Welcome to the Libertarian Party of Connecticut.
We believe the first principle of government is the protection of Life, Liberty, and Property.
We believe in the Rule of Law.
We do not believe in or advocate the initiation of force to achieve political, social, or economic goals. Since government is force, and it often conflicts with beliefs just stated, we consequently believe in a minimal and restricted state government so as to allow society to form their own voluntary self-governing relationships.
Delegates and Convention Update

delegate selections per Article III, Section 1 of our bylaws will occur
by selection of the SCC in March.
Our convention is tentatively scheduled for April 1st, but we’re looking
for a date that works for most of the presidential candidates Saturday, April 7th.
If you have any questions, drop us a line and let us know.
In Liberty,
Dan Reale
Chair, LPCT
Candidate for Congress, CD-2
Happy New Year!
Here is to a year ahead filled with happiness, good health, liberty and freedom. Best wishes!

The Artificial Imposition of Poverty
James Peron

Most of the world’s poverty is not self-inflicted, yet apparently many seem to think it is.
My experience, living in Africa, tells me otherwise. Much of global poverty is imposed and I don’t mean by evil “multi-national corporations” or “globalization.” Those myths are easily debunked. The real causes of poverty in these nations are not hard to find.
First, however, I’d like to start with what is not the cause of poverty. People in poor nations are not poor because they lack ambition or are lazy.
When I first moved to Africa, I lived in small apartment. Almost immediately upon moving in there was a knock on the door. A woman asked if she could have a job cleaning for me. The idea was foreign to me. I even had negative emotions about people “exploiting” the poor and hiring them at low wages. I declined, but she begged. She insisted she was a hard worker. My dilemma was that I didn’t have a lot of money. I told her that. She named a wage that seemed ridiculously low.
