KENTUCKY SEN RAND PAUL NEWSLETTER 05/24/2013

Dear Conservatives,

Please allow me to update you on some of this week's happenings in Washington, DC. Response to President Obama's Drone Speech Following President Obama's speech on drone policy Thursday, I still have concerns over this Administration's definition of due process. While I'm glad the President finally acknowledged that American citizens deserve some form of due process, I am still concerned over whether flash cards and PowerPoint presentations represent due process; my preference would be to try accused U.S. citizens for treason in a court of law.

Paul Defends Apple Against Senate Subcommittee On Tuesday, I attended a Homeland Security and Government Affairs subcommittee hearing that called for executives of Apple to testify on the company's tax practices. In the hearing, I defended the job-creating efforts Apple has made and lambasted my fellow Members for perpetuating a U.S. tax code that hinders corporate growth and productivity. Following my opening statement, which can be found HERE, I had the opportunity to question witness J. Richard Harvey, a tax attorney and professor. Click HERE to watch my exchange with J.
