Rand PaulLast week Senator Rand Paul joined the Grassroots Club (GRC) as a special guest on a tele-townhall held exclusively for GRC members. 250 GRC members participated in the call to hear Senator Paul give us an update on his work in Washington to oppose the most current budget compromise. The senator told the group that he voted against the budget because it does nothing useful to head of bankruptcy of the country. The Senator then took questions from GRC members on a variety of topics including party unity, the future of the Republican Party and veterans’ benefits.

Chairman Munisteri thanked Senator Paul for his support of the Republican Party of Texas and the GRC: “I sincerely appreciate Senator Paul’s time to visit with members of the Grassroots Club. It’s nice that the Senator from Texas has not forgotten about his strong Texas roots, where he first got involved in politics through his family and with the Young Conservatives of Texas. It’s particularly appreciated that Senator Paul recognizes the importance of the Grassroots Club to help sustain the revenue needed to run an effective Republican Party in Texas.”

Dr. Rand Paul is the junior United States Senator for Kentucky. Elected in 2010, he has proven to be an outspoken champion for constitutional liberties and fiscal responsibility, and a warrior against government overreach. Among his first legislative proposals: cutting $500 billion in federal spending and a plan to balance the federal budget in just five years. He has since introduced similar bills with growing support. In the Senate, Rand serves on the Foreign Relations, Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, Homeland Security and Government Affairs, and Small Business Committees.

The Grassroots Clubs is the RPT’s sustaining membership club. For only $8.25/month, or $99/year, members support the RPT by helping to cover administrative expenses, allowing more of our major donor money to directly support candidates. In exchange, GRC members are removed from RPT direct marketing efforts, which means no phone calls or fundraising mail. As an added benefit, members are invited to exclusive GRC events, such as last weeks call with sen Paul and members only events at state convention. To join the GRC, pleaseĀ click here.
