WASHINGTON, DC – The Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) is proud to announce the endorsement of Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) for the Republican presidential nomination. In a crowded field of candidates, most of whom show little genuine commitment to individual liberty, cutting spending or reducing the size of government, Senator Paul stands out as a consistent champion of the values of the Republican Liberty Caucus: limited government, free enterprise and personal liberty.

An RLC presidential endorsement requires a candidate to secure a two-thirds vote of the RLC state charters. Only a few presidential candidates have earned this honor in the 25 year history of the organization. While Rand Paul won the straw poll in New Hampshire at the RLC National Convention last October, the formal endorsement is the product of a more involved and controlled process engaging directly with RLC state charters and members.

“The RLC is a 100% grassroots, bottom up organization, and this endorsement indicates Senator Paul is the candidate of choice among our state charters and membership at large,” said RLC National Chairman Matt Nye. “Senator Paul has been a consistent favorite with our members since he announced his candidacy, and we are pleased to have the opportunity to formally endorse him.”

It's interesting that they're running Ted Cruz in their header.

It is interesting. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see anything about Ted Cruz that makes me think "liberty." I never bought that theory, and it's more of the same from those who keep trying to redefine the word.

I think the RLC is a bit looser with their standards for a liberty-proponent, as I personally would have had Rep. Massie or Sen. Mike Lee up there over Cruz, but to be fair, despite being a completely dishonest campaigner and most likely a Neo-con plant, in terms of rhetoric he has been playing a fair bit of lip-service to liberty principles of late.

Nevertheless, it's good to see that the RLC still knows who the Real McCoy is in this election. Suck on that Megan Kelley and Fox News!

Does the RLC have any real influence?

It's composed mostly of grassroots Republicans, across the country (set up like YAL with chapters and so forth).

I don;t know how many member they have, but these are the sort who actually turn out to vote, or volunteer/donate.
