Welcome to the Libertarian Party of Connecticut. 

We believe the first principle of government is the protection of Life, Liberty and Property.  We believe in the Rule of Law. And, we do not believe in or advocate the initiation of force to achieve political, social, or economic goals.  Since government is force, and it often conflicts with beliefs just stated, we consequently believe in a minimal and restricted state government so as to allow society to form their own voluntary self-governing relationships.

Declaration of Independence
July 4, 1776

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.— That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..............More

The True Spoilers Have Sold Out Our Liberties And Our Property
by Marc Guttman

The mainstream media often professes that a “third” party or independent candidate spoiled some election for one of the adorned parties' candidate.

They'll claim Ralph Nader lost the 2000 presidential election for Al Gore or Ross Perot lost the 1992 presidential election for George H.W. Bush. The truth, however, is that Gore and Bush were no more entitled to our votes than Nader or Perot. In fact, Nader and Perot no more spoiled the elections for their opponents than their opponents spoiled the election for them.

Pundits often argue whether Libertarian candidates “take more votes away from” the Democrats, as Libertarians are stronger on personal liberties, or the Republicans, as Libertarians are stronger on fiscal responsibility. Libertarians also outshine both on peace, promoting nonintervention overseas, preserving rights to privacy and due process, ending corporate subsidies and favoritism, and protecting property rights. And despite recent polls that demonstrate that there are just as many libertarian-minded Americans as there are neoconservatives and neoliberals, the mainstream media continues to tell us which candidates are viable from either of the two establishment parties, side-lining the rest of us..................................................................More
