Rand Paul 2010 | U.S. Senate

A message from Rand Paul:

Dear friends,

Thanks to you, we did it.

The road to the United States Senate is a long one, but yesterday we passed our first test.   The Republicans of Kentucky voted overwhelmingly in support of our message of liberty and limited government. It was a reaffirmation of the principles of the Republican party and of the principles upon which our great country was founded.  I can’t tell you how moving it was to see the support of so many Kentuckians for the message we are delivering.

We have now entered a new phase of this battle.  The primary was rough for both candidates, but the general election  is going to be far tougher.   This is going to be an ideological battle like few others in the history of our country. The differences between me and my Democratic opponent could not be greater.

• My opponent will propose a government solution to every problem.   I will counter with personal or free-market solutions to problems.
• My opponent will find it hard to imagine any limits on the power of the federal government.  I will show the reasons this nation must have a limited government for the preservation of liberty.
• My opponent will say that deficits and debt are necessary to provide endless services to the citizens of our country.  I will show them the grave dangers of this debt and its costs today and in the future.
• My opponent will apologize for America and its greatness.   I will show why America is great and what conditions will allow it to continue this greatness.

I know we have all worked hard to get to this point-incredibly hard.  But we must now reach deep within ourselves to find the energy to fight the next phase of this campaign.   Your enthusiasm makes me work harder every day.  I can’t thank you enough for that.   I think you will see another difference between me and my opponent.  I am not fighting just to be a Senator, I am fighting for the ideals that made our country great-for the ideals that changed human history with our nation’s founding.

We must now work to unite our party to move forward together.  I know we can do it.  The deep principles of the Republican party unify us against the opposition-an opposition that has never understood America’s greatness, because it has never understood the root of America’s goodness.

With your continued help, we will march to victory in November-a victory that will ring in America’s renewed commitment to liberty and limited government.

I will never be able to thank you enough for all you have done.

In Liberty,

Rand Paul, MD
