The goal of the South Carolina Libertarian Party is to restore the supremacy of the Natural Rights of each individual. In striving for Liberty, the S.C.L.P. has as its main function the presentation of an argument for freedom and a defense of Natural Rights, using the political process as an educational forum and as a method for constraining government.
 
Specifically, the S.C.L.P. seeks to restore freedom by running candidates for public office who fully embrace libertarian principles; who eloquently and consistently put forth a principled argument for Freedom during their campaign; and who energetically attempt, when elected, to constrain government.
 
The purpose of all these activities is to convince South Carolinians that respect for each individual's Natural Rights is a prerequisite for Liberty, and that Liberty is essential to human happiness, survival, progress, and creativity.
 

	In 2009, the state Executive Committee made a commitment to the growth of the Libertarian
Party statewide.  Quarterly planning meetings have been held regionally focusing on recruitment
and training of potential candidates for public office.  Results are the expected organization of
the party clubs in new counties and about a dozen candidates statewide. 
	
        An ongoing effort to organize as many counties as possible in preparation for the 2010
midterm elections has increased our numbers.  We also have several candidates preparing for
local and state campaigns.
	
        To continue the growth momentum that has been building in our successful Meetups
around the state we have been developing an advertising program that includes both radio and
print.  You can see and hear these ads on the website.  We plan to eventually cover the entire
state by rotating the ad campaign to each of four areas, beginning with a “test” in the Midlands
area.  We have selected a “talk radio” station and a weekly newspaper in Columbia.   This test
has been budgeted at $800 a month.  
	
        The success of this advertising program, in part, is the ability to be able to run the ads
for a sufficient length of time to be effective.  The SCLP has limited funds and is asking for
support to sustain this outreach program.  When there is a dependable source of funding the ad
schedule can roll across the state as planned. By joining the Gadsden Society, with a monthly
donation of $20 you can help us “plan ahead”.  Or you can send your support of any amount to
the Treasurer at PO Box 291383, Columbia, SC 29229.

Your support for our efforts to keep Liberty alive in this great country is appreciated.
