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.

    Why the Principles of a Free Society Are Vital for the Next Generation

    In recent years, there has been a growing trend among the youth in our country to advocate for bigger and bigger government. Many young people today are calling for government takeovers of healthcare, hindering second amendment rights, and even advocating for the government to take control of the economy and means of production. These calls for socialism are a departure from the principles that our country was founded upon and pose a significant threat to the future of our nation. It's vital that we educate the next generation on the principles of a free society so that they can preserve the very freedoms that we've enjoyed for the past 246 years.

  • Beyond the Income Tax: A Comprehensive Look at Tax Reform

    In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, giving the federal government the power to levy income taxes on its citizens. The income tax has become a major source of revenue for the federal government, but many argue that it is an unjust and unconstitutional way to raise funds. In this article, we will explore why we should repeal the 16th Amendment and how we could instead use a flat consumption tax on goods and services.

  • The Automation Revolution: Balancing Technological Advancements with Individual Liberty and Consent

    The industrial revolution brought with it rapid advancements in technology and mechanization, leading to a significant transformation of society, the workforce, and economic systems. As we now face the automation revolution, driven by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, it is essential to consider the implications of these technologies on our societies, economies, and ways of life. Importantly, we must preserve the principles of individual liberty and consent culture throughout this transition. In a world where people are expected to earn their keep, how do we adjust to an era in which most human labor will be less valuable than a machine’s, while ensuring the liberty of the individual remains paramount?

  • Beyond the Bottom Line: The Negative Effects of Corporate Welfare Programs

    The United States is often heralded as the land of opportunity, a place where hard work and innovation are rewarded. However, the reality is far from that ideal, with a growing divide between the rich and the poor. A major contributor to this is the practice of corporate welfare, which has subsidized some of the largest corporations in the country, such as Boeing, through programs like the import/export bank. While these programs are marketed as a means of fostering economic growth, they are actually creating a two-tiered society where the wealthy and well-connected succeed at the expense of the rest.

  • Teachers Unions in Massachusetts Prioritize Political Agenda over Children's Education

    The Educational Association of Worcester and the Massachusetts Teachers Association, two powerful educators unions, are calling for a boycott of Old Sturbridge Village, a popular Massachusetts educational destination that brings history to life in an engaging and entertaining way. This move has sparked outrage among many who value the educational opportunities that Old Sturbridge Village provides, and raises serious questions about the role of educators unions in determining what children are allowed to learn.
