	Liberty Party - LoveToKnow 1911
		LIBERTY PARTY, the first political party organized in the United States to oppose the spread and restrict the political power of slavery, and the lineal precursor of the Free Soil and Republican parties.
		The Whigs, therefore, blamed the Liberty Party for Democratic success and the annexation of Texas; but - quite apart from the issue of political ethics - it is almost certain that though Clay's chances were injured by the Liberty ticket, they were injured much more outside the Liberty ranks, by his own quibbles.
		The Liberty Party, abandoning therefore its independent nominations, joined in the first convention and nominations of the Free Soil Party (q.v.), thereby practically losing its identity, although it continued until after the organization of the Republican Party to maintain something of a semiindependent organization.

	Liberty Party
		At a state convention in Warsaw, New York on November 13, 1839, James G. Birney, an abolitionist crusader and one-time Alabama slave-holder, was tentatively nominated the Liberty Party’s candidacy for president, with Francis J. Lemoyne for vice president.
		Since 1840 the Liberty party had gained recruits and newspaper support and was becoming a threat to the two major parties in close northern states, where it aimed to swing the balance of power.
		In 1848, although the Liberty party had nominated John P. Hale and Leicester King, the party leaders urged the members to vote for candidates of the newly organized Free Soil party instead.

		Liberty Fund, was established to foster thought and encourage discourse on the nature of individual liberty, limited and constitutional government, and the free market.
		The Republican party, which had started by proclaiming the right of Congress to restrict slavery and had subsequently denounced the Dred Scott decision, was of course throughout the Civil War the defender of the Union and the assertor of federal authority, stretched, as was unavoidable, to lengths previously unheard of.
		Parties go on contending because their members have formed habits of joint action, and have contracted hatreds and prejudices, and also because the leaders find their advantage in using these habits and playing on these prejudices.

		We've reduced our own party bureaucracy to allow our candidates to express their own viewpoints while holding true to our statement of principles." That is a fair statement of what happened, and it probably accords with the reason many delegates voted the way they did.

	States' Liberty Party - States' Rights & Religious Principles
		The free exercise of religion is a privilege and immunity guaranteed to citizens by the Fourteenth Amendment, but the ban on Congress from establishing religion is a federal policy and prohibition of rights that cannot be applied to the Fourteenth Amendment, and therefore, the States.
		From these two clauses the 1947 court created a new law prohibiting the States from establishing a religion, and from this is derived the exclusive school ban on prayer, the Ten Commandments and other restrictions on religion.
		The States' Liberty Party and Liberty Party of California are not affiliated with any other party, organization or government.

	Letter of Gerrit Smith, to the Liberty Party of New Hampshire.
		You confederated with the Whig Party and the Independent Democratic Party to elect General Wilson to Congress, notwithstanding you knew, that he was a member of the Whig Party; and that he had put forth great and unrepented-of efforts to get Henry Clay into the Presidency, and himself into a command in the Mexican army.
		Nevertheless, every true Liberty Party man scouts the idea, that his Party was organized for the tame and worthless purpose of preventing the extension of slavery; or for any lower purpose than that of uprooting and scattering the whole system of American slavery.
		It is the very policy, that ruined the antimasonic party, and the policy that the Whigs urged in the National Election, and entirely contrary to the first principles of the Liberty Party.

		Doubtless, the Liberty Party will again be considerable in point of numbers - and, this too, by the time of the next Presidential Election, unless it should, ere that, become the prey of some new seductive influence.
		The Liberty Party is indispensable, if it is only, that it may continue to teach, as it has ever taught, that national parties are fast working the ruin of this country.

		Resolved, That this convention recommend to the friends of liberty in all those free states where any inequality of rights and privileges exists on account of color, to employ their utmost energies to remove all such remnants and effects of the slave system.

		RCR took on what we consider the most important initiative in the libertarian movement since 1997 — a campaign to break the legal monopoly congressional incumbents and major parties have conferred upon themselves.
		In an environment where political parties have had their power dramatically reduced by legislative fiat, and incumbents no longer have to compete with challengers to stay in office, we see the need for an alternative-mechanism for bringing about political change.

		Anyone who encountered the Green Party during the recent local elections will be aware of their incoherent and even janus-like politics, claiming to transcend “traditional” left-right divisions and appealing to everyone from Labour voters disillusioned with Blairism to Tories with a “social conscience”.
		Beyond this, their stances on issues such as gay and lesbian rights, top-up fees and multinationals have meant that they've been able to attract a number of young people, disaffected by the mainstream parties, looking for a group which can voice their anger at the problems in our society.
