Did You Know?

The Libertarian Party

relies solely on voluntary support and accepts no government funding. Unlike the other parties, we believe those who disagree with us should not be forced to fund our activities with their tax dollars. Please donate generously.

The Libertarian Party is America's third-largest political party, with nearly 600 people serving in office nationwide.

Over 3 million Americans voted for a Libertarian candidate in the last election.

Libertarian presidential candidate Bob Barr was on more state ballots than Ralph Nader.

The Libertarian candidate for president has appeared on all 50 state ballots, plus D.C., for the past three elections. No other third party has done so twice in a row.

Libertarians in office save Americans over $1 billion every year by cutting taxes.

1972 Libertarian candidate for Vice-President, Tonie Nathan, was the first woman in US history to receive an electoral college vote.



The Libertarian Party
is committed to America's heritage of freedom:
individual liberty and personal responsibility, a free-market economy of abundance and prosperity,
a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace and free trade.

We welcome your participation and support.

District Three Representative Position Filled

At its December meeting the Executive Committee, in accordance with the party constitution, filled the vacant position of district three representative formerly held by Keith Waters. The new representative from the northwestern part of Arkansas is Storm Nolan.

Storm Nolan is Vice President of Whitt Properties, LLC, a Fort Smith based real estate development company with a concentration in hotels. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Cornell University, where he studied Hospitality (Hotel) Management. While at Cornell, Storm was the President of the Student Committee for Continuous Improvement and Board Member of the Cornell Entrepreneur Organization, and he graduated third in his class. Storm is currently on the Board of Directors of the Arkansas Self Storage Association and the Leadership Fort Smith Alumni Association. He is a Libertarian because this is truly the only party of logic and reason. Storm converted because of personal testimony from a good friend and after reading Ayn Rand’s philosophy.

Arkansas LP Press Secretary

Tom Carpenter, currently representative for district four, will also serve as press secretary. He was appointed by Gerhard Langguth, state chair, to the position.

Tom plans to release position statements on behalf of the party on state-wide issues, particularly on issues that appear on state ballots. Tom believes that on far too many issues the voters in Arkansas only hear the Republican and Democratic positions on these issues while voters never hear a Libertarian alternative. On far too many issues voters hear only debates about keeping government at the current level or expanding government involvement in people’s lives. The libertarian alternative of government restricted to protecting property and civil rights and staying out of people’s lives is not part of the debate.

The Libertarian Party here in Arkansas is dedicated to changing the questions in these debates.

Economics In One Lesson


Called by H.L. Mencken, "one of the few economists in history who could really write," Henry Hazlitt achieved lasting fame for this brilliant but concise work. He wrote it just as he was leaving the New York Times as editorial writer. His experience there, especially with the other staff and editors, convinced him that there was a crying need for an introduction to the proper way to think about economics.

The result was what is probably the biggest selling economics book of all time.

In it, he explains basic truths about economics and the economic fallacies responsible for unemployment, inflation, high taxes, and recession. Covering considerable ground, Hazlitt illustrates the destructive effects of taxes, rent and price controls, inflation, trade restrictions and minimum wage laws.

Written for the non-academic, it has served as the major antidote to fallacies in the popular press, and has appeared in dozens of languages and printings. It's still the quickest way to learn how to think like an economist. And this is why it has been used in the best classrooms for more than sixty years.

Many writers have since attempted to beat this book as an introduction, but have never succeeded. Hazlitt's book remains the best. Even if you own this book already, or have several past editions, you will want to have this book as your own as a wonderful testament to its place in the world of ideas.

In putting this edition together, we chose to work from Hazlitt's own first edition because it contains the core of what is crucial here without later updates that only date the book. As with Mises and Human Action, the author's first instincts were the best ones.
