PREAMBLE

Libertarians beheve that each of us should be allowed to plan his or her own future. We believe that individuals have the right to deal with their own problems. This can be done individually or by working with others in a peacefid and honest way. We reject the initiation of force by anyone, including government.

Today our government uses force, or the threat of force, to achieve most of its goals. Repeated failures by our government have shown us that this is not a practical approach. As Libertarians, we also beheve that this use of force is immoral.

Libertanans seek a world in which voluntary cooperation replaces force in human relationships. We recognize that such a world cannot be achieved overnight. We have identified several important issues which are topics currently in the pohtical spotlight. In each case, we believe there are substanfial changes that could be made to move toward our goal -- replacing aggression and force with peace and cooperation,

Toward that end, we offer the following Program.
