2014 March for Life Senator Rand Paul Press Release
Sen. Rand Paul today issued the following statement honoring the annual March for Life: "Since the Roe v. Wade decision in 1973, 55 million abortions have taken place in America. The question remains, can a civilization long endure if it does not respect Life? It is the government's duty to protect life, liberty, and property, but primarily and most importantly, a government must protect Life," Sen. Paul said. "In order to protect the unborn from the very moment Life begins, I introduced the Life at Conception Act. Today, our nation wavers and our moral compass is adrift. Only when America chooses, remembers and restores her respect for life will we re-discover our moral bearings and truly find our way."

Feds say duskytail darter will keep Lake Cumberland from being filled Senator Rand Paul Press Release
Rand Paul today issued the following statement in reaction to the Army Corps of Engineers' announcement that the presence of the duskytail darter in the headwaters of Lake Cumberland might keep the lake from rising to its traditional level: "Kentuckians are being asked to suffer through yet another absurd ordeal at the hands of the federal government. Lake Cumberland businesses, families and visitors have waited seven years for a return to normalcy, and federal agencies are now saying we'll probably have to wait even longer. Any delay is obnoxious and I would hope federal authorities would recognize the negative impact."
"I have introduced legislation that would let us avoid problems like these altogether. The Endangered Species Management Self-Determination Act would give Kentucky the power to regulate all of our endangered species and also give Congress the ability to review the process of naming endangered species."
Sens. Paul, Dean Heller (R-Nev.) and Rep. Mark Amodei (R-Nev.) introduced the Endangered Species Management Self-Determination Act in Nov. 2013.

Senators Ron Johnson and Tammy Baldwin (WI) today announced a friendly wager with Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul of Kentucky on the outcome of Saturday's Wisconsin Badgers game in the NCAA basketball Final Four against the University of Kentucky Wildcats. The stakes are a selection of Wisconsin bratwurst and cheese against Kentucky Derby-PieĀ® from Kern's Kitchen in Louisville. Sen. Johnson said, "Senator Baldwin and I will enjoy eating some pie for dessert as we celebrate a Badger victory over the Kentucky Wildcats." "I never imagined that Bucky Badger would bring me together with Senators Johnson, Paul and McConnell," said Sen. Baldwin. "I look forward to enjoying some Kentucky Derby-PieĀ® when the Badgers win, but I it's a shame that Mitch and Rand won't get a taste of our famous Made in Wisconsin brats and cheese. Maybe if they do 'The Bucky' dance after our victory, we will reconsider." "Sen. Paul and I look forward to tasting Wisconsin brats and cheese, courtesy of Senators Johnson and Baldwin, as desserts following UK's victory over the University of Wisconsin on Saturday," Senator McConnell said. "There is no disputing that the Commonwealth of Kentucky is the college basketball capital of the world and Sen. Paul and I are proud to watch the Wildcats continue their NCAA tournament run." "The Cats are on a roll and Big Blue Nation can't wait to celebrate another win this Saturday. I know I will enjoy Kentucky's victory even more by celebrating with Wisconsin brats and cheese. Fear the tweak, Ron and Tammy," Sen. Paul said.
