Founded in 1990, the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) is a national, grass roots organization affiliated with the Republican Party. The goal of the RLC is to elect pro-liberty candidates to office. Georgans have been involved in the RLC since its founding in 1990. The Republican Liberty Caucus of Georgia (RLC-GA) was formally chartered in 2002.
Our Purpose:The Republican Liberty Caucus works to advance the principles of limited government, individual liberty, and free markets within the Republican Party and throughout the country. Our candidates focus on a broad range of issues, including taxation, property rights, gun rights, free speech, federalism and the proper role of government.
Offering a home for smaller government Republicans within the party, the Republican Liberty Caucus helps avoid a potential exodus to Libertarian, Constitution, and other third parties, which would open the door to big government victories from leftist candidates. The Republican Liberty Caucus is proud to promote the Republican Party's historic small government message.
While rolling back decades of government "nannyism" will require extensive public education and grassroots organizing, the most important means of changing public policy is to change public officials. Therefore, the Republican Liberty Caucus works to elect pro-liberty Republicans to offices at all levels, partisan and non-partisan, in both primary and general elections.
