According to the Livingston Libertarian website,www.livingstonlibertarians.org, Libertarians want to protect personal and economic freedom, “unlike Republicans and Democrats, who use government to control your personal and economic behavior.” 

“We are in the innovative position of being socially tolerant (live and let live!) and financially conservative (small c). We love and defend the civil liberties recognized by our U.S. Constitution’s Bill of Rights, and want the government out of our wallets.”
