***********************************
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 candidates 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
open 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.
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.
