The Shenandoah County
    Libertarian Party

        “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…”

-- From the Declaration of Independence
 

Introducing...
THE SHENANDOAH COUNTY
            LIBERTARIAN PARTY

Only the Libertarians…

• Want you to keep your money, not give it to politicians and special interests!

• Want governments to get out of businesses that are provided more efficiently by the private sector – just why is it that government is providing trash collection, anyway?

• Ask governments to get out of micromanaging your life – where is it written governments have the right to tell you what color to paint your mailbox?

DAY:  Meetings are always held on the last Wednesday of every month.

TIME:  Join us at 6:30 for our dinner social.  We will discuss county LP activities beginning at 7:00.  Meeting business usually lasts for about twenty minutes.  Just time enough to have dessert!

PLACE:  Meetings are rotated between the three major towns of Shenandoah County (Strasburg, Woodstock, and New Market).  Please write to the Shenandoah LP, either by mail at PO Box 118, Edinburg VA  22824-0118, or via email at Shenandoah@LPVA.com for the location & particulars of the next meeting.  Notices will also be sent out via email and regular mail.  Let us know if you would like to be added to the mailing list.

ATTENDANCE: Any resident of Shenandoah County may attend; membership in the LP is not required -- just an interest in learning more about us.  Non-county residents may attend by invitation.

Statement of Purpose
 

 The Shenandoah County Libertarian Party was founded in June of 2000 to begin competing in elections within the county.  Our goal is to spread awareness and acceptance of Libertarian solutions to various problems the Shenandoah Valley faces.

The Shenandoah Libertarians are currently recruiting candidates for public office – please contact us if you’ve ever thought about running!

Do you believe the current crop of elected officials share your view that the best government governs least?

Think again.

Traditional tax-and-spend Democrats and Republicans treat the public Treasury as their piggy bank, to be broken into at will.

It’s time for a different attitude.

Join us.

The only legitimate function of government is to protect individual rights.  Only when someone initiates force or fraud against another should the government step in.

The Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the United States, with almost 350 elected officeholders and about a quarter of a million registered Libertarians across the country.

In the 2000 elections, Libertarian candidates earned over three and a half million votes from over one million different voters.
