Liberty Compact
The Liberty Compact was inspired by the late Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona, author of “Conscience of a Conservative,” who argued that often times 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.
I pledge to the citizens of this State, 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.
Georgians who have signed the Liberty Compact include Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle, Secretary of State Karen Handel, Congressman Paul Broun, Congressman Lynn Westmoreland, and over three dozen members of the Georgia General Assembly including Senator David Shafer.
