2008 Libertarian National Convention
The 2008 Libertarian National Convention was held from May 22 to May 26, 2008 at the Sheraton Hotel (formerly the Adam's Mark Hotel) in Denver, Colorado. The delegates at the convention, which was sponsored by the United States Libertarian Party, nominated Bob Barr for the presidency and Wayne Allyn Root for the vice-presidency in the 2008 presidential election through the convention process, televised nationally by C-SPAN.〔http://inside.c-spanarchives.org:8080/cspan/cspan.csp?command=dprogram&record=202093789〕
Libertarians hold a National Convention every two years to vote on party bylaws, platform and resolutions and elect national party officers and a judicial committee. Every four years it nominates presidential and vice presidential candidates.
==Platform==
In 2006 the self-styled Libertarian Party "reformers" at the convention in Portland, Oregon took out 46 platform planks detailing party positions, leaving just fifteen. In 2008 more "radical" libertarians wanted to restore that platform. They did not succeed, but they narrowly prevented the reformers from watering down the non-aggression principle in the party's “Statement of Principles”.〔David Weigel, (Who Isn't Trying to Take Over the Libertarian Party? Scenes from the LP's most newsworthy convention in years ), Reason Magazine, May 23, 2008; Matt Simon, (Libertarians Nominate Ex-Republican Barr ), Huffington Post, May 26, 2008.〕 The revised platform did replace the plank on secession, deleted in 2006, with a definition of self-determination drawn from the Declaration of Independence: “Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of individual liberty, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to agree to such new governance as to them shall seem most likely to protect their liberty.”〔(National Platform of the Libertarian Party ), Adopted in Convention, May 2008, Denver, Colorado.〕
