Rand Paul is the latest Republican to tell his party to open up to a wider range of views within its ranks.

"The party can be big enough to allow people who don't all agree on every issue," Senator Paul told an audience in California, a state that produced three Republican presidents in the 20th century but now votes reliably Democratic.

"When the Republican Party looks like the rest of America, we'll win again," he said.

"It's not going to change who I am or what I talk about but I think we can be a big enough party to include people," Paul said at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., Friday evening.

In his Friday talk, Paul sought to define himself, among other things, as a Republican who cares about the environment.

Does the Democrat Party "look like America"?

I am thankful every day I left that life, long ago.

I stuffed a lot of years of alcohol and drug taking into about 7 years.

I feel thankful I survived. Very thankful.
