This sort of invasiveness is also precisely the reason we have a Second Amendment protecting our right to keep and bear arms.” (Feb 2011) - Rand Paul: “In the last nine years, the Federal Government has expanded the scope of its power at an alarming rate, while blatantly ignoring the Constitution. Whether its passing the 315 page Patriot Act without a single member of Congress ever reading the bill, proposing a National ID Card, establishing FISA courts and utilizing warrantless searches, or betraying the medical privacy of ordinary citizens, the Federal Government has overstepped its limited powers as stipulated in the Constitution.” (Sept 2010) - Rand Paul: “The President believes that we should just squeeze more money out of those who are working.

Administration officials said that it was due to cuts imposed by the sequester. Meanwhile the President found an extra $250 million to send to Egypt. You know, the country where mobs attacked our embassy, burned our flag, and chanted death to America. I say: not a penny more to countries that burn our flag. The President says he cant find anything to cut except for White House tours.” (March 2013) - Rand Paul: “Congress is debating the wrong things. Every debate in Washington is about how much to increase spending--a little or a lot. About how much to increase taxes--a little or a lot. Only in Washington could an increase of $7 trillion in spending over a decade be called a cut.” (Feb 2013) - Rand Paul: “We will fight to defend the entire Bill of Rights from the right to trial by jury to the right to be free from unlawful searches. We will stand up against excessive government power wherever we see it. We cannot and will not allow any President to act as if he were a king. We will not tolerate secret lists of American citizens who can be killed without trial.” (Feb 2013) - Rand Paul: “We pay more in taxes now than we spend on food, clothes and housing combined. Taxes are high because spending is out of control. We are spending ourselves into oblivion. Our deficit, as a percentage of gross national product, is greater than at any time in history. We are bankrupting our country, and the bottom line is that the politicians dont get it.” (Feb 2011) - Rand Paul is 100% Pro-Life. - Rand Paul: Exit the UN; maintain U.S. sovereignty.
