The Libertarian Party is the third largest and fastest growing political party in the U.S. The Libertarian party is dedicated to strictly limited government, a pure free market economy, private property rights, civil liberties, personal freedoms with personal responsibilities, and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade.

Libertarian Party Weekly Newsletter


Friends! We heard you!

In the first LPKS Survey you all made it clear that these emails are important to you and that you'd like to see your party have more and better communication.  We heard you and we are putting things in place.

First, we are moving to a more complete email service provider.  With this email provider we can not only have more visually appealing emails, but are empowered with better list management.  With full integration to our website's email signup, our email list will stay current while making it easier for you to invite your friends and family to join the Libertarian Party email list. Please be patient as we test the capabilities of the new email service, and figure out how best to use the new tools at our disposal.

We also have appointed volunteer David Mountain to help assure that our LPKS Page on Facebook remains active with Liberty-related content.  Social media is a great tool to educate Liberty-leaning friends and family, so be sure to "like" our page on Facebook and share the LPKS liberty-related messages that you think might engage your Facebook friends.

We have other things in the works, and as they mature, you'll here about them in upcoming emails.

State Convention News

The Libertarian Party of Kansas State Convention was held on April 20th.  During the meeting, the business of the party is conducted to prepare us for the coming year which we expect to be even busier than past year.

The LPKS has experienced seven consecutive years of registered voter growth including approximately 13% growth in the last 18 months.  Additionally, 2012 saw record high Libertarian vote totals and many new county groups forming across the state.

Business included electing executive committee officers to two-year terms. The newly elected LPKS officers are:
  • Chairman- Al Terwelp of Overbrook
  • Vice-Chairman- Rob Hodgkinson of Stilwell
  • Treasurer-Michael Ogle of Topeka
  • Secretary-Mike Kerner of Lenexa
  • District 1Coordinator - Barry Albin of Council Grove
  • District 2 Coordinator - Robert Garrard of Edgerton
  • District 3 Coordinator - Jeff Caldwell of Overland Park
  • District 4 Coordinator -Steve Rosile of Wichita
Awards for volunteers were also given. Receiving awards for most impactful volunteers (the Seth and Maike Warren Awards) were Earl McIntosh and Sharon DuBois of Topeka and the Light of Liberty award for most substantial non-member partner in the work of liberty was attorney Lucas Thompson also of Topeka.

Members in attendance also voted to amend both the party constitution and by-laws.  Details of those changes are available on the LPKS.org website HERE
