About

Welcome to the home of the original state organization of libertarians and for libertarians - representing freedom, peace, and opportunity.

Millions of Americans have voted for libertarian candidates in past elections throughout the country, despite the fact that many state governments place roadblocks in our path to keep our candidates off the ballot and deprive voters of a real choice.

Libertarians believe the answer to America's political problems is the same commitment to freedom that earned America its greatness: a free-market economy and the abundance and prosperity it brings; a dedication to civil liberties and personal freedom; and a foreign policy of non-intervention, peace, and free trade as prescribed by America's founders.

LAMA is a member of the Association of Liberty State Parties.

  • LAMA Rejects the Betrayal of Libertarian Values by the National LP

    It is a core principle of Libertarians to oppose the initiation of violence. That is why the Libertarian Association of Massachusetts has from our beginning been part of every anti-war movement. The dilution of our anti-war stance by the national LP, yesterday, is a betrayal of Libertarian values.

    Probation and Parole Overhaul: How We Can Fix a Broken System

    The United States criminal justice system is in dire need of probation and parole reform. The current system, which prioritizes punishment over rehabilitation and reintegration, is not only inhumane but also ineffective in reducing recidivism and promoting public safety.

  • 5 Shocking Reasons the War on Drugs was a Complete Failure

    The war on drugs, initiated by President Nixon in 1971, aimed to combat drug abuse and drug trafficking in the United States.

Here are some of the key reasons why the war on drugs has failed:

  • Self Defense is part of Consent Culture

    Consent culture is a movement that promotes the idea that all forms of intimacy, whether physical or emotional, should be entered into with the explicit consent of all parties involved. This movement aims to create a world where individuals are empowered to make their own choices about their bodies and personal space, and where boundaries are respected at all times. One critical aspect of consent culture is the right to self-defense.

  • Uncovering the Truth: Why We Can't Just Move On from the COVID-19 Pandemic

    COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the greatest challenges faced by the world in recent history, causing widespread economic, social, and political upheaval. While many have praised the actions taken by governments and public health officials to respond to the crisis, others have raised serious concerns about the measures that've been implemented, including lockdowns, travel restrictions, and widespread vaccine mandates. It's unacceptable to simply accept what was done during the COVID-19 pandemic without demanding answers and mechanisms to ensure accountability and prevent similar events from happening in the future.

  • The Dangers of Unlimited Government Spending

    The reckless spending coming out of Congress is a major problem for the United States, as it puts the country on a dangerous path toward financial instability and economic ruin. As a libertarian conservative, I believe in limited government, individual freedom, and a strong economy. Unfortunately, the actions of our elected officials in Congress are putting all of these principles at risk.
