The Liberty Compact was inspired by the late Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, author of Conscience of a Conservative, who argued 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, which can be downloaded as a word document (.doc) or can be printed from a web document or a PDF and sent to the RLC.
I pledge to the citizens of Alabama, 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).
Candidates can send completed Liberty Compacts to the Alabama RLC Media Director.
