The Libertarian Party was founded on the basic ideas of [[Libertarianism]].  This philosophy is rooted in ideas such as Self-Ownership, The Ownership of Property, and the [[Objectivism|Objectivist]] notion of man as a heroic being.
 
Founded in one man's house among friends, the LP has grown to considerable size, reaching almost 1 million voters in a presidential election, and is the first party ever to have run a woman who has gotten an electoral vote.  In [[2006]], over 13,400,000 votes were cast for Libertarian candidates.
 
The LP runs on a grassroots Jeffersonian ideal where individuals take the stand.  The party has people from all political breeds, and has many variations on it's main ideas, yet the major ideas hold true.
<!-- This paragraph is obsolete.  Please update before uncommenting (Masters is no longer a sheriff, for example)
It is the third party with the most elected officials in the United States with some 300 elected, and 300 appointed, these officials stand for Liberty even on the smallest level.  Most of these positions include, School Boards, City Council, Water control, Park Control, Selectman, Mayors and one Sheriff, [[Bill Masters]] the highest position holding Libertarian. -->
 
 
==History==
In 1971, the [[Committee to Form a Libertarian Party]] was established to determine if a new political party was needed, or if one of the existing political parties was a suitable.  It has been documented that [[Richard Nixon]]'s 90 day price and wage freeze in August of that year was a deciding factor in the decision to form the LP. 
 
On 11 December, the committee pulled the trigger, and the committee was replaced by the Libertarian Party.  Notice was published in [[Reason Magazine]]<ref>http://lpedia.org/Mickey%2C_Me_and_the_LP</ref> and possibly other places, which helped efforts to bootstrap the party going into its [[1972 Libertarian National Convention|First National Convention]].
 
At the Denver convention, [[Ed Carlson]] proposed a [[Statement of Principles]], and the final draft was a minor variation of one proposed by [[John Hospers]].  It was expected that other planks would be routinely removed from the platform as they ceased to be timely or relevant.  The [[Libertarian National Committee]] was set up, [[Susan Nolan]] was elected national chair, and the first national ticket was [[John Hospers]] for President and [[Tonie Nathan]] for Vice President.
 
While the Libertarian Party soon discovered the hard way how difficult it was to get on ballots, its presence on two states was adequate to attract the attention of an unhappy Republican elector, [[Roger MacBride]], who gave the Hospers/Nathan ticket his vote, making [[Tonie Nathan]] the first woman and the first ethnic Jew to receive an electoral vote.

;'''[[1995]]'''
:Membership and voter registrations soar to record levels. The LP moves its national headquarters into the prestigious Watergate Office Building, which the Wall Street Journal dubs "a sign of the times" of the party's growing stature.
 
:In November, three more Libertarians are elected to city councils: [[Bruce Van Buren]] (Avondale Estates, Georgia), [[Dewayne Methaney]] (Auburn, Georgia), and [[Doug Carlsten]] (Brighton, Colorado.)
 
;'''[[1996]]'''
:The Libertarian Party becomes the first third party in American history to earn ballot status in all 50 states two presidential elections in a row. At the nominating convention in Washington, DC, best-selling author [[Harry Browne]] gets the party's nomination. He goes on to win 485,759 votes in the general election, the second-best showing in party history.
 
:The party runs almost 800 candidates for office, and 10 of them break the 100,000-vote barrier. LP candidates for statewide and federal office alone win 5.4 million votes, and seven Libertarians are elected or re-elected to office.
 
;'''[[1997]]'''
:Another record-setting "off-year" election for the Libertarian Party, with 39 Libertarians elected to office in November -- including four city council winners: [[Fred Collins]] (Berkley, Michigan); [[Ron Wittig]] (New Meadows, Idaho); [[Bob DeBrosse]] (Piqua, Ohio); and [[John Gearhart]] (Palous, Washington). In all, 64 party members join the ranks of Libertarian office-holders during the course of the year.
 
;'''[[1998]]'''

;'''[[1999]]'''
:The party breaks new ground in political activism with its Internet-based campaign against the FDIC's "Know Your Customer" bank spying regulation. After being flooded by 250,000 complaints, the FDIC withdraws the plan.
 
:Party founder David Nolan is named one of the "2,000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 20th Century" by the International Biographical Centre in England. Fourteen Libertarians are elected to office in local Spring elections, and more than 200 Libertarian candidates are on the ballot in state and local elections in November.
 
;'''[[2000]]'''
:A "Boycott Nosy Census Questions" campaign during the spring generates national newspaper, radio, and TV publicity for the party.
 
:The number of registered Libertarian voters passes 224,000, a 10% increase in less than a year. Folksinger [[Melanie]] joins the party. A Rasmussen Research poll reveals that 16% of Americans are ideologically libertarian.
 
:During the year, Libertarians win two Supreme Court cases: Striking down California's "blanket primary" and ending Indiana's random drug-search roadblocks.
 
:The Anaheim, California convention nominates Harry Browne for president and former Bellflower, CA mayor Art Olivier for VP. They head a ticket of 1,436 LP candidates, including 256 candidates for U.S. House -- the first time in 80 years a third party has contested a majority of Congressional seats.
 
:In one of the closest elections in American history, the LP presidential ticket gets 382,892 votes. However, 34 Libertarians are elected to office, Massachusetts U.S. Senate candidate [[Carla Howell]] wins a record 11.9% of the vote, and the LP's candidates for U.S. House win 1.6 million votes -- a new record for any third party.
 
;'''[[2001]]'''
 
:It was the most successful year ever for Libertarians as they elected 96 people to public office. The number of Libertarians in elective office increased to 301, a jump of 45% in a single year; and the total number of Libertarians in public office rose to 522.
 
:Newspapers and political websites published a whopping 141 Libertarian opinion pieces during the year –- an increase of 200% over the previous year’s 46 publications.
 
:On December 11 the Libertarian Party celebrated its 30th anniversary. The Party has grown from a handful of people meeting in David Nolan’s living room to hundreds of elected officials, thousands of candidates, tens of thousands of contributors, hundreds of thousands of registered voters –- millions of Libertarian voters.
 
;'''[[2002]]'''
:The Libertarian Party ran more than 1,642 candidates – the largest slate of candidates ever for the Libertarian Party and the largest for any third party since World War II. That’s almost twice as many as the 845 candidates the Party ran in 1998.
 
:US House candidates polled over 1 million votes for the second time in two election cycles making the Libertarian Party the only other party in history to do so other than Democrats and Republicans.
 
:The “Incumbent Killer” strategy was used to control elections the LP could not yet win. It led to the defeat of Republican Congressman [[Bob Barr]] and Democratic Senator [[Max Cleland]]. It was also credited with controlling the outcome of the governor’s races in Alabama, Wisconsin, and Oregon, and the US Senate race in South Dakota.
 
:Massachusetts Libertarians gathered 101,000 signatures to put a measure eliminating the state income tax on the ballot. On Election Day voters sent shock waves through the media-political establishment when, even with heavy opposition from Democrats and Republicans, 45 percent of the electorate supported it.
 
;'''[[2003]]'''
:The Libertarian Party clawed its way out of a $400,000 debt helped along by the recession and the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks and into financial solvency.
 
:Even though it was an off-year election, the LP racked up 46 victories –- over half of them coming in higher level offices such as city and county council, increasing the upward march of Libertarian office-holders. In Michigan, Libertarians were re-elected to city council seats and in 5 states Republican and Democrat incumbents were booted from theirs. As 2003 drew to a close, over 600 Libertarians were serving in public office nationwide.
 
:The LP also saved taxpayers more than $2.1 billion in a single day, defeating: a $1.3 billion sales tax hike in Florida, a proposal to finance a light-rail system and other transportation boondoggles in Arizona, a grocery tax in Colorado, and a property tax hike in Santa Clara County, California.
 
;'''[[2004]]'''
:Party membership rebounded with an increase of 4.5 percent over 2003.
 
:The Libertarian Party nominated [[Michael Badnarik]] as their 2004 presidential nominee during the national convention in Atlanta. The LP presidential campaign unveiled Project New Mexico, where they would find a swing state with an inexpensive media market and saturated it with a 10-day ad blitz. After the completion of Project New Mexico, Badnarik's poll numbers quickly rose 5 percent.
 
:American voters were able to vote for the Libertarian Party candidate in 48 states. This led all third parties: [[Ralph Nader]] got on only 39 ballots, the Constitution Party got on 35 and the Greens, just 27.
 
:The Libertarian Party generated considerable media attention. In an October 24th New York Times column, John Tierney gave a lengthy mention of Michael Badnarik's campaign.
 
:Four days later, Badnarik appeared on MSNBC's "Countdown" show, where he reached a national audience to push the libertarian message.
 
;'''[[2005]]'''
:In June the Libertarian Party released the "Iraq Exit Strategy: America's Path Forward", a comprehensive plan to withdraw American troops from Iraqi soil, while empowering the Iraqi people with the ability to rule their own nation.
:In August the LP transitioned from a members-based organization to a donors-based organization with the passage of the Zero Dues Resolution. The party's new focus will be electing Libertarians to office. This move proved to be highly controversial within the party.
 
:In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the Libertarian Party did its part to help out the relief effort by "adopting" the town of Franklin, Louisiana. The LP national office was in contact with Franklin's community leaders to determine their specific needs. A call was put out to members across the country who responded with their own aid.
