Resolved:
Whereas, the Libertarian Party steadfastly upholds the fundamental right to digital privacy, recognizing it as an extension of individual liberty in the modern age;
Whereas, the Libertarian Party champions decentralization as a means to empower individuals, foster innovation, and reduce coercive control by centralized authorities;
Whereas, the Libertarian Party supports technological innovation, including the development and use of cryptocurrencies, as a vital expression of free markets and individual sovereignty;
Whereas, the Biden administration’s policies, including Operation Chokepoint 2.0, have targeted the cryptocurrency industry with discriminatory financial restrictions, stifling innovation and violating the principles of free enterprise;
Whereas, President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance have publicly committed to ending Operation Chokepoint and the broader regulatory assault on Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, aligning with libertarian values of economic freedom and limited government interference;
Whereas, the prosecutions of Roman Storm, Keonne Rodriguez, William Lonergan Hill, Roger Ver, and others, as well as the imprisonment of Ian Freeman, represent unjust overreaches by the federal government, punishing individuals for exercising their rights to innovate and engage in consensual transactions;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the Libertarian Party of Oregon calls upon the Trump administration to:
Immediately drop all charges against Roman Storm, Keonne Rodriguez, William Lonergan Hill, Roger Ver, and other individuals targeted for their involvement in cryptocurrency innovation;
Secure the prompt release of Ian Freeman from federal prison, recognizing his detention as a violation of libertarian principles;
Fulfill its commitment to end Operation Chokepoint and dismantle policies that weaponize financial systems against the cryptocurrency industry;
Uphold the rights to digital privacy, decentralization, and innovation by ensuring that individuals and businesses in the cryptocurrency space can operate free from unwarranted government interference.
Be it further resolved, that the Libertarian Party encourages its members and affiliates to advocate for these principles at the local, state, and national levels, promoting a future where technological freedom and individual liberty are protected and celebrated.

Resolved:
WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party of Oregon has adopted the national Libertarian Party platform, which calls for peace with all nations, entangling alliances with none, and an end to U.S. policies of foreign intervention including military aid, economic sanctions, and regime change;
WHEREAS, the platform affirms both the right of all people to defend themselves and condemns the use of force against innocent life, whether committed by governments or non-state actors;
WHEREAS, recent escalations between Israel and Iran—including military strikes and retaliatory actions—pose a serious risk of drawing the United States into another unauthorized and undeclared war in the Middle East;
WHEREAS, continued U.S. military aid to foreign governments, including Israel, undermines American neutrality and risks entangling the United States in conflicts not of its choosing;
WHEREAS, Senator Tim Kaine in the Senate, and Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna in the House, have introduced War Powers Resolutions that would prohibit the President from engaging U.S. armed forces in hostilities against Iran without a formal declaration of war or specific congressional authorization;
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Libertarian Party of Oregon supports these War Powers Resolutions as a necessary reaffirmation of Congress’s sole constitutional authority to declare war;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian Party of Oregon calls on Oregon’s congressional delegation to support these resolutions and to oppose any unauthorized U.S. military involvement in the conflict between Israel and Iran;
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that the Libertarian Party of Oregon urges a return to a principled foreign policy of non-intervention, neutrality, and peace—guided by respect for innocent life, national sovereignty, and the U.S. Constitution.
