***********************************
OUR PURPOSE:
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 of
Texas works to advance the principles of limited
government, individual liberty and free markets within the Republican
Party and throughout Texas. 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.
In addition to giving disenfranchised smaller-government Republicans a home by
creating incentive to stay in our party, the Republican
Liberty Caucus of Texas helps avoid
a potential exodus to Libertarian, Constitutional, and other third parties,
which would end up weakening our thin margin over the Democrats, thus opening
the door to big-government victories from leftist candidates. The Republican
Liberty Caucus of Texas is
proud to promote the GOP's smaller-government message. Our limited
government, individual liberty and free market ideas will win by inclusion.
There is strength in numbers.
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 of Texas 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 of
Texas is committed not to just electing more Republicans
... but better ones, as well.
