Responsibile, competent, and tolerant Libertarianism.
Welcome to the website of the Libertarian Party of Marion County in Indiana. We are affiliated with the national Libertarian Party and the Libertarian Party of Indiana. The Libertarian Party is the third largest political party in the United States and is the only non-major party with ballot access in the state of Indiana. Marion County is home to Indianapolis and is the largest affiliated county in Indiana.
Libertarians believe in being SERVED by a small, non-intrusive government that is financially responsible, administratively competent and socially tolerant.
"Libertarians believe the answer to America's political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom that marks this country above all others; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America's founders."

The Self-Absorption of the Syrian Discussion
It is completely self-absorbed and arrogant to launch military strikes on another country to save the credibility of a President, the Presidency, or a nation. This really hit home last night as I watched an interview with a Syrian activist. His message: Save your bombs. You don’t care about us anyways, and you’ve now put […]
Indiana Must Have Solved all of its Murder, Rape, Robbery, Burglary and Child Molest Cases
I am so glad Indiana has solved all of its murder, rape, robbery, burglary and child molest cases. Otherwise, why spend so much time on possession of alcohol by a minor cases? From the Indianapolis Star: “Excise Police arrest 46 at Ball State on move…
