  • Honor Veterans with repeal of AUMFs

    This Veterans Day let's honor our Veterans by ending their wars by repealing the 1957, 1991, 2001, and 2002 AUMFs. 

    As we approach Veterans Day, we reflect on the sacrifices our service members have made in service to our county. One of the most solemn promises a nation can make to its veterans is to use military force judiciously and only when absolutely necessary. However, several outdated Authorizations for Use of Military Force (AUMFs) remain active, giving the executive branch far-reaching authority to engage in military action without the explicit approval of Congress. The 1957, 1991, 2001, and 2002 AUMFs are still in effect, providing broad justifications for military engagements that allow the President to strike targets at will.

  • The Patriot Act and the Erosion of Liberty

    Signed into law just weeks after the September 11 attacks, the USA PATRIOT Act was presented as a necessary measure to combat terrorism and protect the American people. The "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001," cloaked its invasive powers under a thin veneer of patriotism. But for Libertarians, the Patriot Act always represented a grave threat to the very freedoms it claimed to defend. Over two decades later, the Patriot Act remains one of the most significant government overreaches in modern American history, one that fundamentally undermines the Constitution and the foundational principles of a free society.
