For Immediate Release Ron Paul Campaign Chief Elected Chair of Minnesota Libertarian Party Consensus candidates take the helm of a battered ship Golden Valley, MN (April 17, 2023) — After years of factional infighting, the Libertarian Party of Minnesota has unified around their new chair, Marianne Stebbins. Stebbins, known for her success as State Coordinator and Campaign Chair of former Congressman Ron Paul’s presidential races in 2008 and 2012, said, “I couldn’t be more impressed with the team we put together this weekend.” The godfather of the modern Libertarian movement, Ron Paul found par ..read more

Chair (1 seat, 2-year term) Rebecca Whiting I have tried in my life to follow the path set before me. To be brave enough to continue on even through the failures and the trials, and to persevere no matter what the cost. And I believe in leaving behind a legacy for our future that we can be proud of. Not because I want the glory, but because I LOVE my children, and I will love my future grandchildren with equal wholeheartedness. In every area of my life, I have tried to steer our family to live free- from homeschooling to homesteading, to self employment and acquiring skills that allows us to b ..read more

Recent actions of our state legislature in Minnesota demonstrate the lack of respect so many politicians have for their own populace, as well as the fear they have of what would happen if those people really exercised their voice in our political system. This past week, a bill was put forward in the Minnesota Senate to redefine a “major party” in our state. To qualify as a major party, which makes it far easier to appear on ballots and increases access to funding and other support, a party must (among other things) get at least a certain percentage of the vote in one or more statewide races wi ..read more

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is not our fight As a staunch anti-war libertarian, I believe that the United States and NATO should stay completely out of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The situation is complex, with a long history of tensions and conflicting interests. While it’s true that Russia invaded Ukraine to prevent NATO expansion, it’s not our fight. The American empire should not be intervening in every conflict around the world, especially when it’s not in our national interest. It’s important to understand that military intervention comes with a high cost. The United States has been ..read more

At long last, the movement to legalize cannabis in Minnesota has reached the DFL. The Libertarian Party of Minnesota would like to thank the countless marijuana legalization activists and advocates for their tireless work spanning decades. While the LPMN would prefer a full repeal of all existing marijuana laws, we don’t want the perfect to be the enemy of the good. Broadly speaking, marijuana legalization is a good thing. Aside from the principle of allowing people to make their own choices about what they put in their bodies, marijuana offers real health benefits to many. Further, legaliz ..read more

September 29, 2022, Minneapolis, Minnesota – Last week the US Department of Justice filed fraud charges against 47 defendants associated with the nonprofit Feeding Our Future. The organization is alleged to have fleeced taxpayers out of $250 million, laundering the money through their school lunch program during the COVID pandemic. As usual, when talking about the across-the-board failure of Minnesota’s COVID response, Governor Tim Walz is implicated. Crimes like those alleged against Feeding Our Future exist only because ostensibly private industries like Feeding Our Future are allowed to get ..read more

This establishment once stood for freedom of speech and expression. Apparently, that is no longer the case as Dave Chappelle’s show in Minneapolis on Wednesday was canceled just hours before he was set to take the stage. All because of his recent jokes that did not even come close to qualifying as hate speech, (the accusation that the activists are claiming.) . Pathetic. . Disingenuous. . Woke mob kowtowing. . Are they living a life so void of hardship and empathy that they cannot fathom the necessity of comedy for people and the trans communities alike Perhaps the corporate and governm ..read more

The Democrats and Republicans have, once again, come to a “bipartisan agreement” on how to better spend our money rather than giving it back to us or,  simply, not taking it from us, to begin with. With a record 9.2 billion dollar surplus in the Minnesota budget, lawmakers that are working with governor Walz and the Republican leadership decided to “invest” it in education, public safety, healthcare, and human services.   This is all being planned as a 4 billion dollar “investment,” along with another 4 billion dollars invested in “financial relief” to Minnesotans… as opposed to givi ..read more
