Young Americans for Liberty is dedicated to the advancement of individual rights, personal responsibility and a free society guided by reason, tolerance and compassion. Our guiding principle: You have the right to do as you please so long as you aren't interfering with others' right to do the same.
More government means less freedom, which is why State power must be limited. The purpose of the State is to protect life, liberty and property: the police to protect people from crime, the military to guard against foreign invasion, courts of last resort for peacefully arbitrating disputes and protection of the shared natural environment in which we all must live. Beyond this protective function and perhaps providing some basic infrastructure, government should leave people alone.
A free society is a prosperous society where everyone has the opportunity to advance through individual initiative and hard work. The free enterprise system has made America the wealthiest nation on the planet and is lifting millions out of poverty around the world. Meanwhile, socialist regimes promise the moon but can’t even meet people’s most basic needs.
