we believe is that everyone should be free to live, work, and play in a manner they see fit. We believe that you have the right to do whatever you want as long as you do not infringe upon other peoples rights.
Now you�re probably thinking, �But don�t I already have that freedom? I mean come on this is the good old US of A.� The answer to that is: No, the freedom that you have is limited. Everyday people are getting arrested for using drugs. In some states oral sex between two consenting adults is illegal. As you already know you do not get to keep most of the money shown on your paycheck. You will lose even more money when you graduate. Are these our only grievances? It is argued that every amendment to the constitution, in the Bill of Rights, is being violated explicitly except the third amendment. In spirit, the National Guard being stationed in apartments in Puerto Rico and the FBI�s carnivore program are violating this amendment. This is only the beginning. Its incredible to examine what the government does today which is unconstitutional. Oh sure, you can justify anything with the interstate commerce clause of the Constitution. However, once you start down that slippery slope where can the government stop? How many of your rights are you willing to give up to the government before you say anything?
The Libertarian party has solutions to today�s problems. They do not call for more bureaucracy. Our solutions are not going to rob your paychecks for little in return. Granted, we cannot create a utopia, but we can create a more just world. A libertarian-oriented world is a world where everyone has more opportunities to pursue happiness. The College Libertarians of Albright invite you to come and learn about libertarian philosophy, solutions, and to work towards a more libertarian world. You do not have to switch your political party, agree with us on every issue, or know and/or like anything about politics. Together we can learn and work towards a better world for everyone. You don�t believe your rights are in danger? You don�t believe that there are solutions to today�s problems that do not call for more government? Want to learn more but don�t want to go to a meeting? That�s, we suggest you check out our web page: http://campuslp.org/ac. From there you will be able to take a quiz to see if you are a libertarian, learn about libertarianism, learn about the College Libertarians of Albright, find out when we meet, and so much more. We do not believe that we know the best way for you to live, we are only trying to enable you to live the way you feel fit.
