The Liberty Compact was inspired by the late Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, author of “Conscience of a Conservative,” who argued that often times government was not the solution but the problem. Candidates for public office seeking the endorsement of the Republican Liberty Caucus are asked to sign the Liberty Compact (word doc).
I pledge to the citizens of this State, and to the American people, that as their elected representative 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.
Liberty Compact signers include Congressmen Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Ron Paul (R-TX), John Shadegg (R-AZ), and former Congressman Bob Barr (R-GA).
Send your completed Liberty Compact to the RLC National Chair.
