Hi, my name is Ed Lee. My family moved from California to Nevada because we wanted more freedom to do whatever we wanted with our time and our money. Unfortunately, the federal government is so big and gets involved everywhere. They’re quite good at taking your money with income taxes and regulations. So today I’ll tell you about 3 aspects that I like about Rand Paul being a consistent conservative.

Rand Paul likes to say that he wants a government so small you can barely see it. He starts by lowering income taxes to 14.5% for both individuals and businesses. This gets rid of the payroll tax, loopholes, and a lot of the IRS too. The federal government currently gets $3 trillion in revenue, and that’s more than enough to fund what the federal government should do. He also wants to restrain the government by standing up for the bill of rights, so this means protecting your gun rights, privacy rights, due process, and other civil liberties. Because Rand Paul is a consistent conservative, even if you don’t know the specifics of what he would do for an issue such as Common Core, his approach would be to get the federal government out of it.

As a Senator, Rand Paul has followed through on what he campaigned in Kentucky. On a couple occasions, he filibustered the Senate standing for over 10 hours each time to protect citizens in the US from government drone strikes and government spying. Other “conservative” Senators in the race, if they show up to do their job, are quite liberal in increasing spending especially for military to the amount of $200 billion in additional debt. In contrast, Rand Paul proposed an amendment that not only increases spending to protect our allies but also cuts elsewhere to balance out. Because Rand Paul is a consistent conservative, you can trust him and not worry about him changing positions after he’s elected.

Rand Paul campaigns with the same message in places other Republicans would be too scared to visit such as Berkeley and the South Side of Chicago. He excites people to join the party whether they’re young or black because his message of freedom and liberty is so powerful. Independents also like his message because he’s willing to fight both Democrats and Republicans who are controlled by the elites. For example, the most recent omnibus bill added $700 billion in new debt giving Democrats what they wanted even though Republicans control Congress, and Rand Paul fights this unholy alliance of both sides. Because Rand Paul is a consistent conservative, he’ll be able to bring people together to get the diverse votes needed to win the general election.

I’m supporting Rand Paul because he’s a consistent conservative. He’s consistent on applying conservative solutions to issues. He’s consistent on being conservative when in office. He’s consistent on spreading a conservative message to grow the party and win the election. If you want more freedom and a smaller government, please vote for the only consistent conservative in the race, Rand Paul.
