Co-Sponsors:  Caryn Ann Harlos, Richard Longstreth, Steven Nekhaila, Justin
O’Donnell, Joshua Smith


Motion: Move to adopt the following resolution:


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.
