The Republican Liberty Caucus is endorsing Rand Paul for President. Their statement:
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.
This is a big win for Paul, whose campaign desperately needs it. The Liberty Caucus has in the past endorsed Ted Cruz, Ron Paul, Tom McClintock, and a host of other committed conservatives. If Paul can perform better than expected in Iowa, he may ahve an opportunity to continue to spread his message of liberty and limited government for several more months.
