Senator Rand Paul announces 2016 White House bid, touts ‘message of liberty’

By Dylan - Apr 7, 2015

Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, declaring “we have come to take our country back,” formally announced his candidacy Tuesday for the Republican nomination for president.

“Today I am announcing, with God’s help and with liberty lovers everywhere, that I am putting myself forward as a candidate for president of the United States,” the 52-year-old Paul said at his “Stand for Rand” rally in Louisville, a few hours after making the announcement on RandPaul.com.
Paul was introduced by wife Kelley Ashby Paul, who said of her husband: “You are brave. You inspire others.” In a fiery speech tapping into America’s frustration with Beltway politics, the senator said he worries “opportunity and hope are slipping away for our sons and daughters,” and said: “It seems to me that both parties and the entire political system are to blame.”
