The rise of political dynasties in America is profoundly disturbing, and must be stopped before it proceeds any further. This country already possesses a destructive, full-time class of professional politicians who have never done anything but hold government positions. Adding heritable positions only makes it exponentially worse.

Dr. Paul has been married to his loving wife, Kelley, for 18 years and has three boys. Rand Paul is a career doctor, not a politician. His entrance into politics is indicative of his life’s work: a desire to diagnose problems, and provide practical solutions.
