I wanted to take a few moments to thank you for all the "Stop the Filibuster" petitions you signed and phone calls you made for RandPAC throughout the past few weeks.
The filibuster fight was an important battle, and you stepped up when you were needed the most.
Harry Reid was determined to destroy the filibuster and make it easy to ram through anti-liberty legislation. For a while, it seemed he might get away with it.
Your actions stopped him and stiffened the spine of some Republicans who were too eager to make a deal.
But in the end, Harry Reid did get some more power.
I could tell you exactly what the new rules mean to us but frankly Senate rules are so arcane that my staff and I suspect Harry Reid doesn't completely understand what he just did -- and may have unintentionally opened up some new opportunities to block his agenda.
The bottom line is: Harry Reid succeeded in taking away some of our ability to resist their agenda and slow things down, but it could've been much worse!
Your faxed petitions, phone calls, and emails to your Senators prevented Harry Reid from getting everything he wanted.
Offices around Capitol Hill were reporting thousands of phone calls, faxed petitions, and emails in opposition to Harry Reid's scheme!
Make no mistake - your efforts made a difference in this fight.
The good news is - there may be some opportunities in the "new rules" we can use to our advantage.
The filibuster battle may be over, but the war to reclaim our country is not.
I came to Washington D.C. two years ago to fight on the front lines, and there is nothing better than knowing that you are willing to stand right there beside me.
I write to you now to promise you this: I'm going to do everything in my power and use every trick in the book to continue to fight Reid and Obama's Big Government agenda.
And as far as you are concerned - you made them take notice.
In Liberty,
Senator Rand Paul
P.S. Please donate $100, $50, or $25 to help RandPAC continue the fight to reclaim OUR country.
