AREAS OF FOCUS
Each year Libertas Institute works on dozens of significant policy issues spanning a wide range of topics. While our short-term efforts result in an unprecedented 85% success rate for being enacted into law, we keep our eyes fixed on long-term goals that will profoundly improve the lives and livelihoods of all citizens.
As we propose and evaluate legislation, here are the key priorities informing our work:
Entrepreneurs and employees deserve a level playing field, fair competition, and the elimination of unnecessary regulations that obstruct free exchange and innovation.
Each person has the right to
peacefully pursue their own definition of happiness, including owning and using their property to the benefit of self and society.
Every parent, child, and teacher must have the opportunity to innovate and individualize education.
Addiction, mental illness, and poverty are among many human conditions that need individualized and community solutions instead of a punitive approach that should be reserved for violent criminals.
The person and property of each individual is protected from unreasonable searches and seizures, regardless of the existence of a societal expectation of privacy or the use of a third party.
Your tax-deductible contributions to Libertas Institute increase freedom across the country.
