I spent the past week in Kentucky meeting with constituents across the state. Allow me to update you on some of the things I did.
Celebrating Our Nation's Independence Day
I would like to share with you my message for Independence Day, which I posted on my Facebook page yesterday. You can read it in its entirety HERE (http://ct.symplicity.com/t/pau/727a18c29b983e83ccb4001185b640ec/1401316643/realurl=https:/www.facebook.com/SenatorRandPaul/posts/579928775393263). I hope you were able to celebrate our great nation's birthday with your friends and family, and reminded of all the things that make us proud to be Americans.
I also penned the following column in this week's Washington Times, "Celebrating American independence while abetting tyranny (http://ct.symplicity.com/t/pau/727a18c29b983e83ccb4001185b640ec/1401316643/realurl=http:/www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jul/4/paul-celebrating-american-independence-while-abett/)."
