Ron Paul is a lifetime member of the Libertarian Party. Ron Paul was the Libertarian candidate for President in 1988. Why? Because Ron Paul and the Libertarian Party share the same values:
* Individual Liberty
* Personal Responsibility
* Limited Government
Although the Republican Party occasionally talks about these values, they certainly don't walk the walk. Nowadays, Republicans are the Party of runaway spending and unending war — that's not Ron Paul at all.
Ron Paul is not the choice of Republican voters either: 97% of Utah Republicans rejected Ron Paul in the February 5, 2008 presidential primary.
Ron Paul is the choice of Libertarians: nearly three-fourths of Libertarians support Ron Paul.
Ron Paul's message is distinctly Libertarian, as shown in the following video recounting his appearance last year on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno":
As Ron said, "The message is powerful. You know, I have my shortcomings. But the message has no shortcomings. The message of liberty is what America is all about."
The message of liberty is what both Ron Paul and the Libertarian Party are all about.
We invite you to join the Party that believes what Ron Paul believes. Join the Party that welcomes you and your belief in the values of liberty.

If I voted for Ron Paul in the primary, can I vote for Libertarian candidates in November?
Yes. General election ballots are non-partisan. You can vote for whomever you like.
If I registered as a Republican to support Ron Paul in the presidential primary, can I change my voter registration to Libertarian?
Yes. Ron Paul has been affiliated with both the Republican and Libertarian parties for decades, so you can be too. Although you can register as a voter with only one political party in the State of Utah, you can change your party registration to -- or register to vote as a -- Libertarian at your county clerk's office, or by downloading and submitting this form.
If I donated to the Ron Paul campaign, can I donate to Libertarian candidates?
Yes, please.
I'm already a member of the Libertarian Party. What should I do next?
Get involved. Attend one of our regular meetings. Or contact us and let us know what talents you can contribute to advancing liberty in Utah.
Can Ron Paul become the Libertarian Party candidate for President in November?
The Libertarian National Committee has expressly invited Ron Paul to become one of our candidates. If Ron chooses to do so and if he is elected at the National Convention, he would become our candidate.
If I would like to be a Libertarian candidate or volunteer my time in support of Libertarian candidates, whom do I contact?
