Merger with Liberty Caucus (2011)

Liberty Caucus (2011) is now a redirect to this article. The revision history for Liberty Caucus (2011) is here. TBSchemer (talk) 03:57, 30 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Number of members

The article says there are 36 members, but the listed members totals just 35. Cactusframe (talk) 06:41, 8 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The number of members has been removed from the description as it would be difficult to maintain a current accurate count.9Questions) 3 August 2016 —Preceding undated comment added 17:16, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Current Membership?

The references for most of the members are at least 2 years old. The membership in this caucus is not that stable. I do not trust the current list of members. I added references for people who self-report that they are members of this caucus. However, I am having a difficult time finding a solid reference or source for current membership. Can anyone identify or locate solid source material for current membership? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 9Questions (talk • contribs) 17:19, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Listing Jared Polis as member must be a mistake. Polis isn't conservative, libertarian, or a Republican. I suspect the list should name a different Colorado congressman, Ken Buck, but I can't find evidence to support that. 8.44.146.57 (talk) 16:17, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed Polis. I'm really not sure how he got listed. Thank you for bring it to our attention. Alexander Levian (talk) 21:51, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

libertarian

To my surprise I see that on 31 March 2017 AlexanderLevian deleted mention of the Liberty Caucus being libertarian, with the edit note, "except that's not what the sources are saying," and no discussion on the Talk page.

I've restored it, this time with three references, two of them from the RLC's own web site. If Alexander or anyone else thinks those three references are insufficient to establish the fact that the Liberty Caucus is much more libertarian in character than conservative, it is easy to find many additional references. NCdave (talk) 03:45, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is the page for the LC, not the RLC, you're on the wrong page. The sources you presented are about the Republican Liberty Caucus not Liberty Caucus. They're two different organizations with similar names. Go to that article with this source and make the changes. But I will be removing them here.

Jared Polis?

Congressman Justin Amash claims that Democratic congressman Jared Polis is a member, but he's not mentioned in this article. Amash said on Twitter, "Yes. In fact, there's already a great libertarian-minded Democrat in the @libertycaucus: @RepJaredPolis."[1] Does anyone know Jared Polis's relationship with the House Liberty Caucus? --JHP (talk) 00:01, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Amash has made this claim and Polis does have a history of working with Amash. But we probably need something more official than one tweet by Amash. I looked at the list of committees and caucuses Polis belongs to and the Liberty Caucus isn't mentioned[2]. Of course this might just be out of date. I'll keep looking for a source that has Polis confirming that he is a member. Alexander Levian (talk) 01:26, 27 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
