Libertarian Party of Oregon

🗞️ Israeli PM Netanyahu said he spoke with President Trump, and Trump “reaffirmed Israel’s right to defend itself against threats on every front, including Lebanon.” The remarks come as Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem says the memorandum of understanding currently being negotiated includes a ceasefire in Lebanon, but Israel is pushing Washington to include language allowing continued military operations in Lebanon under the justification of responding to “any threat.” According to Hashem, Iran has rejected that formulation and is insisting on a sustainable, lasting ceasefire.

How can the Libertarian Party expect to be taken seriously as a political organization? And how can we expect the voters to take us seriously when this is what people see at our biggest media-facing events every two years? Anyone who tries to tell you that appearance doesn't matter is a liar. It's not taking away your indepence or freedom of expression to show up properly clothed at our conventions.

BREAKING NEWS: IP28 organizers have now submitted signatures ABOVE the minimum threshold required to qualify for Oregon’s November ballot — though signatures still must be officially verified by the Secretary of State. IP28 would remove major exemptions from Oregon’s animal cruelty laws that currently protect hunting, fishing, farming, ranching, pest control, breeding, and standard livestock practices. If passed, it could effectively criminalize everything from raising backyard chickens for eggs to exterminating rodents in your own home. Even supporters openly acknowledge the goal is to eliminate many practices involving the killing of animals for food, sport, farming, and pest management. This is no longer just a signature fight. Now it becomes an education fight — because most Oregonians have NO idea how sweeping this proposal really is.
