ANARCHIST - Borders, like governments, shouldn't even exist. vs FASCIST - Build a wall. If anyone tries to get in or out, shoot them. Invade Poland. Blame it on Poland.
Amici Brief in Support of the Appeal of Caryn Ann Harlos Introduction This amici brief supports Caryn Ann Harlos’ appeal against her suspension by the Libertarian National Committee (LNC). The LNC alleges that Ms. Harlos disrupted the Party's “tranquility” by ensuring ballot access for Chase Oliver in Colorado. However, evidence from our donor sentiment data demonstrates that dissatisfaction with the LNC predates and overshadows Ms. Harlos’ actions. The suspension reflects deeper issues within the LNC and is inconsistent with Party principles, due process, and its stated governance standards.

PEACEFUL FOREIGN POLICY opposes foreign wars and entanglements, and supports pursuing diplomatic solutions wherever possible. Our military should be brought home and refocused on the defense of the citizens of the United States. Tariffs and economic sanctions impose immense economic costs, fail to achieve their stated policy goals, and foster political dysfunction.

ECONOMIC FREEDOM allows individuals to hire, buy, sell, and trade, without hindrance. Restricting the sale of products or services through barriers to entry and other impositions, such as Occupational Licensing, barrier crime laws, Certificates of Need, retail licensing, and restrictive zoning, are a violation of property rights.
FREEDOM OF INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT AND TRADE allows peaceful persons and goods to cross borders. National immigration quotas, limits on temporary work visas, protectionist tariffs, and other measures such as the Jones Act are not necessary for national security, produce negative economic effects, and are harmful to human liberty.
RULE OF LAW should be preserved by abolishing any laws that do not protect one person’s life, liberty, or property from direct harm by another, or restrict a person’s ability to protect themselves and others. Carceral punishment and the death penalty are unjust, and a just system should focus on restoring those harmed, not perpetuating harm. Policies that remove essential due process and inhibit the ability of our system to provide justice, such as excessive cash bail, coercive plea bargaining, and qualified immunity, should be abolished.
THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT is to protect the inherent natural rights of the individual. Those rights include, but are not limited to, life, liberty, property, expression, and the pursuit of happiness. There is no better way to preserve and promote those individual rights than the Rule of Law, freedom of international movement and trade, economic freedom, peaceful foreign policy, sound monetary policy, democratic principles, and respect for human dignity.
