Welcome  

Middle Georgia Libertarians is an organization working to educate people about Libertarianism and to help run and elect Libertarian candidates to office in Middle Georgia.  Are you a Libertarian?  If you are not sure, take the World's Smallest Political Quiz to find out.  Stephen Gordon has written an excellent article titled "What is a Libertarian?".

You may also want to visit the Libertarian Party, the Libertarian Party of Georgia, the Libertarian Party of Houston County and the Libertarian Party of Bibb County web pages.  You can subscribe to our Middle Georgia Libertarian's email list below.  The email list is a great place to start if you want to get involved.

We are looking for a few good people to join or start new libertarian parties in Middle Georgia.

Dr. Helmut Forren Vice Chair, Libertarian Party of Georgia wrote an article about the future of the Harry Browne Campaign network titled "What's next for the HB2000 GA Volunteer Network."

The purpose of the tax day rally is to let all those late filers know about the libertarian alternative to the income tax, NOTHING! As Libertarians one of our goals is to repeal the income tax and force the Federal Government to live within the limits of the Constitution.

We will meet at the post office starting at 5:30 PM and then wave some signs with clever anti-income tax slogans, and hand out LP literature to any folks interested.
