Republican Liberty Caucus Endorses Three Congressional Candidates in Georgia
Endorsed Candidates Pledge to Implement Limited Government Agenda

AUSTIN, TX – The Republican Liberty Caucus, a national grassroots caucus which advocates limited government and individual liberty within the Republican Party, is proud to endorse three outstanding candidates in the upcoming Georgia Republican primary. Carl Smith (CD12), Kelly Nguyen (CD5) and Mike Crane (CD13) stand out among the congressional candidates running in Georgia this year as true champions of individual liberty, limited government and fiscal responsibility.

According to Republican Liberty Caucus Endorsements Director Dan Sheill, “Georgia has a long history of electing pro-liberty legislators like Bob Barr, John Linder and Paul Broun. We think that these candidates will continue that tradition and make a big contribution to reversing Democrat excess and bringing us closer to restoring our Constitutional principles in Washington and within the Republican Party.”

These candidates were selected based on their answers to questions on our candidate survey and at the recommendation of the Georgia chapter of the Republican Liberty Caucus. Many candidates were reviewed but of the candidates for federal office only these three met our standards. The Georgia chapter has also made a number of recommendations for endorsements in state and local races which can be found on their website at http://www.gopliberty.org/.

This is a year when Liberty Republicans are becoming a major force in elections all over the country. The goal of the Republican Liberty Caucus is to elect at least six Senators and at least 30 Congressmen who are truly dedicated to the principles of small government, free enterprise and individual liberty. With a core of newly elected, principled representatives in Washington we can swing the debate away from the big government status quo and towards putting the best interests of the people first.

Republican Liberty Caucus National Chairman Dave Nalle observed that “These candidates represent the best the Republican Party has to offer. They do more than just pay lip service to the traditional GOP values of individual liberty and limited government and will bring desperately needed integrity back to our government. We urge voters to go to the polls in the primary and elect all of these candidates to send a clear message to Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama that we demand accountable government, protection of our rights and fiscal responsibility.”

In 1774 John Adams wrote that the revolution had been completed “in the minds of the people” before conflict ever broke out, and we believe that a similar revolution in attitude is taking place in the United States today. The people are no longer content to sit idly by and accept the dictates of out of control government. We are demanding better service and real accountability, and if we do not get it we will keep voting complacent and unresponsive office holders out until they get the message.
