Subject: Email Ballot 20260412-01 Opposing Foreign Influence

We have an LNC email ballot.  Votes are due to the LNC List on this email thread by 11:59 pm Pacific Time on April 19th, 2026.

Resolution: 

Opposing Foreign Influence, Foreign Aid, and Entangling Commitments

WHEREAS, the Libertarian Party holds that the government of the United States exists solely to secure the liberty, safety, and property of the American people, and has no authority to act as financier, guarantor, or enforcement arm for foreign states, foreign wars, or foreign pressure campaigns; and

WHEREAS, libertarians oppose all foreign aid, undeclared wars, entangling alliances, coercive sanctions, intelligence partnerships, and any political arrangements that convert foreign priorities into domestic American obligations; and

WHEREAS, the Constitution vests in Congress alone the power to declare war, and libertarians reject the bipartisan practice of presidential war-making on behalf of foreign interests, ideological projects, or permanent-security-state priorities; and

WHEREAS, foreign states and their domestic lobbies routinely bypass or exploit Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) requirements to steer U.S. policy, creating a corrupt framework that binds American taxpayers, troops, and diplomacy to the interests of foreign governments; and

WHEREAS, the pro-Israel lobby represents the most visible and successful example of this pattern, with organizations such as AIPAC openly reporting more than $53 million in direct PAC support to 361 candidates in the 2024 cycle alone, successfully making the U.S.-Israel relationship the centerpiece of American Middle East policy, as documented by scholars John J.

Mearsheimer and Stephen M. Walt; and

WHEREAS, the same mechanisms of influence operate on behalf of numerous other foreign principals, including but not limited to Israel, France, Ukraine, Georgia, Germany, Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, and the member states of NATO, as well as through other multilateral arrangements; and

WHEREAS, the bipartisan foreign-policy establishment has entangled the United States in multiple simultaneous geopolitical flashpoints, including the Israel-Iran conflict, the Russia-Ukraine war, deepening commitments surrounding Taiwan and China, and the long-standing military standoff on the Korean peninsula, each carrying the grave risk of direct confrontation with nuclear-armed or near-peer adversaries at enormous cost in blood, treasure, debt, and the erosion of constitutional restraint; and

WHEREAS, the United States currently maintains hundreds of active Foreign Military Sales cases, many accompanied by implicit, multi-billion-dollar security commitments that further bind American policy to overseas conflicts; and

WHEREAS, these arrangements fundamentally violate the principle of strict political independence and a foreign policy of peace, commerce, and non-intervention;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee condemns the systematic redirection of American foreign policy by any foreign state or domestic lobby, and declares that no foreign government, whether Israel, Germany, Ukraine, Taiwan, France, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, the member states of NATO, or any other, has any rightful claim on the blood, treasure, debt capacity, political obedience, or military service of the American people; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee reaffirms and operationalizes the existing Libertarian Party Platform planks on personal liberty and foreign policy by calling for the immediate and complete end of all foreign aid, including military aid, economic aid, intelligence assistance, security assistance, loan guarantees, and subsidized arms transfers, to all foreign governments without exception; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls for the United States to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls upon the United States Department of Justice to enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act equally and without exception against all agents representing foreign principals, including persons operating within domestic political organizations on behalf of foreign governments or foreign political parties; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls for legislation requiring full public disclosure of all foreign-government or foreign-principal funding to U.S. political campaigns, PACs, 501(c)(4) organizations, think tanks, congressional junkets, and influence operations, regardless of current FARA registration status; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee opposes all entangling alliances, mutual-defense commitments, undeclared security guarantees, forward war commitments, and open-ended obligations that risk dragging the American people into war with Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, or any other foreign power; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee calls for the restoration of Congress's exclusive constitutional authority to declare war, and rejects all unilateral or open-ended military action undertaken without clear congressional authorization; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Libertarian National Committee rejects the doctrine that America must serve as arsenal, paymaster, diplomatic shield, or military guarantor for the world, and instead reaffirms a foreign policy of peace, commerce, non-intervention, and strict political independence; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Chair is directed to publish this resolution upon adoption.

Co-Sponsors:  Bost, Vinson, Chadderdon, Nekhaila

Subject: Re: Email Ballot 20260412-01 Opposing Foreign Influence

I vote no.

While I do think this is better than the previous FARA resolution that specifically called out Jewish organizations, I still do not believe the Party should endorse government lists. 

FARA is sold as a transparency requirement, the same as the FEC's disclosure requirements. As a political Party, we know full well the chilling burden placed on us by FEC requirements, even when (to the general public) they look fair on paper. 

Who here trusts government lists? 

Under FARA, you can go to prison for up to 5 years for failing to disclose foreign interests.

How many of you have tried to run political ads on Facebook, only to have to upload your ID and wait until approval?

"Oh, sorry, you have to upload your ID and get approved if you want to run a political ad right now."

This requirement came about following the 2016 election where Russian actors violated election law and FARA disclosure.

FARA was central to the government's case against "Russian election interference," and although it didn't work against them, it did lead to increased burdens on all of us, ultimately resulting in the suppression of political speech.

Should we endorse this government crackdown on free speech?  By the text of the resolution, it seems we should be siding with the state in this case.

I don't know about some here, but I do not trust the DOJ and the FBI's national security apparatus to create fair elections.

I very much understand the desire to remove unjust influence from elections, but I do not trust government with the power to make that happen.

There are a lot of things I'd like to see in the world, but as a Libertarian, I know that government is not the answer. 

Just like with the FEC, even requirements aimed at creating "fair elections" are twisted by the government as a weapon against free speech.

We should not advocate for government lists regarding free speech, no matter the country of origin. Any power given to the state to police speech, even if it's only to force disclosure, can ultimately be turned against us.

I am in support of this resolution.

Would you like me to keep your "yes" vote recorded?

Point of order(I believe) Mr. Secretary, per the region 1 agreement alternates are ordered by senior and junior, they don't serve for a specific representative, so my vote would be counted so long as any two of the three reps above me do not cast their vote.

Since Mr. Chadderdon and Mr. Thon have already voted, my own cast vote would supersede Mr. Thon's, therefore I will stand by my withdrawal.

The "No" votes seem to literally be votes against transparency; they would allow foreign governments to come hijack US political outcomes without disclosure. 

They are votes to legitimize and normalize the domestic spying in the political parties — which is ostensibly to stop this very thing. Cointelpro was about countering Russia's KGB compromising US politics.  

Agree or not, we owe it to our members to keep our house clean of foreign influence, subversion, and political corruption. The law should be applied equally. Americans have a right to know who is moving their politicians. We are not even banning foreign governments from participating, we are merely saying people have a right to know if their politicians are beholden to foreign agents. 

Its not even controversial. 

What's wrong with you folks?

It appears our board is perfectly fine with foreign parasites influencing domestic parasites to leach off our taxpayers without the public's knowledge Mr. Martin

Truly disheartening, but unsurprising

Some would seemingly believe mirrors are a conspiracy to make them look bad.

The government is bad, but not every single thing is some grand conspiracy - I gave my reasoning for voting no.

I don't support government lists. I gave examples of how this very law has been leveraged to harm our Party. 

That's not working with "foreign parasites" or normalizing "domestic spying" - I'm not the one asking government to get involved with political speech.

I understood your intentions perfectly Mr. Thompson, you will radically support the unproductive parasite classes right to lobby for other members of the unproductive parasite class to exploit the productive class on the grounds that you don't like lists.

No grand conspiracy required
