[Lnc-business] Seeking Co-Sponsors for Resolution to Re-Affirm The LP's Stance For Property Rights

[Steven Nekhaila]

Dear Colleagues,

I invite you to co-sponsor the following resolution which disavows 
socialist & communist policies and re-affirms the Libertarian Party 
position on championing property rights.

Co-Sponsors: Joshua Smith, Justin O'Donnel, and Caryn Ann Harlos

WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party supports the free market and therefore 
the right of privatization of property as an extension of the 
individual;

WHEREAS, the Statement of Principles of The Libertarian Party explicitly 
supports the right to private property ownership, including the right to 
do business utilizing that property as capital;

WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party strongly supports the rights of 
individuals to own private property including land, structures, natural 
resources and other private space through homesteading, purchase, and 
other lawful libertarian means;

WHEREAS, ownership of private property, including but not limited to 
land and housing, does not require continual or personal use to exist as 
justly owned property unless otherwise abandoned;

WHEREAS, these have been part of the principles of the Libertarian Party 
since its inception;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that socialist and communist property 
ownership schemes, including the collectivization of property, unlawful 
usurpation of property, and incorrect characterizations of private 
property, unless otherwise voluntarily agreed by all parties, are 
incompatible with the philosophy of the Libertarian Party.


In Liberty,

Steven Nekhaila
Region 2 Representative
Libertarian National Committee
