Rand Paul Says Libertarians Should Vote GOP in 2014


Young Americans—conservative, libertarian, independent—are as fed up with big government as their parents and grandparents. We are the party that is willing to address their unique concerns and in doing so, we will build a new majority that might finally turn this country around. The Republican Party is not perfect and there is some dissent within the ranks, but we've seen how abusive the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Justice, and the National Security Agency have been under Democratic leadership. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) writes, that by contrast, the heart of the Republican Party embraces freedom and we need to vote and then massage the party to get the party to fight harder to implement a positive vision of economic freedom, low taxation and individual liberty.
