Publisher's Synopsis
Since being elected to the US Senate in 2010, Rand Paul has been in the forefront of a number of debates and has drafted legislation investigating government wrongs that are regularly being perpetrated against ordinary citizens through misuse and abuse of power. In this book he discusses the many outrageous searches, seizures and arrests that are being unconstitutionally brought upon good, honest tax-paying citizens due to out-of-control government regulations.
GOVERNMENT BULLIES is a book with many stories to tell-stories that are hard to believe. It's taking a U.S. Senator to use the power of his office to show all of us the insanity that is taking place in this country: mothers are being arrested for buying raw milk; farmers are being arrested for moving dirt on their own land-for moving dirt! The Gibson guitar company was raided by armed Federal Marshalls and the factory was shut down for using ebony that was purchased from Madagascar to be used in the crafting of their guitars; a family was fined $90,000 by the USDA for selling bunnies without a license!
This is our United States of America running amok because thousands upon thousands of regulations have been added to the books since Obama took office and nobody is regulating the regulators. The America people are struggling enough during this financial crisis-and adding this kind of unconstitutional abuse to law-abiding citizens is a travesty-one that Senator Paul intends to stop.
