RLC Mission Statement       

     After decades of New Deal and Great Society social activism; combined with the rapid decline in civics and American history education in our government-run public schools; mixed with a growing population of ill-informed and apathetic voters; government at every level in this country continues to be too big, too intrusive and too expensive.
     Founded in 1990, the Republican Liberty Caucus works to advance the principles of limited government, individual liberty and free markets within the Republican Party and throughout the nation. Our focus is on a broad range of issues, including education, taxation, property rights, gun rights, free speech, federalism and the proper role of government.
     While rolling back decades of government "nannyism" will require a great deal of public education and grassroots lobbying, 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.
     The Republican Liberty Caucus is committed not to just electing more Republicans ... but better ones, as well.

Programs & Activities

     The RLC has an ongoing list of projects that help us complete current plans and goals. These projects help bring awareness to all Americans about the importance of limited government, freedom and liberty.

Liberty Compact  The Republican Liberty Caucus sponsors and distributes The Liberty Compact, a pledge signed by local, state and national candidates and incumbents which identifies them as supporting the pro-liberty/limited-government agenda in office.

Liberty Index  The Republican Liberty Caucus maintains a liberty rating system, The Liberty Index, to track and identify the pro-liberty voting records of Members of Congress.  The Liberty Index is compiled and distributed annually.

Liberty Publications  In order to promote public awareness and interest in the organization and its goals, the Republican Liberty Caucus publishes a series of newsletters:

Republican Liberty is the organization's monthly printed newsletter distributed to members, financial supporters, elected representatives and others covering the organization's activities and progress.
Liberty Watch is an e-mail newsletter distributing press releases, op/eds and analyses of issues and legislation from around the country.

Liberty Campaign Training  The Republican Liberty Caucus hosts, presents and sponsors various training programs for RLC state/local chapters, grassroots activists, party leaders and candidates across the country including live seminars, teleconferences, boot camps, special reports, manuals, online chats, audio- and videotapes, etc., focusing on areas such as voter identification, recruiting volunteers, fundraising, opposition research, message & communications, etc.

Liberty Outreach  The Republican Liberty Caucus sponsors efforts to bring back disenchanted independent and third party voters who share a common ideological philosophy of government ... including members of the Libertarian Party, Reform Party and Constitution Party.  The RLC also undertakes efforts to unite and work with the various wings of the Republican Party in areas of mutual interest.

Liberty Candidate Assistance  In addition to training and volunteer activities, the Republican Liberty Caucus has a Political Action Committee (RLCUSA-PAC) for the purpose of providing direct financial assistance to qualified, like-minded candidates and will additionally, where appropriate, make independent expenditures on behalf of selected candidates, legislation and ballot initiatives, as well as undertake issue advocacy projects.
