The Republican Liberty Caucus endorsed Dr. Rand Paul for President.
The RLC is a national, “voluntary grassroots membership organization dedicated to working within the Republican Party to advance the principles of individual rights, limited government and free markets. Founded in 1991, it is the oldest continuously-operating organization within the Liberty Republican movement.”
The RLC mission is to “return the Republican Party to its ideological roots of limited government, free enterprise and personal liberty and responsibility.”
Senator Paul is the natural pick for this organization’s endorsement, given his too-often lonesome crusade to advance these very same ideas. He fights these fights with both his words and deeds, in the US Senate. And he has remained reliably consistent to these critical principles over time.
“In a crowded field of candidates, most of whom show little genuine commitment to individual liberty, cutting spending or reducing the size of government, Senator Paul stands out as a consistent champion of the values of the Republican Liberty Caucus: limited government, free enterprise and personal liberty.” — RLC endorsement of Rand Paul
I cannot agree more.
The Republican Liberty Caucus often calls themselves “the conscience of the Republican Party“. After watching people like John Boehner, Mitt Romney, John McCain (and the rest of his merry band of neo-cons) waffle and pander to the advancement of statism in our country, and after observing the shame of the 2012 Party convention in Tampa, I’m not sure the GOP, with its dulled sense of history, duty and purpose, would know what to do with one.
