+'''The Libertarian Party of Puerto Rico''' is a web-based effort founded circa 2012 that promotes Libertarian solutions.  Its present leadership is difficult to identify.
-The '''Libertarian Party of Puerto Rico (LPPR)''' was the [[Puerto Rico]] affiliate of the [[Libertarian Party of the United States]]. The original party was founded in May, 1997 in [[Santurce]], Puerto Rico. It held its first meeting at a Denny's restaurant. Its formation was largely spearheaded by local talk-radio host [[Frank Worley]] and pro-statehood activist [[Jose Julio Diaz]], who were able to bring together a small group of Puerto Rican libertarians. The party was sporadically active between 1997 and 1999, until fading away around the turn of the century.
+An earlier organization was founded in 1997 in Santurce, Puerto Rico.  It included talk radio host [[Frank Worley]] and statehood activist [[Jose Julio Diaz]].  This version of the organization fell apart by the end of 1999.
-The Libertarian Party of Puerto Rico never obtained ballot access on the island and ran no known candidates under its name. A more recent version of the party is now a web-based micro-movement that aims to raise awareness of libertarianism and its potential role in the island.
