Local Libertarian Party Group to Hold Open Meeting
The Libertarian Party of Wisconsin’s affiliate of Polk County members will hold its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, November 11th (Veterans Day), at 6:30 PM, at the Village Pizzeria, in Dresser, WI (on WI St. Hwy 35). The group welcomes all members, supporters, public, and inquiring press interested in learning more about the practical, day-to-day living of libertarianism, and the principles and political policies inside the state party’s platform.
Based on the fundamental concepts of more responsible liberty for everyone and more freedom from arbitrary government and authority, libertarianism adheres to the peaceful and positive foundational rules: 1) Do NOT harm anyone; 2) Do NOT steal from anybody; 3) Help yourself and others at the same time, if you can; 4) Protect the defenseless.
Founded in 1973, the Libertarian Party of Wisconsin (LPWI), has a deep history of activism in Polk County and the wider St. Croix Valley. As the largest, and most vigorous, third party in the state since then, the LPWI offers alternative ways for all concerned to oppose, and eventually to overcome, the two-party system that has always, and will always, fail them.

Brief Report on the Fourth Annual Candidates & Campaigns Conference
By Tim Krenz
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 25, 2025
The Fourth Annual Candidates & Campaigns Conference this July went off as a resounding success! An event of the LPWI’s chapter of Polk County Members, the conference had 10 attendees, with Party leaders from around Wisconsin and local activists present.
This year’s topic looked for the relevant value propositions for the Libertarian Party from an examination of Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz’s seminal 1830’s book, On War, and the life, work and materials on the non-violent and non-cooperation practices of early 20th Century Indian leader, Mohandas K. Gandhi.
By looking at the philosophy of war and peace through Clausewitz’s logical constructs, and comparing and contrasting them with Gandhi’s struggle against British imperialism, the conference facilitators and participants arrived at various means to ends for Libertarian leaders. The conference conclusions can help the LP everywhere empower more effective activism to achieve the Party’s goals, such as “to set the world free” from the tyranny of the militarized state in all its forms.
The official records and reports of the conference will get posted on www.cepiaclub.com for all to see, sometime in early September.
