Founded in 1991, the Republican Liberty Caucus works to advance the principles of limited government, free markets and individual liberty within the Republican Party.

Last summer I reported on growth of the RLC’s state-based eGroups. These eGroups, operated by YahooGroups.com, serve as the RLC’s primary online communications vehicle. They are consistent, reliable, and allow for membership participation, event announcements, and grassroots coordination.

Membership in eGroups has steadily climbed since the summer of 2006. What follows is the information how many subscribers each state had in 2006, followed by 2008, followed by 2009.
