Did you hear about the Stand with Rand Money Bomb?
This Wednesday, as you know, I stood for 13 hours filibustering Senate business to defend our Constitution.
I could not just sit on the sidelines and allow the Obama Administration to openly disregard the Constitution by claiming the authority to use drones strikes to kill American citizens on American soil without due process.
Thanks to your support, the Obama Administration caved and finally gave me the answer I was asking for in writing.
You and I and millions of Americans stood together to send a clear message to the Obama Administration: We will not tolerate the trampling of our Constitution!
And today, I'm asking you to stand with me, once again, by signing your Defend the Constitution Petition and contributing to the Stand with Rand Money Bomb going on right now.
You see, the fight to restore liberty in America is far from over!
In fact, several Senators from my own party are defending President Obama and attacking me and those who stood with me, calling us "Wackos!"
This saddens me more than anything. I believe we need more strong men and women in Washington who are willing to fight for the principles you and I hold so dear.
If you agree, then it's time we send the same message to Congress that we sent to the Obama Administration!
Yesterday, I kicked off the Stand with Rand Money Bomb to raise $200,000 by Monday to put Congress in the hot seat.
That's why it's vital that you sign your Defend the Constitution Petition and donate to the Stand with Rand Money Bomb TODAY!
I will continue to stand up and fight for the Constitution, but I need you to stand with me TODAY.
Thank you for all that you do.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul
P.S. You and I forced the Obama Administration to respect the Constitution, but now we must insist Congress do the same.

from Senator Rand
My 13-hour filibuster yesterday is being called one of the longest in U.S. history.
I had been trying for more than a week to get a straight answer on whether or not the Obama administration believed it had the authority to use drones to target and kill American citizens on American soil - without due process.
And after receiving a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder claiming they DO have that authority, I could no longer sit silently at my desk in the U.S. Senate.
So I stood for thirteen-straight hours to send a message to the Obama administration, I will do everything in my power to fight their attempts to ignore the Constitution!
Millions of Americans chose to stand with me and put President Obama, Attorney General Holder, and Congress in the spotlight...
And the good news is, it worked!
Just hours ago, I received a letter from Attorney General Holder declaring the President DOES NOT have the authority to use drones to kill Americans on U.S. soil.
Amanda, this shows what we can do when stand together and fight.
So won't you help me continue the fight to protect our Constitutional liberties today?
You see, this battle is far from over.
Today, our country is mired in $16.6 TRILLION in national debt. Unemployment is sky high. Assaults on our liberties from Congress are commonplace.
As the support I received during my filibuster yesterday showed, I'm hardly alone in Congress fighting back against this madness.
Yet instead of joining me in the fight to save our fragile republic, some even in my own party are resorting to attacking me!
They're defending the President and saying my question on whether or not the Obama administration believes it can kill Americans on American soil without due process "doesn't deserve an answer!"
Why don't the Washington, D.C. career politicians see the damage they're doing to our country?
Why are they quick to accept a dinner with Obama - and quick to strike a smoky backroom "deal" to grow government - but slow to listen to the millions of Americans all over the country who want their representatives in Washington, D.C. to fight for the limited government, constitutional principles you and I care so deeply about?
Is this the future you and I want for our Republican party or our country?
If you're anything like me, the answer to that question is a wholehearted "NO!"

Senator Paul just kicked off hour five of his filibuster!
The national media can't help but take notice!
In fact, the Drudge Report is calling Senator Paul's takeover of the Senate floor a "Randpage!"
Amanda, it's never been more important you stand with Senator Paul as he filibusters John Brennan's nomination as Director of the CIA in response to Attorney General Eric Holder's radical new claims.
As you know, Eric Holder has asserted the authority to use drone strikes to kill American citizens on American soil without due process and zero judicial oversight!
This can't be allowed to stand.
The good news is, the action from folks like you is making a tremendous difference!
Senators Cruz and Lee have now joined in support of the filibuster.

Drones Meant to Strike Us...On OUR Very Own Soil?!?!
from Senator Rand
I've just launched a floor takeover of the U.S. Senate.
My colleagues may want to believe everything is "business as usual" even after yesterday's news. But they're in for something else entirely.
Click on CSPAN if you'd like to watch...
But first, please realize it's never been more important you to stand with me today.
I'm going on a one-man filibuster to stop John Brennan's nomination to the CIA and the RADICAL new claim I received from Attorney General Eric Holder yesterday afternoon...
By now, you've probably heard that Eric Holder finally answered my question saying that President Obama CAN legally order drone strikes– killing American citizens on American soil – at will.
That's without any due process. That's without any judicial oversight.
This cannot be allowed to stand.
When I read Attorney General Holder's letter, I could hardly believe what I was reading.
Isn't government claiming the authority to assassinate its own citizens on its own soil something you hear about in Third World dictatorships?
Has our Republic really sunk this far?
Will Americans see our skies filled with government drones outfitted with missiles meant for us?
Already, domestic spy drones are being outfitted with the ability to track cell phones and detect if law-abiding citizens are carrying firearms.
This is outrageous.
