1. The Indiana RLC is our state chapter of the only national GOP caucus group working for limited government.
A caucus is a meeting of supporters or members of a political party or movement. Every RLC member is a Republican working to change the GOP from the inside out, not vice-versa.

The Indiana RLC is a political action organization dedicated to promoting the ideals of individual rights, limited government and free enterprise within the Indiana Republican Party by:
A. Promoting these ideals among Party officials and its various organizations;
B. Identifying and supporting candidates sympathetic with these ideals;
C. Developing Republican Liberty Caucus membership among party registrants,
officials, and officeholders.

2. The Indiana RLC is dedicated to preserving individual liberty.
The RLC Statement of Principles and Positions offers a broad political agenda which consolidates libertarian, constitutionalist, classical liberal, and free market ideals. We have no litmus test for membership and do not exclude any citizen on the basis of ideological purity or conformity with Caucus positions on specific issues. We welcome every advocate of liberty and encourage members to join and participate in other liberty coalitions and organizations.

3. The Indiana RLC is a grassroots organization.
We are run by members, for members, who wish to influence political discourse and attain real-world results. We aren’t run by a secret board of directors, we don’t sell products, and we aren’t restrained by a small group of wealthy contributors or celebrity mentors. The organization is directed by members at the local and state levels for the benefit of individual members who wish to engage in the political process. We don’t focus on national publicity or media events, but engage in retail politics, one-on-one, at local community, precinct, and county events. The RLC leadership provides advice to member affiliates, but it does not run state chapters. Our state chapters have autonomy because they know the political landscape in their area better than anyone else. The National Board encourages state chapters to use innovative techniques to advance the organization’s mission and principles.

4. The RLC has a long history and has proven to be a sustainable organization.
Our national organization was founded in 1990, our vibrant history with many successes encourages us to keep fighting in 2010, 2012, and beyond. The Indiana RLC was recently officially chartered in 2008, and we will strive to emulate those same successes at a local level.

5. The Indiana RLC promotes liberty candidates.
The RLCUSA-PAC is an affiliated political action committee which allows members to support specific federal candidates endorsed by RLC members, within the legal framework for campaign financing. The PAC distributes funds to the most promising liberty candidates in Republican primaries and general elections, as a compliment to our member’s participation in those campaigns. State organizations have set up state PACs to distribute contributions to state legislative, executive, and local Republican contests. Unlike other organizations, we contribute directly to campaigns by encouraging member participation and financial contributions to actual political contests.

6. Every Indiana RLC activist is a volunteer dedicated to furthering our organization’s principles.
Our members want to achieve success and are genuinely working for change in the GOP. They want to be here. All of their actions, in accordance with the non-aggression principle, are voluntary. Moreover, our members value principle and country before establishment party politics. That said, we also want to achieve political success. As a result, we are unique in the political arena and provide insight and value to the current political debate. If Americans are ever going to be receptive to the message of individual liberty and limited government, it is not going to be through a public policy paper, but as a direct result of grassroots activists.

7. The RLC successfully balances standing firm on principles with a strong desire to implement our objectives
Morton Blackwell, founder of the Leadership Institute, once said (paraphrase), “If you truly believe in your cause, you owe it to yourself to work to implement your ideals.” Libertarians do not have a good track record for electoral success. The RLC is attempting to change that by using the Republican Party as a vehicle to implement our libertarian ideals. That said, all is not lost on libertarians. For it was libertarians who have shaped national public policy debates time and time again. From the privatization of Social Security and school choice to modifying America’s failed War on Drugs and taxation systems, libertarian thinkers have been tremendously successful in the think-tank world. Now it’s time to transfer our great ideas into policy!

8. The RLC is willing to work with a variety of groups on single-issue causes, bridging the gap.
The RLC has — and will continue to — work with establishment Republicans, moderate Republicans, the religious right, various types of Democrats, Independents, Greens, and the politically inactive on issues of mutual concern. We have partnered with left-leaning groups such as the Bill of Rights Defense Committee and the American Civil Liberties Union and right-leaning groups like Gun Owners of America and the National Taxpayers Union. We are affiliated with the Liberty Coalition and have endorsed the objectives of the Free State Project, Castle Coalition, and Marijuana Policy Project. The Indiana RLC continues to bridge the libertarian gap by standing firm on principle but working to fulfill our objectives.

If you’re ready to make a difference in the direction our state is going, please join the Indiana Republican Liberty Caucus and become involved today. To become a member of the RLC please follow the instructions at the top of this page.  Regular members are dues paying Republicans in good standing that agree with and act on our message of small government and individual liberty.
