| College Libertarians USA | Libertarian Professors | | Libertarian Party | Liberty Index | Republican Liberty Caucus | the libertarian philosophy of small government, individual libertyand personal responsibility. Inclusion in this list does not imply support of any political party, organization, legislation, or specific issue. Not all of the people listed are large-L Libertarians. Inclusion in this list doesn't require that the person endorses every view held by libertarians or the Libertarian Party. It also does not imply that the individual is ideological, as some liberty-oriented individuals (such as comedians Chris Rock and Sandra Bernhard) are clearly libertary-oriented but do not identify themselves as such.
