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

A few updates from RLC state affiliates:

Idaho: Ron Lahr, a RLC member, attended a meeting of Ron Paul supporters on C’oeur d’Alene on Monday, July 7. Ron spoke on the RLC’s behalf. He is now working with the state contact, Greg Maeser, to establish a RLC charter in Idaho.

Michigan: A few candidates were added to the listing of endorsed candidates in 2008. The affiliate is preparing for the RLC National Convention, which they are hosting in September.

Missouri: Rob Hillman, the new RLC state contact in Missouri, is working to charter the state affiliate. Rob is also running for a seat on the Rivers Township (Saint Charles County) Republican Committee in Missouri.

New Hampshire: I’m still waiting to hear about candidate endorsements from the affiliate contact.

New York: I’m still waiting to hear about candidate endorsements from the affiliate contact.

Utah: The newly chartered state affiliate should finish endorsing candidates in the coming weeks.

Wisconsin: I have received confirmation from at least six individuals interested in chartering the RLC affiliate.
