Our Mission and Purpose
Mission:
“The mission of the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) is to return the Republican Party to its ideological roots of limited government, free enterprise and personal liberty and responsibility.”
Vision:
“Members of the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) believe in taking a principled stand consistent with the timeless principles of the founding fathers that at times stands in stark contrast to the existing party establishment.
Members of the RLC are committed to achieving the RLC’s mission by doing two things:
-
Working within their local Republican Party organizations to invigorate and revitalize the GOP in their area, and
-
Working to help get candidates who believe in and espouse the principles and positions of the Republican Liberty Caucus elected to office.
-
Members of the Republican Liberty Caucus conduct themselves both ethically and professionally, and strive to put principle over party, always.”
Liberty Pledge & Principles
It is recommended that all new members read and agree to the Liberty Compact as stated below:
“I pledge that I will work to: restore liberty, not restrict it; shrink government, not expand it; reduce taxes, not raise them; abolish programs, not create them; promote the freedom and independence of citizens, not the interference of government in their lives; and observe the limited, enumerated powers of our Constitution, not ignore them.”
Statement of Principles
The Republican Liberty Caucus supports individual rights, limited government and free enterprise.
We believe every human being is endowed by nature with inherent rights to life, liberty and property that are properly secured by law. We support a strict construction of the Bill of Rights as a defense against tyranny; the expansion of those rights to all voluntary consensual conduct under the Ninth and Tenth Amendments; and the requirements of equal protection and due process under the Fourteenth Amendment.
We support the Constitutional restrictions on federal government powers enumerated in Article I, Section 8 as an absolute limit on all government functions and programs. We oppose the adoption of broad and vague powers under the guise of general welfare or interstate commerce.
We oppose all restrictions on the voluntary and honest exchange of value in a free market. We favor minimal, equitable, and fair taxation for the essential functions of government. We oppose all legislation that concedes Congressional power to any regulatory agency, executive department, or international body.
We support the Constitution as the supreme law of the land, the republican form of government it requires, and the right of all citizens to fair and equitable representation.
We believe these are also the proper positions of the Republican Party.
