"Illegal taking of a black bear" sounds like a crime straight from the arbitrary book of George III.
Granby homeowner was arrested over the weekend for allegedly shooting dead a bear he said was attacking his livestock. wtnh.com/news/connecticut/ha…

The health sector is the farthest thing from a free market.
Why is your health insurance tied to your job? In the 1940s, the U.S. government capped cash wages. To compete for labor, companies started offering untaxed health coverage instead. In 1954, Congress made it permanent, locking Americans into getting healthcare from their employers forever.

Official Statement from the Libertarian Party The Libertarian Party does not condone calls for political violence or the initiation of force. The organization in New Hampshire currently making violent extremist comments is not affiliated with the Libertarian Party and does not speak for our party. The Libertarian National Committee disaffiliated that organization in May. The Libertarian Party Judicial Committee later unanimously rejected its appeal. The official Libertarian Party affiliate recognized in New Hampshire is @GraniteStateLP. The Non-Aggression Principle is a fundamental core of libertarianism. It is not optional, and it is central to what our party stands for. All members of the Libertarian Party are required to take the Libertarian Party Membership Pledge: “I hereby certify that I oppose the initiation of force as a means of achieving political or social goals.” Political and social change must be pursued through peaceful, voluntary means — not violence, threats, or aggression.

Only the Libertarian Party trusts individuals to achieve their own goals with their own means. Government can only exacerbate social conflicts and amplify economic costs.
“The solution to our problems is not more paternalism, laws, decrees, or controls, but the restoration of liberty and free enterprise.” - Henry Hazlitt

Joint statement from the Chair and vice-Chair of the Vermont Libertarian party: The calls for violence by the now disaffiliated and fraudulent political club known as LPNH are antithetical to the core of libertarian beliefs. This republic was founded upon the idea and ideals of equal rights for all people and a government by the consent of the governed. The founders placed numerous checks and balances in the new Constitution to ensure continued peaceful transitions of power because they had just fought and sacrificed so greatly. Domestic tranquility and the blessings of liberty were what they desired for us - their posterity - and it would be deeply unwise to ignore this and throw it away for factional interests. As libertarianism is premised upon the foundations of non-aggression and equal natural rights for all, we stand for peaceable political change and against violence. The bottom line is that the Libertarian National Committee officially kicked LPNH out of the party back in May, and this was unanimously confirmed by the Judicial committee during the appeal. The Granite State Libertarian party is the correct and proper affiliate of the national Libertarian party, and we welcome our new neighbors with glad hearts and goodwill.

Only the Libertarian Party maintains the individualism of sound philosophy and economists while the old parties descend to the collectivist impulses of selfish ad hoc partisanship.
F.A. Hayek‘s “Individualism: True and False” is one of the best essays on libertarianism, refuting the straw man version coming from MAGA establishment elites who feel threatened by a deeply American philosophy. fee.org/ebooks/individualism…

Developers should not be required to set aside any number of units as "affordable" units. However, the cartel of single family home owners that dominates most municipalities in Connecticut should not have veto power over the plans of how their neighbors intend to use their own private property. Rather than choosing sides between two statist constituencies the General Assembly ought to let the free market do its job.

Whether its municipal police or the President of the United States, the unrestrained scope of the executive branch should be alarming to all Americans at all times.

The cameras have indeed enabled abuses and “infringements” against members of the public. But Trump often speaks of the police as if they’re too constrained to do their jobs properly and says he wishes they could simply act with impunity. – @JoeRLancaster reason.com/2026/09/16/trump-…

The Libertarian Party is the only political party that preserves the true liberalism of our country's greatest founders like Jefferson. Only Libertarians trust people to be personally responsible with their own decisions and own lives without government interference.
Jeffery Tyler Syck (@tylersyck) explains why Jefferson’s liberalism led him to choose three achievements for his tombstone: the Declaration of Independence, the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedm, and the University of Virginia. liberalism.org/p/jefferson-s…

Politicians and police unions scream "safety" as if the world was a horrific place before the state put a camera on every street.
Dozens of Milford residents urged aldermen to end the Flock camera program over privacy and data security concerns, but the board voted 9-6 to keep it. fox61.com/article/news/local…

The Libertarian Party of Connecticut is the only political party in our state that decisively opposing traffic surveillance cameras and all of the government abuses that come with them. You can find us tomorrow at Milford City Hall to remind Republican and Democratic aldermen that their ballot monopoly will end if they vote the wrong way. Let us know if you would like us to show up in your town if Flock or another important liberty-oriented issue will be on the agenda. lpct.org/contact

If we needed any more examples about the massive failure of central planning we can look toward the American prison system.
Among the longest and most important stories that @reason has published. If you care about law, liberty, and justice, read C.J. Ciaramella's deeply researched, richly reported history of prisons in America. reason.com/2026/09/08/the-am…

Its worth remembering that representatives from New Haven led the way on getting these things passed into law. New Haven needs a whole new set of politicians.

The majority of Americans who are neither Republican nor Democrat ought to consider the existence of an opposition party as their greatest political priority.
370 members of both parties voted to keep spending at deficit levels, two weeks after the debt crossed $40 trillion. There is no opposition party on spending. That's the whole problem. The only honest fix is cutting expenditures.

The burden of proof should always be on the state. This is true for proving guilt in criminal trial and is equally true for the state to justify its legislative work to a jury. Jury nullification is a valuable piece of the checks and balances that preserve individual liberty.
A new campaign by the Cato Institute aims to educate jurors on their right to refuse to enforce unjust laws and punishments reason.com/2026/09/04/the-ri…

Massie is the only remaining Congressman who represents all of our freedom all of the time.
Massie officially files bill to cut federal funding for Flock-style cameras. “The federal government shouldn’t provide 'security' grants to cities and police departments that have gone beyond the pale and turned their communities into a version of 1984.” whas11.com/article/news/poli…
