# https://lplcpa.org ## Pages - [Key Issues](https://lplcpa.org/211-2/): There are quite a few issues in Pennsylvania that need to be resolved (see the LPLC Platform).  However, they are all minor compared to two huge issues: fixing Pennsylvania’s dismally failing education system is number one and fixing our elections is number two.  Second only to avoiding our country’s bankruptcy, the same two issues also are top issues nationally. However, at least seventeen states have recognized the education problem and are making fundamental changes to improve their schools. Fix Our Schools Article III, Section 14, of the Pennsylvania Constitution mandates that, “The General Assembly shall provide for the maintenance and […] - [Other Recommended Information is not done yet (sorry)](https://lplcpa.org/206-2/): We are sorry, but this page of our website is not yet finished.

More specifically, “live and let live” means that force must not be used on an individual, unless that person has initiated the use of force or engaged in fraud.  This is the simple but powerful principle from which the Libertarian Party’s positions on all issues are logically and consistently derived. […] - [What Is A Libertarian?](https://lplcpa.org/120-2/): Principle Libertarians are strongly principle-based.  Guaranteeing individual rights and maximizing liberty is paramount.  Libertarians want a peaceful society where coercion is minimized and everyone acts voluntarily.  The primary libertarian principle is known as the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP).  (<= Click the link for a complete explanation of the NAP.) Government The only legitimate function of government is to secure and guarantee individual rights, and to provide an extremely limited number of truly public goods (think roads).  Government should enforce the NAP and ensure that people are free, honest and peaceful.  Every law is an authorization for government to use force on […] - [Business Meeting Minutes](https://lplcpa.org/88-2/) - [Take Action !](https://lplcpa.org/85-2/): If you are on this page, you must have some degree of interest or concern.
