[LPIL - Board of Directors] April BoD Meeting

[Justin Tucker]

Here is a resolution I wrote that I would like to put on the agenda:

WHEREAS, Libertarians embrace the concept that all people are born with 
certain inherent rights

WHEREAS, Libertarians uphold and defend the rights of every person, 
regardless of their race, ethnicity, or any other aspect of their 
identity

WHEREAS, Libertarians hold governments, where they exist, should neither 
deny nor abridge any individual’s human right based upon sex, wealth, 
ethnicity, creed, age, national origin, personal habits, political 
preference, or sexual orientation

WHEREAS, Libertarians believe that the only legitimate use of force is 
in defense of individual rights — life, liberty, and justly acquired 
property — against aggression

WHEREAS, Libertarians affirm the individual right recognized by the 
Second Amendment to keep and bear arms

WHEREAS, Libertarians oppose the prosecution of individuals for 
exercising their rights of self-defense

WHEREAS, Libertarians oppose all laws at any level of government 
restricting, registering, or monitoring the ownership, manufacture, or 
transfer of firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories

WHEREAS, Libertarians believe sexual orientation, preference, gender, or 
gender identity should have no impact on the government’s treatment of 
individuals

WHEREAS, Libertarians believe consenting adults should be free to choose 
their own sexual practices and personal relationships

WHEREAS, Libertarians believe parents, or other guardians, have the 
right to raise their children according to their own standards and 
beliefs, provided that the rights of children to be free from abuse and 
neglect are also protected

LET IT BE RESOLVED, the Libertarian Party of Illinois opposes any act of 
any legislative body to deny or abridge the right to self-defense of any 
individual.

LET IT BE RESOLVED, the Libertarian Party of Illinois opposes any act of 
any legislative body to deny or abridge the right of any individual to 
exercise sole dominion over their own lives.

LET IT BE RESOLVED, the Libertarian Party of Illinois opposes any act of 
any legislative body to deny or abridge on the right to live in whatever 
manner they choose, so long as they do not forcibly interfere with the 
equal right of others to live in whatever manner they choose.

LET IT BE FURTHER RESOLVED, the Libertarian Party of Illinois unites 
behind the inclusion of every individual who adheres to a lifestyle of 
non-aggression and stands in steadfast dedication to the defense of the 
rights of all.

Best,
Justin Tucker
Executive Director, Libertarian Party of Illinois
