My great-grandfather, like many, came to this country in search of the American dream.
From Rand Paul
In America, as opposed to the old country, success was based on merit.
My grandfather would live to see his children become doctors and ministers, accounts and professors.
If our freedom is taken, the American dream will wither and die.
And when the time is right, I hope that African Americans will again look to the party of emancipation, civil liberty, and individual freedom.
We must always embrace individual liberty and enforce the constitutional rights of all Americans-rich and poor, immigrant and native, black and white.
We should not have drug laws or a court system that disproportionately punishes the black community.
Using taxes to punish the rich, in reality, punishes everyone because we are all interconnected. High taxes and excessive regulation and massive debt are not working.
What gets lost is that the Republican Party has always been the party of civil rights and voting rights.
Because Republicans believe that the federal government is limited in its function-some have concluded that Republicans are somehow inherently insensitive to minority rights. Nothing could be further from the truth.
