A group of 23-year-olds is spearheading an effort in Bucks County to expand the Libertarian party. <\/p>\n
The organization disappeared locally in recent years, said Nicholas C. Hillman of Warminster, chairman of the Bucks County Libertarian Party, established in December. Were reviving it. <\/p>\n
Hillman, Brad Cooper of Newtown Township and Josh Roth of Richboro have held meetings in Doylestown and Richboro hoping to ignite a passion for their third-party endeavor. <\/p>\n
Democrats and Republicans have controlled everything, Hillman said. They brought the country down to where it is today. <\/p>\n
Libertarians are traditionally known to be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Members believe that gives them an opportunity to pick off disillusioned Democrats and Republicans. <\/p>\n
The two main parties are basically the same, Hillman said. Both are for big government, ever-expanding. You never see a bill to cut spending. We want to be the opposite. <\/p>\n
And Democrats speak about peoples personal rights, then pass bills to just restrict them more, Roth said. <\/p>\n
Hillman believes the key to power is getting Libertarians elected to smaller positions where they can get a seat at the table. For example, he is running for Judge of Elections in Warminsters District 4. <\/p>\n
Start from the bottom up, Hillman said. Thats a seat we can obtain. It doesnt take a lot of effort to do. <\/p>\n
Cooper, a student at Middle Bucks Institute of Technology, contends the Libertarian message resonates with young people. <\/p>\n
