About

The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire (RLCNH) is a state chapter of a national organization, the Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC). The RLC was founded in 1991 to promote and advance traditional Republican Party values within the GOP at state, national, and local levels. Those values—which include low taxes, small government, individual liberty, 2nd Amendment rights, self-responsibility, free market capitalism, and adherence to the U.S. Constitution and values reflected in the Declaration of Independence—have often been forgotten by various politicians and activists in America. Originally referred to as “the conscience of the Republican Party,” the RLC was designed in part to bring the GOP, its leadership, and its elected officials back to its basic principles. Its national board of advisors include U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, national radio talk show host Neal Boortz, author and Prof. John Hospers, former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson, economist and author Dr. Mark Skousen, and many others.

The RLCNH, formed in December 2004 at a meeting that brought together statewide political activists in Concord, New Hampshire, exists to advance the values of the Republican Liberty Caucus in the New Hampshire Republican Party and in political campaigns for positions at the local, state, and national levels in the state.

While the RLCNH exists to support liberty-oriented Republican candidates in New Hampshire with manpower, talent, and other resources, the associated Republican Liberty PAC assists such candidates with monetary funding. Potential candidates are screened by a survey that pinpoints political positions on key economic and social freedom issues. The voting records of incumbent New Hampshire Republican officeholders are also regularly reviewed for adherence to Party values as reflected in the state constitution and the New Hampshire Republican Party platform. State level candidates who are found to support the state Constitution and party platform, as well as RLCNH values such as individual freedom, small government, low taxes, and reduced govenment spending, are supported by both RLCNH manpower and Republican Liberty PAC funds.
