Rand Paul Campaign Statement on Tonight's CNN Reagan Library Republican Presidential Debate

Rand Paul Stands Out With Common Sense Foreign Policy and Bold Tax Plan

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Tonight Senator Rand Paul stood out as the only Republican promoting a common sense foreign policy as well as the boldest and most detailed tax plan.  A strong Constitutional Conservative, Sen. Paul understands war should not be the first option-and it certainly wasn't Ronald Reagan's approach to our defense.   

Sen. Paul also pushed for bold conservative reform of our broken tax code with his fair and flat tax of 14.5 percent that's simple, fair, and cuts taxes for every single American.

Rand Paul was the only candidate on stage who stood for personal freedom and getting the government out of our lives--that liberty means to live life as you see it, with your family, without interference from the government.  Republicans have always embodied smaller government-that the government that governs least, governs best.  It's this America that Rand Paul is fighting to bring back, and it's a message that is resonating around the country.
