I am not entirely cynical about his requests for donations though. He sends out e-mails on many topics and he is one of the very few politicians/conservative groups that puts substantive info in his mailings. Sometimes things I haven't even seen on FR yet which is almost always the first place I hear about things.
He's solid on pro-life issues, pro-2nd A. issues, anti-UN issues and smaller gov./lower taxes. What makes him different than others is he finds and promotes the most effective private orgs, has frequent petitions and submits meaningful bills on a regular basis.
I have no use for his daddy but Rand seems to be pretty grounded and rather relentless about a range of liberty focused issues. My apologies for the long winded reply.
Not long winded at all. Quite informative, in fact, about Rand (who I’ve always liked, now like even more after reading your post). I’m glad he’s doing something about this, too. IMHO, if he’s that angry about it, then I believe .gov has gone way overboard in its spying on innocent Americans (something I already felt too).
