Libertarian Party Calls for Restoring the Fourth Amendment
Thanks to the brave and patriotic actions of whistleblower Edward Snowden, Americans now know that their Fourth Amendment rights have been blown out of the water; that the government has been routinely spying on millions of Americans.
Your telephone calls, emails, text messages, chat sessions, and Skype sessions are no longer private. The National Security Agency — the NSA — has put virtually every American under surveillance. You're being watched, listented to, and tracked just about everywhere.
And it's not just the NSA that is invading your privacy. Cameras, mounted on toll booths and in cities across America, enable government officials to know where you are and where you've been. Authorities can break into your home with a no-knock "sneak and peak" court order from a secret judge. The IRS and other government regulators can access your bank records without your knowledge or consent. And the government has authorized thousands of agents to look at your personal medical records. If Obamacare ever goes into effect, it will get even worse.

Fox News covers
Libertarian Sarvis, Virginia candidate for governor
Rob Sarvis,
LP Virginia
Candidate for Governor
Fox News reports:
"Sarvis is hoping to ride the country’s recent wave of Libertarian enthusiasm long enough to at least shake up a race in which voters are showing unfavorable opinions for Democratic nominee Terry McAuliffe and Republican nominee Ken Cuccinelli."
"Chuck Moulton, the state party chairman, told the Huffington Post that Sarvis’ background as an entrepreneur and lawyer impressed party leaders, who...saw in him the 'opportunity to give voters a different choice.'”

Will record low
approval ratings for Democrats and Republicans mean more Libertarian votes?
Republicans
and Democrats have a stranglehold on the U.S. political system, and the media
helps them maintain their power, said Libertarian Party director Carla Howell
in an
interview with PressTV last week. By supporting the Libertarian Party and
its candidates, voters can reject the the astronomical taxes, spending, debt,
and regulations that both Democrat and Republican politicians almost
consistently support.

Libertarian
Michael Brennan hopes to slash millions in proposed county spending
Michael Brennan,
LP Michigan
Candidate for Livingston
County Commissioner
"This is after saying for a few years that we're short on money," Brennan said. "I can't see the need for spending $12 million."
Brennan acknowledged that so much prison space wouldn't be needed in the first place if not for the sweeping trend of regulation, prohibition, and criminalization sponsored by Big Government politicians. Although he wouldn't have purview over changing those laws as a county commissioner, he does hope to get other people thinking about these issues while in office.
"I think we could start the conversation," Brennan said. "We can withhold some funds, and the townships are going to have to figure out what they call crimes."

Libertarian
response to question about whether President Barack Obama’s vacation is overly
extravagant
From statement made by Carla Howell, Director, National Libertarian
Party, to PressTV:
“When President Obama is at work, he raises taxes, raises government spending to dangerous levels, and causes further unemployment in America. [He] meddles in foreign affairs, causes unrest in foreign countries and expands the military-industrial complex. He expands the welfare state, making more people dependent on government and leaving fewer people able to earn money on their own.
“Rarely does he do anything to help.
“This is why most libertarians are happy for him to be on vacation and hope that he would stay on vacation for the rest of his presidential term.”

President
Obama’s vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, which cost taxpayers an estimated
$250,000–$500,000, is chump change compared to what the federal government
spends every hour ($434,132,420.00) of every day
($10,419,178,082.00).
From statement made by Carla Howell, Director, National Libertarian
Party, to PressTV:“When President Obama is at work, he raises taxes, raises government spending to dangerous levels, and causes further unemployment in America.
