Be Civil. Agreeing with everyone else is not required for participation; however, please be careful not to let your disagreement devolve into name-calling.
Use Evidence. We love facts. Footnotes are not required on a post-by-post basis, but be ready to back up your "facts" with reliable sources or, at least, a well-reasoned and logical explanation.

Hello, fellow Defenders of Liberty!
I created this thread to tell you about another Liberty minded political community here on reddit: the Model Libertarian Party of /r/ModelUSGov. The Model Libertarian party is a big-tent libertarian organization within the larger Model US Government composed of some of reddit's finest activists and debaters. We are united under the cause of liberty and creating common-sense solutions to political issues. Our party is one of many within the model government, including but not limited to: the Socialist Party, the Republican Party, the Democratic Party, the Green-Left Party, and the Distributist party What exactly is /r/ModelUSGov ?
To explain, /r/ModelUSGov is a simulation of the US Government filled with redditors. We are congressmen, senators, governors, assemblymen, cabinet members, reporters, pundits, and justices. We debate, cut deals, pass bills, and stand on principle.
Our party has opened up a lot of new opportunities for new members to pursue. Joining our party now would mean you’d have the chance to shape the future of not just Model Libertarian Party but potentially the entire model nation. Why should I join the Model Libertarians?
This Sounds Great! How do I join?
To join, all you have to do is visit this Join a Party thread on /r/modelusgov and ask to join the Libertarians. All libertarians and liberty-minded individuals are accepted and warmly welcomed!
We look forward to defending Liberty with you!
Essentially as the title says. I'm curious if there are other places online where Utah libertarians conglomerate at all.
I'd like to be a bit more active here and helping it grow, assuming there isn't somewhere else serving that niche already
Please see the events page on the Utah Libertarian Party webpage for details. An excerpt:
The Utah Libertarian Party will hold its annual State Convention at the Salt Lake County Council Chambers on April 22, 2017 at 10 AM
Another note:
Anyone who signs our pledge against the initiation of force for political gain can participate; but only those who have paid state dues of $20 in the year before the convention may vote on party business
If you haven't paid, please consider doing so, but also don't feel like you shouldn't go. Come check it out and get a feel for how the party works!
Let me know if you are interested in being a moderator. I claimed the sub after seeing the /r/LibertarianPartyUSA post on /r/GaryJohnson to make sure it wasn't captured by trolls. Although I am Libertarian and become more so as time goes on, I'm not really into politics enough to be passionate about growing the sub. But I am happy to stick around and perform general mod duties that every sub needs.
Specifically, I am interested in hearing your ideas for populating and growing the sub. But I probably won't say no to the first few people who step up.
