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

The Georgia RLC hosted a strategy session on Saturday, December 5. Members discussed the future of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Georgia. Like-minded individuals weighed whether the RLCGA should focus more on Georgia or on federal issues, with consensus being Georgia-focused. Dialogues were given on how to bring about the proper change within the state, including the methods. Endorsements of candidates and legislation are the short-term goals for the RLCGA. This upcoming Session is a crucial one in Georgia and the RLCGA will be active in promoting pro-liberty legislation while attacking anti-liberty legislation.

Below are the minutes of the Convention portion of the meeting:
