 Freedom matters. Freedom has lifted hundreds of millions of people from poverty and inspired oppressed people's struggle for human rights. Freedom means directing our own lives and realizing remarkable tomorrows. Libertarianism is the philosophy of freedom. Libertarians demand that we respect the rights of individuals and they recognize that by doing so, we respect their dignity. Securing individual rights is the purpose of government, but government can also threaten our rights. Libertarians would limit government to protecting life, liberty and property. Limiting government to these tasks frees us to experiment, innovate and prosper. Libertarianism is the philosophy of freedom, one that places liberty at the center of the human experience. Because freedom matters.
