Rand Paul, the influential American senator and physician, has been a leading voice for limited government, individual liberty, and fiscal responsibility in Congress. Known for his principled stance on issues such as healthcare reform, criminal justice reform, and civil liberties, Paul's commitment to constitutional principles and his willingness to challenge the status quo have earned him a reputation as a principled advocate for smaller government and greater personal freedom.
"You know, when Republicans were in charge, we doubled the debt. But, now, our concern is the Democrats are in charge and they're tripling the debt. So, really, our concern is that we want smaller government."

"I have a message from the Tea Party, a message that is loud and clear and does not mince words. We've come to take our government back."
"The problem is that in our country, they make it almost impossible for politicians to win anything. In England it's easier to win a libel suit."
"What I've always said is that I'm opposed to institutional racism, and I would've, had I've been alive at the time, I think, had the courage to march with Martin Luther King to overturn institutional racism, and I see no place in our society for institutional racism."
