2006 RLC National/State Meeting in Orlando Sept. 15-17

Since its rechartering in 2004, Florida has been one of the national RLC's fastest-growing state affiliates and will host the RLC's 2006 national meeting Sept. 15-17 in Orlando in conjunction with the Florida RLC's state meeting.

Besides taking care of the business of the RLC, we will hear updates from key RLC activists and office holders, free market economists and journalists at the RLC's biennial national reunion.

The RLC are the sane ones, although my opinion of the Florida GOP is not good right now.

From U.S. Rep. Katherine Harris to the Wall Street Journal's Stephen Moore, diverse elements of the GOP's big tent gathered at the 2006 national meeting of the libertarian Republican Liberty Caucus Sept. 15-17 in Orlando. But their message was unified: the GOP must rediscover its winning commitment to individual rights, limited government and free enterprise.
