Get involved

At this time of year, I remind you that helping to build the Libertarian Party is as easy as finding the contribution box in the upper right corner of your Utah Income Tax form and inserting the letter "L" there. That gives us a $2.00 contibution, and does not increase your tax nor decrease your refund. And then tell a friend.

It is also important to remind you that our party cponvention will be on May 14. See the Calendar on this site for details. In order to particiapte fully in the convention, and to vote on officers and other matters of party business, you must pay your dues of $20 to the State party by April 15. Instructions for doing so are also on this site. If paying by mail, the postmark must be on or before the 15th. You may also pay by PayPal or bring the dues by the party office at 6885 S. State St. in Midvale. We get no money from the National party, and it is our job to keep the party on the ballot and to run candidates, so we need your support. Please get involved.

Election Day is coming

This year there is a major election, and we are hard at work supporting our candidates in several major races. Our candidates need your support as well. We need people to put up signs, hang door hangers, pass out flyers, make phone calls, go to Meet the Candidate events; and of course, we need contributions. Please find a candidate to support on our list on this site and do something to help that candidate expand his or her campaign.

The biggest problem for Libertarians is that voters do not know we are there. Anything that can be done to expand public awareness will help the cause. Talk to your friends, make sure they are registered to vote, and let people know what we stand for.

As Libertarian Party Chair, it is my job to make sure that the party continues to function, and that I have something of value to hand over to my successor next year. With that in mind, I am running for Governor, in order to make sure that we have enough statewide votes (a little over 2% of the statewide tally) to keep our ballot access. With this access comes the right to have supporters designate $2.00 of their tax money every year to assist the party with campaigns. I am fortunate to have Aric Cramer, a distinguished attorney in St. George, as my running mate for Lt. Governor. The ticket is strong; and we are qualified to fill the offices which we seek. I am confident that we will show well in the upcoming election, and that the Libertarian Party will continue to grow.

Will you champion liberty for Utahns?

Dear Fellow Utahn,

The Libertarian Party of Utah is once again authorized to nominate candidates for partisan elected office. And voters may also now register to vote as Libertarians.

Several races across Utah, including many at the county level, will be uncontested. That is, unless you file to give voters a choice between

101 things for volunteers to do

You want to be involved, but you don't know what to do? Here are some ideas inspired by Mark Selzer.

As a volunteer champion of liberty, you can get burned out and bored easily when asked to do a task that does not challenge you or fit your interests. This list is to find things for you to do as a volunteer, and let you know about some of the things that need to be done. This list can also be shown to other volunteers so they can find things that they would like to do, or a new thing to do when they no longer want to do what they are doing.
