The Lone #RandPaul Vote

Yesterday I participated with both of my parents in Kentucky's first Republican Presidential Caucus.  We had to go to Jackson County about 30 miles away from where we live in Estill County to participate.  While it was an inconvenience, it was exciting.  It would turn out that Donald Trump would win the Kentucky Caucus.  However, one big thing caught my eye!  On an interactive map from WKYT.com I was able to find out that I had cast the only vote for sitting Senator Rand Paul in the entire county.  Out of hundreds that participated, I was the only one to cast a vote for the most principled defender of our US Constitution on the ballot.  Yes Dr. Paul had suspended his presidential campaign in the 24 hours following the Iowa Caucus, but he was the only individual on that ballot deserving of my vote.  I have always believed that standing on your principles meant doing so in successes, in failures, and when you are all alone.  I was truly all alone in voting for Senator Rand Paul.

I am not ashamed of my vote, nor am I going to feel anything but proud of my lone stance.  I have believed in Senator Rand Paul before he was ever elected.  He was the very first politician I ever came across that was genuine, REAL.  He was the first person that didnt promise me things or tell me things I wanted to hear for the sake of a vote.  He was the reason I came to be a strong supporter of the US Constitution and strive for Liberty and Freedom.  He was the reason I evolved from just being a regular Republican.  I stand with Rand Paul.  I will always stand with Rand Paul.  Even when Im Alone, and I just proved it.

Kentucky's First Republican Presidential Caucus on Saturday March 5th

Tomorrow March 5th will be for Kentucky Republicans the opportunity to participate in the state's first ever Presidential Caucus.  Until 2016, Kentucky voters in either party voted for their choice of party nominee for President along with the primary candidates of state and local offices in May.  However thanks to a questionable statute in Kentucky's Constitution and the efforts of Senator Rand Paul to run for both President and seek re-election as US Senator, republican voters of the commonwealth will get the opportunity to have more of a voice in who becomes the National Republican Party nominee for President.  Question many ask is why does this presidential caucus give voters more of a voice?  By the time May comes around, the GOP already has a clear front runner and candidates simply do not bother with coming to Kentucky to campaign.  This election cycle is different.  Having a March caucus allows Kentucky Republicans to have more of an impact on the choice of nominees and candidates have had to come to Kentucky to speak to voters.  Obviously with this being the first ever caucus in Kentucky, there will be problems, there will be issues, questions, misunderstandings, and frustrations.  Take my situation for example.  I live in one of nine counties of the 120 counties that does not have a caucus location.  This is due to my county simply not having a republican party apparatus in place to organize and staff and approve of a location for voters.  I am having to drive to an adjacent Jackson County in order to participate.  Perhaps this will spark individuals in my county to revive the presence of a Republican Party organization in Estill County.  It is my hope that republicans of this Commonwealth will seize this first time opportunity to have an impact on a national election.

Why You Shouldn't Vote For #RandPaul

I thought I would provide a short guide for deciding if you should support and vote for Rand Paul if you are still on the fence about the US Senator from Kentucky.
If you oppose Congress formally declaring war on our enemies as Article I Section 8 of the US Constitution says, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you oppose Republicans reaching out to Democrat strongholds and spreading the value of liberty and constitutional adherence to inner cities and youth, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you oppose Congress actually reading the bills they vote on and allowing the public to read the bills in full before they are actually voted on into law, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you oppose Government allowing you the individual to decide what is best for you to consume and partake in as far as illicit substances are concerned, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you oppose ensuring that our borders are secure, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.
If you oppose efforts to end Domestic Warrant-less spying on American Citizens, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you oppose efforts to end Unconstitutional Indefinite Detention of Americans, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you support Congress giving up more and more of their Constitutional Power to the Executive Branch, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you support special interest groups financially benefiting from the blood of our American Soldiers fighting overseas, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you support continuing to allow non-violent offenders to be kept from voting, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you support mandatory minimums for non violent drug offenses that often are longer than murder and rape offenses, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you support the continued devaluation of our American Dollar through endless Federal Reserve QE's and artificially low interest rates, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

If you support giving up Civil Liberties for Security, then you should not vote for Rand Paul.

As the race to the November 2016 election for President continues, it is becoming clearer by the day who is in the GOP race as a defender of the US Constitution, and who is in it for power and establishment acceptance.  It is becoming clearer who truly has the people's back.  More importantly, with the ever growing presence of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, etc. it is becoming clearer how we have come to the point in our nation with politicians that have become completely disconnected from the US Constitution, and that is because many Americans have become disconnected from the US Constitution.

Hey #FEC, I DARE YOU TO REGULATE ME

I hear that the Democrats want the FEC to start controlling and regulating all sites that post news links and put out political content.  This is not only a gross violation of the first amendment freedom of the press, but also the Freedom of Speech clause in the First Amendment.  This is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.  This is yet more Democrat desperation to attempt to hang on to their tyrannical power in DC.  They love to silence dissent.  They would love nothing more than to have bloggers like me licensed so that they can control my content and revoke my license if they see fit in order to control the flow of information to the masses.  They already have the mainstream media news sources in their control.  But they have no control over the increasing popularity of Alternate or New Media sources such as bloggers/podcasters like myself and that is unacceptable to them.  I welcome them to try to silence me because this Irvine Patriot is never going to conform to their agenda and will always tell the truth regardless to whose political ideology it exposes. 

#GOP Future IS #SenatorRandPaul PERIOD!
