representing the RLC National Committee, has recently been speaking
nationally against extension of the Homeland Security Act because of
abuses by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
"The
Republican Liberty Caucus strongly supports state legislative efforts
to counter TSA practices which infringe on privacy rights and threaten
passenger safety. We call for a nationwide response and demand that
federal authorities stop using bully tactics and instead work to change
TSA policies which have generated the public outrage which has inspired
anti-TSA legislation in Texas and other states," Nalle said in a recent statement.
anti-TSA legislation in Texas and other states," Nalle said in a recent statement.
He
also recently spoke on behalf of the RLC National Committee against
increasing the federal debt ceiling, noting that the average American
holds $46,000 in debt because of the federal borrowing policy.
“This
is moment when we absolutely must decide how much government we need
and how much we can really afford. It’s time to stop passing on a
snowballing burden of debt to future generations,” Nalle said.
Nalle

writing political blogs during a campaign for Texas state legislature
which evolved into the present position. While in college, he worked for
Al Gore at the Clearinghouse for the Future as a newsletter editor and

“We
are delighted that his schedule worked around our Conference and that
we will have Dave Nalle with us in Maine, it brings our local RLC
members closer to their national organization,” said Maine RLC Chair Ken
Lindell, a former member of the Maine House of Representatives.

Republican Liberty Caucus is independent of the official Republican
Party state or county committees and is free to endorse candidates in
primaries. In the 2010 elections, 12 of the 15 candidates endorsed by
RLC won seats in the Maine legislature. Current-Gov. Paul LePage won
pre-primary endorsement from RLC last May.
“The RLC supports
individual rights, limited government and free enterprise. We endorse
only candidates who reflect those goals and we testify in support of
bills which promote those aims,” Lindell explained.
