Mission Statement

The Lysander Spooner Institute supports reducing the size, scope and power of government at all levels and on all issues, and opposes increasing the size, scope and power of government at any level, for any purpose. To advance this platform, the institute conducts policy research which may be used by political parties and candidates to design platforms, programs, and resolutions. The institute also educates public officials and the general public about its platform through publications, op-eds, press releases, and responses to media inquiries.
