Welcome to the New River Libertarians
website!
The New River Libertarians is the local Libertarian
Party affiliate committee in the New River Valley
area (in particular, for Floyd, Giles, Montgomery, and
Pulaski counties).
The Libertarian Party believes in individual liberty
and personal responsibility. We believe that governments
at all levels are too big, too intrusive, and too expensive.
We are working to reduce government to its proper constitutional
role: to protect the rights of the people, and otherwise
leave us alone.
Become Involved!
If you live in the New River Valley area, and if you believe in individual liberty and personal responsibility, please become involved with the NRL. A list of our upcoming activities appears below. Please contact NRL secretary Anne Panella for more information. In particular, please let us know if you want your e-mail address to be added to our e-mail announcement list.
If you would like to join the Libertarian Party and the Libertarian Party of Virginia, please visit the LP website at www.lp.org and the LPVa website at www.lpva.com.
