OKLP Positions

OKLP Legislative Agenda

Corporate Welfare: We oppose grants of relief or exemption to taxation specifically designed to benefit particular politically favored businesses or individuals.

Educational Tax Credit: Libertarians would enact a dollar-for-dollar tax credit for any individual (or company) who pays for a child's education.

Faith Based Initiatives: We oppose so called faith based initiatives and support honoring the Constitutional provision against government establishment of religion.

Informed Juries: That in all jury trials, the jurors shall be allowed to judge the evidence of the prosecution and the pleading of the defense without judicial restraint, and with judicial advisement of such right required.  They shall have the duty to judge morality of the law as it applies to the case before them.

Juries and Judges: Judges not only fail to properly inform jurors of their rights, but also frequently engage in other misconduct.  Therefore we call for enacting legislation to ensure judicial accountability and integrity by placing the power to review and adjudicate complaints against state and local judges in the hands of an independent special grand jury.

Medical Marijuana: Any person who has been prescribed, by a qualified medical practitioner, cannabis or marijuana as treatment for any ailment, may grow a sufficient number of plants for their own use. 

Marijuana Misdemeanor Penalty: The OKLP supports SB 779 (as originally submitted). The OKLP believes this measure, that would provide a misdemeanor penalty for marijuana possession, will lessen the penalty imposed by the state government on its citizens for choosing what they want to own.

Nanny State: We oppose the early childhood education proposals which will create greater intrusion of government into the lives of children, undermining the rights and responsibilities of parents.

Second Amendment: Recognizing the second amendment of the Constitution as not merely a firearms law, but in fact an expression of the basic human right to self-defense, we oppose all laws that infringe upon this right and support a Vermont style concealed carry law.
