Rand Paul is now, officially, running for Senate. +1 for the liberty movement.

Press Release:

BOWLING GREEN, Ky.

Rand Paul, Bowling Green Eye Surgeon and son of former Republican
presidential candidate Ron Paul, today announces he is officially in the
race for the US Senate representing Kentucky. Dr. Paul will now transition
his exploratory committee to a full election committee.

Dr. Paul has been respectful of incumbent Senator Bunning’s courage in
opposing the bank bailout. Dr. Paul waited for Senator Bunning’s difficult
decision not to run for re-election before entering the race.

“I think the main thing that motivates me to run for office is the debt
fueled by Washington’s out of control spending. I think we’re drowning in a
sea of debt, as a country. The deficit this year will be 13% of the GNP.
This is a historic high. The danger is going to be inflation within a year
or two, and prices may rise rapidly.”

Dr. Paul’s commitment to fiscal responsibility is nothing new. For the past
fifteen years, Dr. Paul has been the chairman of the Kentucky Taxpayers
United, a group that monitors and rates the State Legislature on spending
issues.

Rand Paul’s entry into this race will nationalize the Kentucky US Senate
campaign. This can be witnessed by his television and radio appearances
scheduled in New York City on August 6th and 7th — finally giving hope of
representation to liberty-minded and fiscally conservative Kentuckians.

In Liberty,
