About this ebook

Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky takes an in-depth look at the legislation that is trampling the rights of ordinary citizens and charts a way out of this mess.

Government regulations are out of control. They determine how hot the water needs to be in your washing machine, and how many miles to the gallon your car must achieve. Since the Patriot Act, your banking records, your gun registration, and your phone bill are easily accessible by government snoops. Mothers are arrested for buying raw milk. Families are fined for selling bunny rabbits without a license. Home and property owners are strapped with obscene fines, entangled in costly legal messes, and sent to federal prison, all for moving dirt from one end of their land to another. Unelected bureaucrats, armed with arbitrary rules and no need to back them up, stonewall and attack American citizens at every turn. The damage can be overwhelmingly taxing—financially, emotionally and even physically.

These stories are of everyday Americans badgered and harassed by their own government—the very institution that is supposed to serve us all. This gross breach of our constitution is as frightening as it is real, and Government Bullies is a call to action against it.

Ratings and reviews

I've learned a lot since reading this book the first time, and have reread the book. it's pretty much all garbage spin. I shake my head because I used to believed this garbage.

What a load of hypocrisy! Is it not "government bullying" to take away a woman's right to choose? He twists the facts to make untruth sound like valid reality. ugh!

Rand Paul is an absolutely ohenkninsl person and presidential hopeful. His books, his legacy and his appreciation for the Constitution make him one of my absolute favorite individuals who have EVER RUN FOR AN OFFICE!!!
