Rand Paul addresses Ted Cruz's inconsistancies



From Rand 2016:

One thing I think is clear: we can't afford to hang our hopes for the next election on reality show entertainers.

Or with a group of neocons.

We need a true champion of liberty and conservative causes.

That's why I am running and asking for your help today.

It's also why I am determined that people see the truth about my opponents.

One of them, Ted Cruz, has worked with me on some issues, but has some troubling tendencies that need to be discussed.

Ted Cruz tries to have it both ways and has flip flopped on number of serious issues. My latest ad addresses these inconsistencies.

Ted Cruz was against the patriot act when he ran, but voted to reauthorize it in 2015.

WHAT?

He was also for Obamatrade before he was against it.

Not a good idea.

He was also all for allowing illegal immigrants to stay in 2013, but now he is vying for the bus driver position on Donald Trump's deportation express.

You get the idea.

My thing is - if you ask people to trust you, well, you should be honest with them.

I think Ted is playing games and politics. And this is serious business.

We should know where people stand.

Please watch the video.

Stand with me today.

In Liberty,

Where in the world is Marco Rubio?



From Rand 2016:

If the American people can't trust Senator Marco Rubio to keep his promises and do the job he was elected to do, how in the world can we trust him to be president?

Yesterday, as I heard Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid gloating after passage of $1.1 TRILLION omnibus spending bill that he bragged "capped off a successful year for Senate Democrats," I couldn't help but wonder, where all of my Republican colleagues who told the American people they would fight President Obama's agenda?

One Senator, Marco Rubio, couldn't even be bothered to show up . . . again.

My campaign just cut a brand-new ad highlighting Senator Rubio's chronic absenteeism, which I hope you'll take a moment to watch.

If Senator Rubio is too busy running for President to stand with conservatives and fight President Obama's radicalism, he should stop ripping off taxpayers. Period.

At least then, patriots like you and me would have an opportunity to have a true conservative standing beside us in the Senate instead of a Senator who puts his own personal ambitions ahead of doing the job he promised voters to do.

If you agree, I hope you'll please agree to your most generous contribution to help me run this ad far and wide.

Whatever you can do -- whether it's $50, $25 or even $10 -- will help my campaign run this ad far and wide.

Rand Paul wants to destoy the unfair tax code



From Rand2016:

Burn it.

Shove it through a wood chipper.

Or chop it up with a chainsaw.

How would you destroy our over 70,000 page tax code?

My campaign has prepared a special video about my plan to drive a stake through the heart of the IRS and I hope you will take a few moments to watch it.

My 14.5% Fair and Flat tax plan will return over $2 trillion to the American people.

It's your money and the Washington Machine is going to have to learn to live on a diet.

In fact, the lobbyists and insiders who game the system will hate my plan the most.

But that's ok.

I'm not running to "manage" Washington.

Business-as-usual plunged our nation $18.3 trillion in debt and allows our tax code to strangle economic growth.

I'm in this race to upend the status quo and defeat the Washington Machine.

That starts with kicking the IRS out of your life for good.

My plan is the biggest and boldest tax cut in American history.

It slashes FICA – the worker tax – to zero. It's gone for good.

Ronald Reagan ignited an economic boom that carried our country for two decades by slashing tax rates.

My plan will follow his model by providing real economic stimulus and exploding the GDP over 10% in the first ten years.

And you will be able to file your taxes on a simple one page form.

I can hear the shrieks from Capitol Hill.

The special interests and the entrenched politicians already label me "Enemy #1."

And with polls showing me leading Hillary Clinton in key swing states, I know they are going to double-down on their smear campaign against me.

So please take a few moments to watch my campaign's video and complete your "Fair and Flat Tax Now!" petition.

After you add your name, please chip in a contribution of $20.16 to help my campaign get this video in front of as many voters in the key early caucus and primary states as possible.

I'm fighting to take our country back. I hope you will join me today.

End sanctuary cities

From Rand2016:

Our politicians have done nothing.

Nothing but break all their campaign promises to secure our borders.

And now we are paying the price for decades of betrayal.

Will you help me launch a grassroots revolution to finally put an end to sanctuary cities and finally secure our borders?

Eleven million people have crossed our borders illegally...

...While our federal government looks the other way.

The truth is no president, Republican or Democrat, is willing to enforce immigration law.

And now they're being flouted and laughed at by cities like San Francisco.

In fact, over 200 state and local jurisdictions REFUSE to enforce federal immigration laws!

That MUST come to an end.

But it's not going to stop until you have an executive in the White House who says, 'I will enforce immigration laws.'

I voted against the Senate's so-called "immigration reform" bill because it refused to secure our borders.

This reckless legislation would have also allowed sanctuary cities to keep taxpayer dollars despite flat-out ignoring our nation's immigration laws.

Not one penny of your money should reward local governments that go on strike against our immigration laws.

And when President Obama tried to impose illegal executive amnesty, I voted against funding his lawless behavior.

Even when many in BOTH parties and the media bellowed that we needed to "get something done," I fought back because the rule of law is not up for compromise or debate.

For too long the Washington Machine and their pals in Congress have shirked their duty while the situation at our border exploded into a full-on crisis.

And that needs to end once-and-for-all.

But it's going to take a revolution among the grassroots to finally secure our borders and end sanctuary cities.

So I am asking you to join the movement to restore the rule of law in America.

Add your name to the "Stand with Rand: End Sanctuary Cities and Secure our Borders" petition right away.

And after you sign your petition please chip in a contribution of $20.16 to help my campaign spread the message we must end sanctuary cities and secure our borders to the voters in the key early caucus and primary states.

Get the IRS out of your life



From Rand2016:

Defeating the Washington Machine begins with tearing up the tax code and starting over.

This doesn't make me the most popular guy with the army of lawyers and lobbyists who game the system.

But I'm not running for their approval.

I'm in this race to take our government back.

That's why I'm proposing a $2 trillion dollar tax cut – the largest in American history.

My plan is simple, it's fair, and it cuts taxes for ALL Americans.

And it ends the workers tax: I will end the FICA payroll tax, the largest tax for many working Americans.

It goes to zero.

I hope you'll take a few moments to watch this special video my campaign prepared on my bold plan to drive a stake through the heart of the IRS and our entire 70,000 page tax code.

After you watch the video, please add your name to stand with me in the fight to get the IRS out of your life.

And once you sign your petition, please chip in a contribution of $20.16 so I can promote this plan through email, online and social media ads in the key early states.

Senator Rand Paul lead Hillary in the polls

From Rand2016:

Another day and another new poll proves I'm the Republican best positioned to defeat Hillary Clinton.

A just released Quinnipiac poll shows me leading her in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

This is their second poll that shows me leading her in a head-to-head matchup in a state Republicans haven't carried in a generation.

And it backs up a recent poll where I led Hillary in Ohio that demonstrates my stand against the Washington Machine is our party's path to victory in 2016.

Will you help me spread the message I am the Republican best positioned to defeat Hillary Clinton to the voters in the key early caucus and primary states by chipping in a contribution of $20.16 today?

For months now, media "experts" have spouted off predictions that the 2016 contest will be a showdown between two candidates with yesterday's last names pushing yesterday's failed Big Government policies.

But the polls tell a different story.

A recent Washington Post/ABC News poll showed Hillary Clinton's favorability ratings sinking.

The only candidate who did worse was the Republican establishment's "can't lose" candidate.

Me?

That same poll showed me tied for first with Republican primary voters.

And polls in must-win states like Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Pennsylvania have me leading Hillary in head-to-head matchups.

Since my first day as a candidate for President, I have met voters across the country demanding an end to the business as usual status-quo.

This election isn't about managing Big Government or whose turn it is.

The American people are hungering for a candidate who will announce on day one in office that Big Government's days are numbered.

And my plan to defeat the Washington Machine doesn't make me very popular with the establishment in Washington.

But that's ok.

Voters are responding to my plan to defeat the Washington Machine by:

>> REPEALING ObamaCare 100%;

>> SLASHING taxes for every American to get our economy moving and put the federal government on a diet;

>> TACKLING our out-of-control $18 trillion debt by passing a Balanced Budget Amendment;

>> MAKING Congress read the bills they scheme to ram into law;

>> ENDING the reign of career politicians with term limits.

I'm serious about changing Washington, and my ten-and-a-half–hour filibuster that forced President Obama's illegal NSA spying to expire proved my commitment.

Running the same old candidates and supporting the same old failed policies will only guarantee the same result in states like Pennsylvania.

But my message of defending the Bill of Rights and taking down the Washington Machine is a message that can win a state Republicans haven't won in a generation.

So please help me spread the message I am the Republican best positioned to defeat Hillary Clinton by chipping in a contribution of $20.16 today!

Support The Due Process Guarantee

From Rand2016:

There is only one way to describe detaining a U.S. citizen indefinitely and denying them a trial by jury: Un-American.

If the federal government can arrest you, throw you in prison for years, and strip away your due process rights to prove your innocence, our Republic is sliding into dangerous territory.

That’s why I’m introducing – along with Senator Mike Lee and others - the Due Process Guarantee to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).

This amendment blocks indefinite detention of American citizens without being charged and denying them a jury trial unless there is a vote in Congress.

Will you stand with me in the fight against indefinite detention?

I’m running for President to defeat the Washington Machine on EVERY front.

Just last week, you and I took a step toward restoring the Fourth Amendment in my filibuster to end illegal NSA spying.

But now, our Sixth Amendment rights to a speedy and public trial are threatened by the indefinite detention language in the NDAA.

Some of my colleagues will claim we should “trust the government” because this power will never be abused.

I REFUSE to trust President Obama where matters of Constitutional principle are at stake.

Not when the Director of National Intelligence lies to Congress about the existence of the NSA’s illegal spying program and still has a job.

And not when the IRS targeted Tea Party groups for political harassment.

I believe you and I were endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights.

And those include the right to be free from an Orwellian policy that allows the government to toss American citizens in prison while denying them the ability to prove their innocence.

This is a fight you and I can win.

In 2012, a conference committee killed an amendment the Senate passed stripping the indefinite detention language out of the NDAA.

But after hundreds of thousands of Americans stood with me in my showdown with President Obama over illegal NSA spying, you and I proved the grassroots turning up the heat can push our government toward protecting the Bill of Rights.

A vote could come as soon as this week.

So I’m counting on your support right away.

Please add your name to my fight against the Washington Machine’s attack on due process by signing your “STOP INDEFINITE DETENTION” petition right away.

After you sign your petition, please chip in a contribution of $20.16 to help me mobilize a movement to defeat the Washington Machine by standing for the Bill of Rights.

The Washington Machine hasn’t given up attacking our liberties.

It’s up to you and me to defend them.

Support Rand Paul as he stands up to the statists



From Rand2016:

There are howls of rage across Washington.

I stood against President Obama and forced his illegal domestic spying program to expire and now the establishment is lining up against me.

But I came here to defend the Constitution.

And outside the beltway, Americans are demanding their government abide by the Bill of Rights.

Over 200,000 patriots stood with me against President Obama over the NSA's illegal spying program and our movement was able to earn a victory no one saw coming.

My campaign has prepared a new TV ad on my NSA showdown against President Obama.

Please take a few moments to watch the ad and help me get it in front of as many voters as possible in the key states by chipping in a contribution of $20.16?

The spy state apologists were FUMING after my ten-and-a-half-hour filibuster and repeated objections blocked them from rushing renewal of these illegal programs through Congress.

They were asking us to "trust" President Obama with the collection of our phone records.

Well after the revelations that the IRS was targeting tea party groups for harassment and the Director of National Intelligence lying to Congress about the existence of the NSA's illegal spying program "trust Obama" is out the window.

And these programs don't even work!

The FBI admitted the NSA's programs helped them crack exactly ZERO cases!

So I took a stand and I fought.

And I refused to give an inch.

The very heart of the Washington Machine's abuse of our liberties is President Obama's illegal NSA spying program.

And standing up for the Bill of Rights and demanding an end to illegal domestic spying is what Americans outside the beltway are crying out for.

That's why polls in states like Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania all show me leading Hillary Clinton in head-to-head matchups.

I'm the Republican best positioned to defeat her because I stand up to President Obama and the Washington Machine's illegal assaults on the Bill of Rights.

I need your help to spread this message far and wide.

So please chip in a contribution of $20.16 and help my campaign get this ad in front of as many voters as possible.

It was because true patriots across America stood with me that I was able to force President Obama's illegal NSA spying program to expire.

While this was an important first step toward ending illegal NSA spying once-and-for-all this fight will continue.

I'm pushing to make sure this week will end with President Obama barred from collecting our phone records.

So help me spread my message to as many voters as possible by chipping in contribution of $20.16 to get my campaign's new TV ad on the air in key states today!

In Liberty,

Getting down to the wire



From Rand 2016:

Tomorrow I will force the expiration of the NSA's illegal spying program.

I will not allow any bill extending illegal NSA spying to be rushed through ahead of the deadline.

My oath is to support and defend the Constitution and I won't back down.

The abuse of general warrants and the attack on the Bill of Rights must stop once-and-for-all.

We don't have to choose between fighting terrorism and obeying the Constitution.

That's why, two years ago, I sued the NSA.

It's why I proposed the Fourth Amendment Protection Act to force our government to abide by the Bill of Rights.

It's why I have fought for a full, open and honest debate on warrantless domestic spying -- a debate that is always kicked down the road in the name of "security."

So last week, with the proponents of this illegal spying rushing toward a deadline to ram through renewing illegal spying, I took a stand.

I filibustered for over 10 hours to shine a light on the vast expansion of the spy state and the erosion of our liberties.

I stood on the Senate floor until the early hours of the morning and helped block any short-term extension of these powers.

Tomorrow, the Senate will come back from recess with just hours left before the NSA's illegal spying powers expire.

And I won't allow defenders of the spy state to legislate through a manufactured crisis by holding a deadline over the head of Congress.

Let me be clear: I believe the number one job of the federal government is national defense.

I believe we must fight terrorism and I believe we must stand strong against our enemies.

But we do not need to compromise the Constitution in the process.

In fact, we must not.

I am ready and willing to start the debate on how we fight terrorism without giving up our liberty.

This can't be delayed any longer.

I do not do this to obstruct.

I'm fighting for a strong national defense that upholds the Constitution and protects Americans from enemies who seek to do us harm.

So I hope I can count on you to sign your petition and stand with me as I force illegal NSA spying to expire and stand strong against any deals or threats.

In Liberty,

Back Rand Paul as he stands up to the statists to defeat the Patriot Act



From Rand2016:

While many Americans are gearing up for another early-summer weekend, I'm gearing up for an all-out fight Sunday afternoon.

When you and I won our stunning victory last week -- defeating every attempt to extend or reauthorize the worst of the so-called "PATRIOT Act's" ILLEGAL spying provisions -- that was just the beginning.

Since then, I've been attacked viciously by the Obama White House -- the same President who ran for office pledging to end these spying schemes as part of the "hope" and "change" he was offering the American people -- for daring to stand up for the Constitution I swore to uphold as a U.S. Senator.

That's business-as-usual for the Washington Machine: Campaign on nothing but lies -- and then deliver the American people the status-quo.

If you want a new direction in Washington, I must be able to count on your IMMEDIATE action.

With only about 36 hours left, time is running out. So please chip in $20.16 to my campaign's "NSA Spying Showdown" Money Bomb right away, and then forward this email to everyone you know.

Our Founders were willing to give up everything to ensure Americans' God-given rights were protected -- ultimately drawing a line in the sand AGAINST any government encroachment on our freedoms with the Bill of Rights.

Today, the Bill of Rights is under assault like never before by members of BOTH parties. And the Fourth Amendment right to privacy against government intrusion is at the top of their list.

Instead of hauling in the NSA lawbreakers who crafted these ILLEGAL domestic spying programs -- and then lied about it before Congress -- my colleagues in the Senate are now looking for ways to excuse and extend the schemes.

They tell you and me we have to give up every bit of our Liberty for security -- while ignoring the fact the FBI admitted this program has cracked exactly ZERO terrorist plots!

You and I don't have to give up one ounce of our Liberty for security.

But it's up to you and me to ensure our government spends its time targeting those who are truly dangerous -- instead of fumbling through law-abiding American citizens' phone records.

This is not a fight you and I can ignore.

It strikes to the very heart of what it means to be an American.

I believe free people can best live their lives out from under the control or watchful eye of government bureaucrats.

But the Washington Machine believes security can only be had in the arms of Big Brother.

If the American people buy this lie, I fear our fragile Republic may not long survive.

We must fight back.

Please chip in a contribution of $20.16 to my "NSA Spying Showdown" Money Bomb right away.

Keep the pressure on the Senate to let the Patriot Act expire

From Rand 2016:

The clock is ticking and I need your help.

When the Senate returns from recess on May 31st, just 8 hours remain for the spy state apologists to try and cobble together a deal to extend the so-called "PATRIOT Act" and illegal domestic spying.

I just finished my interview on Fox News Channel's The Kelly File and I am emailing to ask for your immediate support to turn up the pressure on the Senate to end illegal domestic spying once-and-for-all.

Can I count on you to stand with me by adding your name to my fight to put a stop to the NSA’s bulk data collection program?

And after you join the fight, please chip in your most generous contribution to my campaign’s "Swamp the Senate" Money Bomb.

With just days remaining before the deadline, I need to prove to my colleagues the American people are calling for their government to abide by the Bill of Rights.

That’s why I need your immediate support for my campaign’s money bomb.

Defenders of the surveillance state were FURIOUS when I stood on the Senate floor for 10.5 hours and forced a delay in voting on extending the so-called "PATRIOT Act."

And they were scrambling when just past one in the morning on Saturday, I led my colleagues in objecting to every proposed extension of illegal spying.

But deadlines are when the Washington Machine and its allies in Congress exert pressure on my colleagues to roll over and "pass something."

The Obama administration is even claiming this program is necessary to stop terrorist attacks.

But a Justice Department Inspector General Report revealed ZERO cases where the NSA’s illegal bulk data collection program prevented a terrorist attack.

In fact, our government was so bogged down sifting through innocent Americans' electronic communications that it missed a foreign intelligence service tipping us off about the Boston bomber.

The time to end this illegal domestic spying is right now.

And with only 8 hours of floor time until the so-called "PATRIOT Act" expires on June 1st at 12:01 AM, this is a fight you and I can win.

But I need to know you stand with me.

Please add your name to this fight right away.

And after you add your name, chip in a contribution to my campaign’s "Swamp the Senate" Money Bomb today.

Your support will allow me to reach true patriots from coast to coast to turn up the heat on the Senate to finally END illegal domestic spying.

So please stand with me today.

Keep the pressure on to defeat the Patriot Act

From Rand2016:

What a week!

It all culminated last night around 1:30 AM when the U.S. Senate attempted to ram through legislation to keep the NSA's illegal domestic spy programs alive.

The first vote was on the House passed "reform" bill, which still allows bulk data collection under another method.

It failed, leaving spy-state apologists only one option - to ram through some type of short-term extension of the unconstitutional "Patriot" Act.

I stood up to the surveillance state every step of way.

I refused to back down - objecting to EVERY short-term extension attempt made last night.

As a result, the Senate was forced to adjourn WITHOUT reauthorizing the "Patriot" Act - meaning the beast is set to expire on May 31st.

When the Senate comes back into session next Sunday, they'll have only 8 hours to pass a bill before the "Patriot" Act expires.

That means if you and I can hold the spy state off for only 8 more hours, we'll relegate the NSA's illegal spy program to the trash bin of history where it belongs.

But to do that I'm going to need your help throughout next week.

The truth is, this fight is extremely important to our future.

The Founders understood Liberty cannot long survive without privacy.

Most conservatives know government registration of firearms would ultimately lead to gun confiscation.

It's no different with the rest of our lives.

Once government bureaucrats know every aspect of our lives - what we watch, what we buy, what we eat, where we worship - it won't be long until they try to run them "for our own good."

That's why it's critical you and I hold the spy state off for 8 more hours on May 31st.

My staff is preparing a few videos of exactly what happened last night on the Senate floor.

As soon as they're uploaded and ready, I'll be sure to send them to you.

Thanks to your support, you and I won a stunning victory this week. We proved if freedom-loving Americans stand and fight the Washington Machine - we can win!

But I'm afraid our job is not over yet.

So I hope I can count on you to continue to stand with me in this fight.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul

Tell Congress not to reauthorize the spying provisions of the Patriot Act

From Rand2016:

Washington, D.C. doesn't need a massive, illegal and unconstitutional domestic spying program to "listen" to the American people.

They could do so right now.

They could heed the voices of millions of true patriots like you from all over the country and stop ANY reauthorization of the so-called "PATRIOT Act's" spying provisions.

With so-called "PATRIOT Act" spying provisions expiring on May 31st, I'm going to lead the fight against any attempt to extend this dangerous scheme and filibuster with everything I have.

I promise they will hear us. I promise they will not be able to just brush you and me aside.

If they're going to continue this unconstitutional madness, they're going to have to railroad me in front of millions of Americans who want our federal government to start obeying the law.

This is a defining moment for you and me.

The Big Government establishment of BOTH parties is furious.

They know last week's court decision declaring the NSA's metadata program ILLEGAL gave you and me a massive shot of momentum.

Instead of hauling in federal lawbreakers before Congress, they just want to paper over the NSA's domestic spying programs and keep the status quo.

I guess they want us to think the Founding Fathers would be just fine with the Big Brother surveillance state they imagine for this country!

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Founders included the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution because they understood that as soon as government bureaucrats know exactly how we live our lives, it won't be long until they try to run them.

Almost every conservative I know opposes national gun registration.

They know that's just the first step toward firearm confiscation.

These NSA spying programs effectively allow the government to register and catalogue everything we do!

I'm not backing down, but I must be able to count on you to stand with me.

The only way Washington, D.C. will ever change is if you and I keep fighting to change it.

Please sign your STOP SPYING ON INNOCENT AMERICANS petitionnow.

And if possible, please agree to your most generous contribution to help me reach out and mobilize even more Americans.

There's not much time before the May 19th deadline, so please act right away.

Thank you for all you do.

Tell Congress to rein in NSA spying

From Rand Paul 2016:

It's illegal.

That's what the New York-based 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals unanimously said about the NSA's bulk collection of American phone records earlier this morning.

As I've stated since the very beginning, the NSA's program of collecting billions of innocent Americans' phone records, texts, emails, Internet searches, and social media posts is blatantly unconstitutional.

The Founders included the Fourth Amendment in the U.S. Constitution to protect Americans' right to privacy from government snooping.

But the court didn't even need to address the program's constitutionality!

Please join me in taking our country back by adding your name right away.

While spy-state apologists point to the so-called "PATRIOT Act" as the source for legal authorization, the court noted the bill does nothing of the sort!

The entire scheme is flat-out ILLEGAL. Period.

I'm sure this is going to make my colleagues' skin crawl in Congress.

They want nothing more than to keep the national security spy state growing until it tracks, traces and catalogues virtually every detail about every aspect of our lives.

To them, the safety Americans yearn for can only be had under the watchful eye of Big Brother.

Of course, I know the legal wrangling over the NSA's domestic spying programs is far from over.

But with a fight brewing over renewal of the "PATRIOT Act" in Congress, I suspect this court's decision will only embolden some of my colleagues to enshrine the NSA's ILLEGAL and UNCONSTITUTIONAL spying schemes in federal law.

That's why I'm counting on your IMMEDIATE action.

Won't you please sign your End Illegal NSA Spying petition immediately?

It's absolutely critical that you do so.

I'm going to fight them with everything I have -- if I can count on your help.

The Founders understood liberty cannot long survive without privacy.

Most conservatives know government registration of firearms would ultimately lead to gun confiscation.

It's no different with the rest of our lives.

Once government bureaucrats know every aspect of our lives -- what we watch, what we buy, what we eat, where we worship -- it won't be long until they try to run them "for our own good."

After all, the Washington machine believes bureaucrats know best.

They couldn't be more wrong.

Out-of-control government has gummed up the wheels of our economy, leading to only 0.2% growth in the first quarter of this year.

It's sunk our nation in $18.2 TRILLION in debt.

Meanwhile ObamaCare is driving up health insurance premiums, shuttering hospitals and worsening the quality of American healthcare.

I know they say, "trust us."

But how can we?

How can we after the IRS targeted conservative organizations for harassment and intimidation?

How can we after the Justice Department spied on reporters who dared criticize this administration?

Even this entire NSA spying scheme is another example of an out-of-control government bureaucracy breaking the law to get what it wants.

Yet, more and more voices are now admitting these unconstitutional programs don't even work.

If our government used the legal tools it has to target terrorists -- instead of sifting through innocent Americans' information -- we could fight terrorism and uphold the Constitution.

But it's going to take a President who is willing to take the oath to uphold the Constitution seriously.

I ran for office because I feared the Washington machine was out of control.

I believed it was time for true patriots -- not career politicians -- to stand up and stop the madness.

Today, I'm running for President because we need a true, uncompromising voice for liberty.

And I'm going to fight any attempt by my colleagues in Congress to disguise the NSA's unconstitutional spying programs with a veil of legality.

But I must be able to count on your support.

First, please sign your End Illegal NSA Spying petition right away.

Second, please chip in your most generous contribution.

I don't know what you can afford.

My hope is you will be extra-generous and chip in $250, $100 or even $50.

If that's too much though, please chip in $25 or even $10.

The fight over NSA spying on innocent Americans is about to heat up in Washington, D.C.

I'm ready.

But I'm counting on you to please stand with me.

In liberty,

Rand Paul on Loretta Lynch and more

From RandPaul 2016:

The Washington machine has bullied Americans for too long.

And nothing is more symbolic of an out-of-control Federal Government trampling our liberties than President Obama's nomination of Loretta Lynch to succeed Eric Holder as Attorney General.

You see, she defended President Obama's illegal Executive Amnesty as "reasonable."

I believe the Attorney General should defend the separation of powers, not make excuses for a President end-running Congress through executive temper tantrum.

Loretta Lynch even described the NSA's warrantless spying program as "necessary and constitutional."

She also refused to commit ruling out the Federal Government's authority to order a drone strike against American citizens on U.S. soil.

And during her time as United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, she seized over $100 million from citizens through so-called "civil asset forfeiture."

President Obama thundered that the delay in voting on confirming Loretta Lynch is "embarrassing."

What I find embarrassing is the disrespect for the Constitution Loretta Lynch shows when she tries to justify President Obama's policies.

The Attorney General's loyalty should be to the Constitution, not to any President or the Washington machine.

I believe if our party sticks to our guns on defending the Bill of Rights, the Washington machine's days of attacking our liberties are coming to an end.

Recent polls that show me leading Hillary Clinton in key swing states prove that my message positions me as the Republican best-positioned to defeat her.

But one prominent member of our Party who is "seriously considering" entering this race believes Republicans should roll over and confirm Loretta Lynch because "the President deserves his team."

Haven't we had enough of the go-along-to-get-along madness in D.C.?

I'm in this race because I believe America deserves better than the same old candidates running on the same old policies that lead to the same old disastrous results.

I want to end the NSA's illegal domestic spying.

I believe the President is not a king and can't impose amnesty through executive fiat.

And I believe the government can't seize your property before you are convicted of a crime.

I'm prepared to take this message to all corners of America.

But this will be a long race that needs to be won one handshake, one voter, and one rally at a time.

So please chip in a contribution so my campaign has all the resources necessary to reach the voters in the key early states of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada.

Thanks to your support, my campaign has hit the ground running and my first travels to the early states saw enthusiastic crowds ready to join the movement to defeat the Washington machine and take our country back.

I hope I can count on you to join them.

Support the Rand Paul campaign

From Rand 2016:

The media's labeled Senator Paul the Democrats #1 enemy because our movement is their biggest threat.

And with the December 31st reporting deadline just 4 days away, the liberal press is desperate to puncture holes in our momentum.

Coming off historic victories in the midterm elections, they are hoping to blast out headlines that Senator Paul fell short and the Democrats are prepped for victory in 2016.

That's why it's vital Senator Paul count on your immediate support to help him raise $125,000 before the December 31st deadline.

So please chip in a contribution below and send a message that conservatives are ready to fight in 2015 and win in 2016.

In Liberty,

The Team at Rand 2016


There is also a ballot on that website too asking which direction you want the country to go. If you are tired of the anti-civil liberties attitude of the statists this is your chance to stand up to them and let them know they can no longer trample on your civil liberties. Let them know you're taking your country back.

Support Rand Paul in 2016

From Rand 2016:

Can you and I keep the momentum going?

I hate to be this blunt.

But with two important dates right around the corner, I'm counting on your action today.

FIRST, the December 31st Fourth Quarter Fundraising Deadline is rapidly approaching.

I know I've already been labeled "Democrats' Enemy #1."

But a big fundraising quarter for me will help prove to our national media and members of BOTH parties that the sky is the limit for you and me in 2015 and beyond.

It will help prove that our shared movement for liberty and limited government – the movement Democrats fear most – is only growing!

With many folks already turning their focus to 2016, that's bad news for Big Government Democrats!

SECOND, on January 3rd, 2015, the new Congress is sworn in. Senator Harry Reid will be officially out as Senate Majority Leader.

If our Republican Party is serious about winning in 2016, we simply must deliver.

That means cutting spending, repealing ObamaCare, reining in NSA spying, and standing up to President Obama's abuses of power – like his recent Executive Amnesty scheme.

Make no mistake November 2014 was just the beginning.

With these two extremely important dates ahead of us, I'm counting on you to stand with me once again.

Will you please fill out your Republican Roadmap at once and agree to your most generous contribution IMMEDIATELY?

Please chip in whatever you can.

Your support today will make all the difference.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul

Support Senator Rand Paul

From Rand 2016:

There are just 4 days left until I have to submit my financial report.

President Obama, his allies in Congress and establishment politicians in both parties are waiting to see if you're still in my corner.

Polls for key Senate races across the country show control of the Senate is up for grabs.

The liberals in Washington are counting on their big money Super PACs to push Democrats across the finish line and preserve Harry Reid's status as Majority Leader.

So the September 30th reporting deadline is a key test of our movement's strength.

President Obama and Harry Reid are hoping I fail to turn in a strong report on September 30th.

Can I count on you to help me prove them wrong?

I'm committed to fighting President Obama's disastrous agenda and winning at the ballot box in 2014.

That means fighting for 100% repeal of ObamaCare, ending the NSA's unconstitutional spying and always standing for life.

But I'm just one Senator.

You see, the politicians in Washington take their cues from you.

If I can turn in an eye-popping report by the September 30th deadline, candidates across the country will see the American people are demanding Congress to protect the Bill of Rights and stand up to President Obama's reckless policies.

And while 2014 looks like a year where conservatives can score major victories, it's vital we capitalize on a promising political environment with action.

That's why I hope you'll agree to chip in a contribution before the September 30th deadline.

Whatever you can afford - $10 or $20 - will help me reach my goal and send a clear signal to the Washington elite that the grassroots is primed to fight and win in 2014.

And believe me, the political class in Washington would like nothing more than to write the obituary for conservatives this year.

Prove them wrong by standing in my corner and helping me to submit the strongest report possible by the September 30th deadline.
