The ACLU held a rally in front of the 23rd street Starbucks to vote no for Florida Amendment #2. Members of the Bay County Libertarian Party showed to support them by holding signs and our new LP Banner. If the second amendment on the ballot is passed, it will make mariage in the state of Florida only between a man and a woman. The Bay County Libertarian Party recently voted to support voting no on this issue as we don't believe marrriage should be licensed by the government in the first place. Check out the pictures section for photos of the event.

On September 20th, The Libertarian Party of Bay County hosted the Bay County Liberty Jam at local contemporary art gallery "The Gallery Above" in Downtown Panama City. The turn out was so good, at least 150 people, that the owner had to stop letting people in due to the fire-code; a first in the gallery's 4 year history. The event began with county Chairman Geoff Scott thanking everyone and giving a quick explanation of the ideas of Libertarianism which was followed by local bands Smokestack Joe and the Whiskey Barrels, The Dreamers Disease, and The Naysayers. Throughout the night the crowd engulfed itself with the libertarian literature and many new voters filled out voter registration cards and became new active party members.

The Libertarian Party is the third largest Political Party in the United States. The basic platform of the Libertarian Party follows the beliefs of the founding fathers such as Thomas Jefferson and James Madison that the role of Government is to ensure the freedom of its people and ensure the protection of "Life, Liberty, and Property".
