According to a graphic displayed prominently at LP.org, over 200,000 people now “like” the Libertarian Party‘s facebook page, which has seen a continuous increase in support.

Other LP social networks, not featured as prominently on the LP homepage, are here.

An old LP blogpost from July 2010 when facebook fans reached 70,000:

Dear Friend of Liberty,

If you’ve been getting our Monday Messages, you might remember just a couple of months ago I announced that the number of fans on our Facebook fanpage had passed 40,000.

Well, last weekend our fanpage passed 70,000! Wow!

Our Facebook fanpage was first set up by former LNC Vice Chair Chuck Moulton. Since last September, it has been actively run by LP headquarters interns or former interns who became staff members. I’m pleased that our Facebook fanpage is run by young Libertarians!

Last week (before we hit 70,000), I researched our Facebook fan growth compared to some other politics-oriented organizations. Here’s what I found:

Thanks to all our fans, and to all you Libertarians who keep our party moving and growing!

Sincerely,
