October - News & Events for Multnomah Libertarians

 

NEWS


Multnomah Libertarians are mentioned in the Oregonian, in reference to our
opposition to  Measure 26-224 ($450,000,000 PCC bond)


The Multnomah Libertarians and Taxpayers Association of Oregon submitted
arguments in opposition, arguing, among other things, that Portland Community
College has seen a decline in enrollment and has “no medium-term need for
expanded facilities.”


The school has seen a 25% decline in enrollment since before the pandemic,
following both state and national enrollment trends at community colleges, enrollment
Dean Ryan Clark told The Oregonian/OregonLive. Full article here.




Events for Multnomah Libertarians 


I’ve just met with the security and blockchain professionals who will be
leading our “Not Your Keys, Not Your Crypto” webinar event that will kick
off our organizing convention this Wednesday, October 19th at 7pm -
and I am thoroughly impressed. Libertarians are often early to trends in
technology, diet, & various social trends.


In that spirit, the Multnomah Libertarians organization will provide valuable
skill training for our members as we head into a turbulent economic era
with pertinent information on how to best take custody of your crypto-assets. 


This event will lead into our online organizing convention which shall occur
if we are able to bring together 16 registered Libertarian residents of
Multnomah County.

Should we not obtain a quorum of sixteen, I want to ask the attendees, and you,
our Multnomah Libertarians to support our official affiliation with the
Libertarian Party of Oregon - so that we can coordinate on voter data, and
strategize on how extend our influence in opposing the worst things the County:
the assaults on property rights, insanity via taxation, and the general
  anarcho-tyrannical state of affairs inside Multnomah County.

What is anarcho-tyranny? Simply put, anarcho-tyranny is a stage of governmental
dysfunction in which the state is hopeless at coping with large matters but ruthlessly
tyrannical in the enforcement of small ones (masks were the only law in Portland in
2020). If this sounds familiar, help us get to quorum and form an official chapter
of the Libertarian Party of Multnomah County on Wednesday night.  


If you can’t make it Wednesday, consider a small donation to our PAC so we
can support libertarian voices of Multnomah in 2022, 2023 and beyond: here

The Libertarian Party in Portland, Oregon

  The Libertarian Party is a political party that emphasizes individual liberty, free markets, and limited government intervention. While the party is often associated with national politics, its principles can also be applied at the local level. In this blog post, we will explore how the Libertarian Party could be beneficial for the city of Portland, Oregon. Portland is a city with a reputation for progressive politics, environmentalism, and social justice. While these values are important, they have also led to a highly regulated and expensive local government. For example, Portland has some of the highest taxes and fees in the state of Oregon, which can make it difficult for small businesses to thrive. Additionally, the city's housing policies, which aim to increase affordable housing, have resulted in a shortage of available housing and skyrocketing rents. The Libertarian Party offers an alternative approach to governance that could address some of these issues. Here are a few
