Rand Paul for President – An Old skipper from London Irish calls & I’m going to New Hampshire

We all knew it was going to happen but today Rand Paul has announced that he is running for President. The Senator is the son of the great Ron Paul (pictured) and being a bit more of a politician than his Dad makes his libertarianism slightly compromised but he is still streets ahead of the field.  In his first campaign email he promises that when he wins he will pledge:

Term limits to get rid of the career politicians.

Require Congress to read legislation before they actually vote on it—read the bills!

Audit the Fed—we deserve to know what's happening with our money.

Pass a balanced budget amendment to the Constitution—no more adding trillions in debt—time to pay it down.

Boldly overhaul the tax code—no more loopholes for the biggest corporations with the best lobbyists—give workers a tax cut.

The last point is great. Libertarians
