"One of our

goals is to spread the Libertarian message"

said Norris, "and let people know that they

now have a new choice in local politics."

Some of the party's

ideas include seriously reducing the size of

government "becoming more attuned to the

original intent of the founders," said

Norris. The group would end the federal income

tax, which did not exist before 1914. Another

goal is to end the "miserable failure of the

so-called war on drugs which has resulted in the

formation of a huge black market criminal economy

and wasted billions in taxpayer money," he

said.

The Libertarian

Party is the third largest political party in the

United States and is the fastest growing.

The party will meet

at 7 p.m. at the Heritage Bank on Jeff Davis

Drive, Fayetteville.

Anyone interested

in "an alternative to the same old pork

barrel, tax-and-spend politics is invited,"

said Norris.
