LIBERTARIANplace

• Shrink the government by starvation. End all taxing authority. If we stop the government's fiscal engorgement, it will stop finding ways to consume more of our capital and regulate more of our lives and business and will quickly morph into survival mode, saving its resources for those few functions (if any) that a consensus of citizens defers to it.
• Eliminate all but essential departments, agencies, programs and services.
• Limit foreign policy to high level diplomacy on an as needed basis with a sizable reduction in embassies and consulates, making the vast majority of such operations virtual, and define national defense in the strictest sense.
• Reduce the Legislature to part-time volunteer status, eliminating the need to for legislators  to maintain residences, offices, and staffs in Washington.

Decentralize:

• Require all federal functions, programs, and services, including the Military, law enforcement, and the justice system, to compete with private providers in a free market. As a result only the functions, programs and services of government that are most effectively and efficiently delivered by government will survive.
• The assets and infrastructure of all government departments, agencies, programs and services that are eliminated through competition should be sold to the winning competitors or auctioned off. The proceeds from this divestiture will be sufficient to retire the National Debt and to create an endowment to fund surviving government operations in perpetuity.
• End all Federal authority to regulate free enterprise. Any regulation or vetting desired by consumers can be executed more fairly and efficiently in the private sector by professional and trade organizations as well as consumer groups.
• The end of taxation and regulation would mean an end to government subsidies for particular modes of transportation or forms of energy. With a level playing field, the market would quickly demand more efficient and renewable energy sources and systems which would in turn create more efficient modes and methods of transportation.
• A privatized infrastructure would add democracy to creativity in the race to address climate change and sustainability.Solar, wind, nuclear, battery,and kinetic energy would soon dominate Our rallying cry could be: A solar panel on every roof, a wind farm in every field, a reactor in every region.

• Eliminate all laws at all levels that create victimless crimes.This includes the so called "War on Drugs" and laws governing any type of sexual behavior or commerce.
• With what few crimes remain on the books, a much smaller and less heavily armed police force will be necessary.The savings in humanpower, capital assets and program costs for this one policy would be enormous. 
•  With fewer prohibitions, violence will decline since the bulk of violence in society is perpetrated by criminals in conflict with law enforcement agencies enforcing victimless crimes. It should be noted that the War on Drugs has been no more successful than Prohibition and is similar in its attempt to control the use and distribution of mood altering substances. Like Prohibition, the War on Drugs has created a criminal industry that has inflated the market value of drugs, has escalated violence and secondary property crimes related to the artificially high cost of purchasing illegal drugs. We are concerned about the harmful effects of all types of addictive substances including alcohol and tobacco and advocate for treatment and education as the means of fighting the social cost of drug addiction rather than criminalization. As a secondary social benefit of the end of the war on drugs, it will be possible for users to maintain their habits without putting their own or their family's financial security in jeopardy since the instant deflation in the cost of such drugs, once legalized, would be incidental and comparable to the cost of other legal substances such as alcohol and tobacco.
• In a Libertarian society, laws and legislation would be limited to the prohibition and redress of crimes against person and property. Only those acts that directly and immediately cause harm to another person should be subject to prosecution.This would be defined as and limited to the taking, abuse or restriction of another person's property, liberty, or bodily autonomy by coercion, force, or fraud on the part of any person, entity or government. The consequences of criminal acts must not be purely punitive, and must be limited to the natural social and financial consequences of the crime committed, including restitution and redress.
• A keystone of a Libertarian society is complete legalization of firearms. This right does apply to a citizen militia, the presence of which will greatly reduce the need for a large military since a militia would be effective in fighting to defend personal property and local communities.However each individual has the right to keep and bear arms for the protection of person, property and family, including protection from the attempts of any government to challenge his or her liberty. An armed citizenry will help reduce the amount of crime in society as well as the risk of terrorism, since any observed attempt at terrorism would be met immediately by an armed and dangerous citizenry in self and national defense.
• We believe that government has no place in sanctioning or legalizing permanent relationships between romantic partners. As long as government does have a role, we believe that government recognition, including any special legal treatment currently given to heterosexual couples should be available to any couple regardless of gender or sexual orientation.

Humanize:

• The guiding principles of the equality, dignity and humanity of all persons should inform and define the purpose and approach to justice, public safety, and national defense. Neither torture, capital punishment, nor punitive confinement are ever acceptable from this perspective.
• The leal consequences of criminal acts would be a system of social and financial consequences with a natural relationship and proportion to the crime committed. Judges should have maximum latitude to apply the law, to formulate effective and equitable consequences for all crimes. Those hving only a financial cost tosociety would be applied financially. Those having non-financial effects woudl require the most creative and individualized penalties,which would focus prmarily on resitution, and secondarily on rehabilitation.
• Detention should be a solution only for violent criminals and only as long as they are certified to be an imminent threat to public safety. The detention of criminals has no social benefit except that of a last resort in the interest of safety, since the removal of an individual from a potentially productive role in society and placement in a situation of complete dependence upon the justice system for housing and support while also placing the dependents of such persons at the mercy of society for their support only creates an increased cost to society for the crime already being adjudicated.
• Detention facilities for violent criminals must be organized as profitable businesses in order to utilize the labor and skill of their residents to generate income sufficient to fund the facility as well as to provide support to dependents of residents and restitution to victims of its residents.
• In the interest of humanity, residents of detention facilities should have access to formal education, religious, and cultural activities, as much as can be made available within the detention facility, and should be allowed frequent conjugal visits or access to sex workers if they are able to pay for such services.
