Resolution 25-02: Defending Cryptocurrency Innovation and Financial Freedom

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.

Libertarian Party of Oregon Public Policy Board
Resolution 23-01 Concerning Childhood Sex Changes and Transitional Hormone Therapy

The Libertarian Party Platform Planks 1.1, 1.5 and 2.13 encompass Parental Rights, Self-Ownership and Healthcare, adopted in 2016 as reaffirmed in Convention, May 2022.

Oregon: The Libertarian Party of Oregon Public Policy Board announced Resolution 23-01 Concerning Childhood Sex Changes and Transitional Hormone Therapy, a resolution voted on by the elected Public Policy Board. 

This resolution declares that whereas children are unable to consent, surgery and hormone therapy causes irreversible harm that is tantamount to child abuse.

“It is already illegal for parents and caretakers to abuse their own children,” says Sonja Feintech, Public Policy Board Secretary at the Libertarian Party of Oregon. “We have very strong laws already in place to criminalize the abuse of children and the level of harm that irreversible gender surgery and hormone therapy qualifies as abuse, one hundred percent.”

This resolution includes:

Whereas, children are not capable of consent; this is why we call them children (and not adults). 

Whereas, Libertarians fully support the right of adults to transition or undergo any medical treatment they desire to. We support all members of the LGBT+ community to live their lives as they see fit. All individuals have the same rights. 

Whereas, child abuse consists of any act of commission or omission that endangers or impairs a child’s physical or emotional health and development. Child abuse includes any damage done to a child which cannot be reasonably explained and which is often represented by an injury or series of injuries appearing to be non-accidental in nature.

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, the Libertarian Party of Oregon considers both transitional hormone therapy and surgical gender re-assignment surgery on children to be child abuse.

Libertarian Party of Oregon Public Policy Board
Resolution 22-06 Concerning Corona Vaccine and Injection Mandates

Libertarian Platform Plank 1.1 on Self Ownership states: 

“Individuals own their bodies and have rights over them that other individuals, groups, and governments may not violate. Individuals have the freedom and responsibility to decide what they knowingly and voluntarily consume, and what risks they accept to their own health, finances, safety, or life;” 

Oregon: The Libertarian Party of Oregon Public Policy Board announced Resolution 22-06 Concerning Corona Vaccine and Injection Mandates, a resolution voted on by the elected Public Policy Board. 

This resolution declares:

• The currently available scientific evidence does not support a public health benefit of mandated corona injections for children and adults and raises serious potential such policies will cause net harm to the individual and public health of Oregonians,
• The Constitution of Oregon delegates lawmaking authority to elected representatives of the People of Oregon, not unelected technocrats subject to regulatory capture at the Oregon Health Authority rubber-stamping the recommendations of industry insiders at OIPAT,
• The Oregon Immunization Policy Advisory Team lacks true diversity, including input from vaccine critics, health freedom/libertarian organizations, organizations for the support of vaccine-injured Oregonians, and alternative medicine/naturopathic practitioners,
• Principles of good government include the adoption of sunset clauses with new administrative rules, including new vaccine mandates in order to force their periodic review post-adoption, and
• The adoption of a public school mandate policy runs counter to the Oregon Health Authority’s stated equity goals, as only parents capable of affording private school tuition can escape the Oregon Health Authority’s harmful policy;
  

“The government has a very poor track record of making decisions for the public good when given unrestrained power, ” says Sonja Feintech, Public Policy Board Secretary at the Libertarian Party of Oregon. “The creation and reign of OHA in particular is a great example of unelected officials making health requirements and mandates that have long term repercussions with zero recourse for Oregon citizens. ”

This resolution includes:

Oregon has a long history with harmful health mandates often targeting vulnerable communities, including forced physical and chemical castration of homosexuals, mandated prefrontal lobotomies, mandated sterilization of the “feeble minded,” mandated electroshock therapy, forced psychiatric medicating of schoolchildren with Adderall and Ritalin, forced administration of AZT to babies born from HIV positive mothers, and involuntary fluoridation of water supplies.

Corona injection manufacturers, including Pfizer, have made generous political contributions to Oregon politicians, creating a conflict of interest in the administration of public policy contrary to the benefit of the People of Oregon.

As of November 11, 2022, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System lists 32,200 corona injection associated deaths and 183,165 corona injection associated hospitalizations

IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED the Libertarian Party of Oregon opposes all vaccine and injection mandates – both public and private – including proposals to add corona injections to OAR 333-050-0050;
