"First, sign this oath?"

State Libertarian Parties, with & without the oath We call for each state party to remove the oath. We believe state-by-state removal of the oath is both desirable and proven. Do what you can, where you can. If your state party does not require the oath, then join and contribute to the state party, otherwise work to remove the oath in your state. Join Libertarians for an Open Party and we will help. Libertarians for an Open Party was founded in 1999.
