Guiding Principles

Guiding Principles of the Libertarian Party of Ohio

#1 Free and responsible people should be able to control their own lives without interference from the government.

#2 Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as he spends his own.

#3 What you own, you tend to take care of; what belongs to no one or everyone tends to fall into disrepair.

#4 Government has nothing to give anybody except what it first takes from somebody. Remember, that a government that's big enough to give you everything you want, is also big enough to take away everything you have.

#5 Sound policy requires that we consider long-term effects and all people, not simply short-term effects and a few people.

#6 Liberty makes all the difference in the world.

The Libertarian Party of Ohio

The Libertarian Party of Ohio (LPO) is the only political party in Ohio dedicated to the principles of smaller, limited government, lower taxes and more personal liberty for the residents of the State of Ohio. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can make this claim. The Libertarian Party of Ohio (LPO) is the third largest political party in the state. Whether the issue is school choice, economic stimulus, gun rights, or property rights, the LPO will always favor the principles of limited government and maximum personal liberty. The Libertarian Party of Ohio has the same vision as the Libertarian Party, which is "for a world in which all individuals can freely exercise the natural right of sole dominion over their own lives, liberty and property by building a political party that elects Libertarians to public office, and moving public policy in a libertarian direction."
