Sen. Paul speaks on waste in Sandy emergency funding

Rand Paul is fighting for the American People, and this video shows proof of this!

Support Smart Emergency Spending
The Hurricane Sandy Emergency Funding package is a three-year spending bill packed with hundreds of millions of dollars of unrelated pork earmarked for everything but hurricane relief.

There is no evidence Congress is good at spending your money.

So the last thing we should do is hand over three years' worth of spending authority disguised as Hurricane Sandy relief.

Why don't we authorize one year at a time with functional oversight and make sure the relief money is not being wasted or abused?

Why don't we offset the costs of the relief package with spending cuts to prevent adding another $60 billion to our national debt?

I have proposed offsetting hurricane relief costs by ending $9 billion worth of foreign aid that ends up in the private accounts of dictators who oppress their own people and burn our flag.

My amendment to the hurricane relief package would've required Congress offset the relief costs with spending cuts one year at a time.

The problem is that so-called conservatives in the Senate refuse to stand up for what's right and voted against fiscal responsibility.

They continue to put their own wants before the needs of this great nation.

Despite the defeat of my amendment, I vow to keep fighting this battle because America's future is worth fighting for.

We will never climb out from under our crippling $16 trillion debt with abusive spending like this.

In Liberty,

Senator Rand Paul

P.S. Congress is planning to spend another $60 billion on pet projects disguised as Hurricane Sandy relief spending.

And so-called conservatives refused my proposal to offset the hurricane relief costs with spending cuts, especially money we can save by refusing to enrich foreign dictators.


But I vow to continue this fight and hope that you will join me.


Please make a generous contribution to help RandPAC fight abusive government spending.

Romney Speaks to Empty Stadium

The pictures of presidential candidate Mitt Romney delivering a speech in a mostly empty Detroit stadium on Friday were played and replayed over the weekend as yet one more example of how his campaign may not yet be ready for prime time.

Delivering what had been billed for days as a “key speech,” Romney found himself in the cavernous home of the Detroit Lions — built to hold 65,000 people – speaking to just 1,200 people.

The economic address immediately became a lightning rod for its unflattering optics and the candidate’s odd ad libs, the New York Daily News reported.

“You know, the trees are the right height, the streets are just right,” Romney said about Michigan in closing, repeating a pair of observations about the state of his birth.

The remarks were met by puzzled murmurs in the otherwise silent Ford Field, which featured large swaths of empty seats. The Daily News and others speculated that this speech was designed to broadcast the message of a native son’s triumphant return.

Romney, who has opened a six-point lead over Rick Santorum in a new Rasmussen Reports poll, spent the bulk of his speech reciting his economic plans — but fumbled as he tried to show love for the American auto industry.

“I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck,” said Romney, adding his wife “Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs.” The boast was slammed as a pander to the auto industry, and reminded voters the multimillionaire Romney is the wealthiest candidate in the White House race.

Really, Why Not?? RON PAUL MAKES A GREAT POINT

Paul talks hemp, federal regulation in ND visit

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul praised hemp as an alternative crop and said a free-market approach would protect the nation's environment Monday during North Dakota campaign stops that drew hundreds of cheering supporters.

North Dakota, which is holding Republican presidential caucuses March 6, is one of 13 states with a caucus or primary from Feb. 28 to March 6. North Dakota has 28 delegates to the Republican National Convention in August, although the caucus results will not dictate how any of them vote.

Paul campaigned in Williston, Dickinson, Jamestown and Bismarck on Sunday and Monday, following rival Rick Santorum's swing through Fargo, on the Minnesota border, and the northwestern oil-country town of Tioga last week.

In Jamestown, about 100 miles east of Bismarck, Paul was critical of the federal government's ban on the cultivation of industrial hemp, a crop that is related to marijuana but does not have its mind-affecting properties.

Industrial hemp is grown in neighboring Canada and other countries, where it is used to make paper, lotions, clothing and biofuels.

North Dakota's Legislature and Agriculture Department have pushed allowing hemp to be grown in the state. A state lawmaker who wanted to cultivate the crop filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against the Drug Enforcement Administration, seeking a declaration that doing so would be legal.

"There is no reason, in a free society, that farmers shouldn't be allowed to raise hemp," Paul said during a Jamestown appearance that drew about 300 people. "Hemp is a good product."

In Bismarck, where the Republican congressman spoke to about 1,200 people Monday night in the gymnasium of a private Christian school, Paul said enforcement of private property rights would be sufficient to protect citizens against pollution, rather than relying on the federal Environmental Protection Agency.

"The more socialized a system is, the worse the property is, and the worse the environment is," Paul said. "We should never be bashful about saying we believe in property rights ... and we don't have to give one inch and say that we're careless with the environment, because you don't have a right to pollute your neighbor's property."

In North Dakota's Republican presidential caucuses in 2008, Paul finished third behind Mitt Romney and John McCain, getting 21 percent of the almost 9,800 votes case.

Duane Sattler, of Richardton, was one of the sign-carrying Paul supporters who attended his Bismarck speech. His son, 13-year-old Shawn Sattler, sat nearby, waving an American flag.

"He's been standing alone a lot of times," Sattler said of Paul. "He votes for our personal freedoms, for sound money, and for less government and less taxes."

He became a Paul supporter during his presidential run in 2008, Sattler said. "I really went and did some research, and the deeper I dug, the more I liked the man," he said. "With the other candidates, the deeper I dug, the less I liked them."
