Ft Bend County Libertarian Party Principles
The Libertarian philosophy, which forms the foundation of the Ft Bend County Libertarian Party, is deeply aligned with the values of freedom and self-reliance that Texans hold dear. These Libertarian principles of individual liberty, personal responsibility, and limited government will keep Ft Bend County strong, prosperous, and proud, allowing our community to thrive without the burdens of excessive government control.
These principles are the foundation upon which our nation was built, and they should be the standard to which we hold our elected officials accountable. We encourage all citizens to embrace and exemplify these values, helping to preserve our freedoms and strengthen our community’s commitment to a truly free and civil society.
Individual Liberty
Every person has the right to make their own choices and should be accountable for the consequences. Freedom thrives when individuals act with integrity and self-reliance.
Free Markets
A competitive marketplace encourages innovation, creates jobs, and drives prosperity. Government should allow businesses and individuals to freely trade and operate without burdensome regulations.
Limited Government
Government should be restricted to protecting individual rights and maintaining law and order. Excessive government intervention stifles freedom, economic growth, and personal responsibility.
Fiscal Discipline
Government must balance budgets, lower taxes, and eliminate wasteful spending to ensure economic stability and avoid burdening future generations with debt.
Property Rights
The right to own and control property is essential for a free society. Government overreach in taxation, eminent domain, or excessive regulations must be opposed to protect individual ownership.
Right to Bear Arms
Individuals have the right to defend themselves, their families, and their property. The Second Amendment guarantees this right without restrictions.
Law and Liberty
The framework of our government must uphold the Constitution, ensuring that individual freedoms are protected and government powers remain limited.
Defend Peace
A strong defense is vital for protecting our sovereignty, while unnecessary foreign interventions should be avoided to maintain lasting peace.
