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 spoken, as it was meant to be.

Re-emergence of an American Tradition:
Tax Protesting
By Marc Guttman

Historically, thousands of brave citizens have refused to pay taxes so as not to support what they believe are immoral actions by our government. Tax resistance has again increased in popularity over the last decade with many protesting the American wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Peace activist heroes throughout history have participated in this type of civil disobedience. Henry David Thoreau was imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes as a protest against the American war on Mexico and slavery.
