Free Speech:
ALR advocates absolute free speech, and believes that the regional government has no right to restrict it at all. ALR is against "Hate Speech" laws, or any laws that legislate "politically correct" forms of speech.

Economics:
ALR believes in a lassiez faire type of capitalist system, in which regulations are minimal at most in order to create a more efficient Hyatian economy. We also believe that taxes should be kept as low as possible or eliminated. These beliefs are based on the principle that nationstates should have more power than regional governments.

Education:
Liberal Reformists believe the regional government should play no role in dictating education policy for our citizens. This is a national issue, not a regional issue.

Healthcare:
We believe the regional government should have no role in health care or health insurance.

Drugs:
Liberal Reformists believe in keeping all drugs safe and legal at a regional level, but letting individual nations decide how they want to handle the issue.

Energy:
The ALR does not support any intervention in the energy sector by the regional government.

Environment:
The ALR supports moderate environmental laws to ensure the safety and long-term stability of the region.

Property Rights:
Liberal Reformists believe property rights are entitled to the same protection as all other human rights. We believe that owners of property have the right to control, use, dispose of, or in any manner to enjoy their property without interference. We are opposed to eminent domain, whether by the government or by a private entity.

Justice:
We believe the justice system should treat everyone equally. We support habeas corpus and are opposed to ex-post facto laws and guilt by association. We also believe judges should be held more accountable and are opposed to arbitrary powers within the legal system.

Welfare:
Liberal Reformists believe that welfare is a national issue and should not be dictated by the regional government

Abortion:
The ALR believes that abortion is a national issue. We do not support regional government intervention in this area.

Guns:
We support a universal declaration of the right to bear arms at a regional level as a part of a broader declaration of civil rights.

Marriage:
Liberal Reformists do not support government involvement in marriage.

Defense:
Liberal Reformists support keeping a strong regional military to protect our citizens. We realize that military intervention is sometimes necessary to protect our people.

Privacy:
Liberal Reformists are against dragnet surveillance and DNA databases of our citizens. We support strict restrictions on the law enforcement and intelligence communities to protect the privacy rights of our people. We also support regulations mandating that websites, such as Google, provide a high-visibility opt-out option for any tracking performed on the website.

"Liberal Reformists do not support government involvement in marriage."

Since the government is the source of the law of the region, does this mean that under Liberal Reformists rule, marriage would be, uh, well, maybe not "illegal" but "without any legal standing or recognition?"

Just curious.

We don't believe that marriage should be an institution that is legally recognized. Civil unions for legal purposes (health insurance, funerals, alimony, etc)? Sure! But marriage is a religious institution and should not be restricted by government. Separation of church and state is a key tenet of our party's principles.

Throw a kegger?

I think ALR has had a pretty fine first term. We set up the constitution, passed two bills, have a third awaiting further discussion, joined REATO, and repelled some invaders. Not too bad for a virgin voyage. No reason to stop the progress now.
