Libertarians
A New Dawn for Freedom
The War on Pot
The War on Pot is a prime example of recycling. Alas, we recycled alcohol prohibition, a religious campaign to use government to regulate private morals. Prohibition failed. It caused crime and government corruption. Unlike beer prohibition, pot prohibition has filled our prisons with hundreds of thousands of pot smokers, who are fed and clothed at your expense.
They do some time, you pay all the time.
Libertarians say Uncle Sam should stay out of your bedroom and your hot tub. Our forefathers did not give their lives at Concord and Lexington so Congress could regulate your private morals.
Protect the Sick
For thousands of Americans, medical marijuana is the one agent that relieves their pain and lets them swallow and keep down their medications. AIDS and cancer sufferers are particularly at risk. For the terminally ill, pot threatens no long-term consequences.
However, the Federal government groups people who use medical marijuana with crack addicts: They're said to be dangerous criminals. The people of Massachusetts disagree. They voted 2:1 in favor of helping the dying to pass without pain. Please help Libertarians change our Federal government.
The War on Civil Liberties
Compulsory drug testing of public school students forces young people who want to join athletic teams or clubs to bear witness against themselves, or forgo the joys of student life.
Civil forfeiture allows the government to seize your property, because they claim the property was drug related—or because it would be valuable at auction. You can sue to get your property back—but they have your money, the money you needed to pay lawyers.
Good luck!
Civil forfeiture means you can lose your house or car or bank account because one of your children or grandparents smokes pot near your home—without telling you.

From Our Chair
Political Change is possible. But if you want political change in America, you need to help bring it. Change will not happen by itself. It will only happen when you and your friends choose to get involved in politics.
Help build a better America.
End the War on Pot!
Join the Libertarian Party!
And a closing thought:
Our Overworked Police—
Too Valuable to Waste
Too many American cities are not safe by night. Too many serious crimes go unsolved and unpunished.
'Too many' has a common cause. Our overworked police forces spend their time pursuing pot smokers, while muggers, rapists, embezzlers, and reckless drivers avoid arrest.
Re-legalizing marijuana, just as alcohol was re-legalized, would release vast numbers of policemen
and policewomen to fight the crimes that endanger our fellow Americans.
