"I joined the party before the 2016 election, just couldn't take the two major party choices, but I got a little demoralized by the lack of success. I now can't take it anymore, I cannot support the mess that is going on in DC. I have to do something and this is it."

"I could no longer participate in the chaos, confusion and control of the other parties. A dear friend of mine, whom is a proud Libertarian, suggested that I consider my alternatives and explained in great depth the Libertarian principles and history of Libertarianism. I am ever grateful for his insight as I discovered an immediate freeing solution to my political frustrations! In many ways’ individualism has influenced my own life and my children’s lives, so my personal shift in political affiliation was a no brainer. I want something to feel proud of, which seems to be a challenge these days. And I now feel compelled to get involved."

"I’m 24 years old and to this point have voted Republican. I have deep felt, conservative values, but recognize the need for everyone to live freely. The Republican Party does not support policies that allow everyone to be free to make their own decisions and own choices apart from government intervention. Both major parties cannot operate a calculator and desire to meddle in everyone’s affairs."

"I am passionate about individual freedom and choices. A local close friend and Libertarian party member has been sharing inspiring information like the party page, Reason, Institute for Justice and some candidates that align with my views. I cannot stand the Republican or Democratic party, so decided it was time to make this official."

"I'm re-joining to be a long-term member and hopefully be able to contribute as a delegate at the national conventions to pick a presidential nominee."

"The political party duopoly that has control of this country is shameful and a 180 from the intent and fight that countless citizens have endured to ensure our rights since well before 1776. We need a return to a government that fears and works FOR the people and not the other way around. We need to stop throwing tax dollars at problems so the gov can further destroy them under the guise of compassion and morality. We need to return to a citizenry that holds themselves and their communities responsible for the ups and downs and finds gov-free solutions."

"I believe the LP makes a difference and the non aggression principle is the future of American philosophy."

"Once upon a time I was a Republican. At one time, briefly, I became a Democrat. Then I realized both major parties were crap, and I'd been choosing between a perceived lesser of two evils at every election. I further realized that my social and political views are Classical Liberal, rather than conservative, and that the political party closest--but not perfectly aligned--with my beliefs is the Libertarian Party. So, I registered as a Libertarian (Big L) to match my libertarian (Little L) beliefs."
