1/Rand Paul was PA born, TX raised, and groomed to take a Kentuckians job. KY elected Paul to the US Senate in 2011. Before passing a single piece of legislation to benefit Kentuckians, Senator Paul used his position to run for President in 2016. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #Kentucky

2/#Rand Paul pretends to live in Kentucky. The average home 🏡 size in KY is 1,750 sq. ft. He really lives in 6,000 sq. ft. Pittsburgh luxury villa with 6 Bedrooms, 5 baths and a pool. #Paulsnot4KY #Kentucky @winchestersun #fancyfarm

3/Rand Paul was never a Kentucky Wildcat, Cardinal, Hilltopper, or Colonel. Paul paid tuition to be a Duke Blue Devil with Christian Laettner. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #BBN #GoCards @WKUSports #GoBigE #waddy

4/Rand Paul received over $20 million from his family while KY hasn’t kept up the last 10-years. #RandPaul is a Senator from a state that ranks 47th in Poverty (14.9%) and nearly 800,000 Kentuckians report income below the poverty level. #Paulsnot4KY #wvlc #Somerset

5/Rand Paul makes 💰$83.65/hour or 🤑$174,000 to be a Kentucky Senator. Kentuckians average income is 💲$12.81/hour or 💲$26,653/year. Since Senator Paul took office, he’s done a “hit job” on Kentuckians. Paul doesn’t represent poor people! #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #DollarGeneral

6/Kentuckians paid Rand Paul more than $1.7M to represent them over the past decade. After that investment and serving 10 years, Paul has introduced NO bills that became law or drafted language that became part of somebody else’s law. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #WKXO

7/#RandPaul doesn’t help either Kentuckians or anyone else’s constituents. Paul cosponsored the 7th fewest bills compared to all Senators over 10+ years. Kentuckians produce goods and services to earn their paychecks and keep their jobs. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #Hindman

8/Rand Paul missed 211 of 3,625 votes from Jan 2011 to Apr 2022 (5.8%). This is much worse than the records of all other senators. Kentuckians don’t get to skip 2 days/month of work without getting fired. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul @KPFF_IAFF @kystatepolice

9/KY counties make up 10 of the 25 worst places to live in the US.

10/1.2M of #Kentucky 4.5M residents or 27% receive social security. Rand Paul plans to raise the retirement age and make it more difficult for claimants to prove they are disabled. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #BluegrassState #KY
time.com/4168519/rand-p…

11/#Kentucky is the nation’s 42nd poorest state in terms of gross domestic product (GDP). Senator Paul thinks most who suffer from disability and depend on Social Security benefits to make ends meet are faking injuries. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #Whitesburg

12/WalletHub ranked KY #45 in happiness 🙂 based on 31 metrics, including depression, unemployment, engagement, and physical health. Only 5 other states are considered more unhappy than #Kentucky: OK (#46), MS (#47), LA (#48), AR (#49), and WV (#50).

13/Since 2010 #Kentucky has been amongst the most successful states in reducing the uninsured. #RandPaul already gets “free or low-cost care” so voted to repeal Health Insurance (ACA). Health Insurance protects Kentuckians. #TogetherKy @UK_HealthCare #WKYT
senate.gov/legislative/LI…

14/#RandPaul did not vote for the 2021 Women's Health Protection Act. Paul is a Senator from the state of #Kentucky which is 50.8% female and 2.3m of its population. KY’s working women rank as the 5th highest in poverty and need an advocate. #republicanwomensclub #bowlinggreen

15/Sen Paul has a vision to end Medicare. Dr’s better vote their wallets OR know their numbers if they reelect #RandPaul because almost 100% of #Kentucky Docs accept Medicare reimbursement. IF MEDICARE IS NO LONGER A GOVERNMENT PROGRAM, DR’S WILL TAKE A PAY CUT. #KYMA2022

16/In #Kentucky, 1 in ~8 people have diabetes so this disease touches nearly every family. Those 580,000 people spend an average of $5,705/year. Diabetics aren’t #RandPaul kind of people because he voted in August against saving them $440.00/month. #Paulsnot4KY #warrencounty

17/The American Rescue Plan raised child tax credits to $3,600/year and reduced child poverty 40% before expiring. KY has the 4th worst child poverty rate. >20% of KY’s children are starving because #RandPaul WON’T ADVOCATE FOR THE #CHILDTAXCREDIT @clairegalofaro @KYYouth

18/86,000 Kentuckians can’t find jobs. #RandPaul VOTED AGAINST THE INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND JOBS ACT which is bringing over $6.1 billion to KY and creating JOBS-JOBS-JOBS. #Paulsnot4KY #Booneville #Hazard
senate.gov/legislative/LI…

19/#RandPaul loves photos driving a KY-made Corvette. If you belong to a union, why would you re-elect somebody who actively works against your best interests? FACT: Senator Paul doesn’t support collective bargaining, fair benefits, or safe work environments. @aflcioky @UFCW75

20/Dec. 2020, +22,000 Active Duty, +213,000 Ntl. Guard/Reserve, and 1.1M Vets are on food stamps. #RandPaul was 1 of only 7 Republicans to vote “NO” to the National Defense Authorization Act giving our troops a raise and addressing Retiree Benefits.
senate.gov/legislative/LI…

21/#Kentucky is home to nearly 54,000 active duty, National Guard, Reservists and 370,000 Veterans. I wonder if Rand Paul's actions to never help Veterans is because he never served. 🪖 #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul @kentuckyguard #Paintsville

22/ Burn pits emit toxins, which cause brain, throat, lung, and stomach cancers. 34,000 young veterans from KY deserve treatment for cancer should they become ill. August 2022 - SEN. PAUL VOTED AGAINST PROVIDING BENEFITS FOR VETERANS EXPOSED TO BURN PITS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN.

23/#RandPaul opposes subsidies for solar and wind power but in some #Kentucky counties, the average low-to medium-income home spends more than 40 percent of their income on energy. Kentuckians need heat and electricity. #Paulsnot4KY #Ashland #familydollar #CaptAccurateWx

24/#Kentucky has 76,500 farms for chicken, horses, cattle, soybeans, corn, hogs, and dairy worth over $5B/year. #RandPaul votes to trick his own people when they don’t watch because he voted against the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (HR 2). #TeamKentucky #KyAg365 @KYFB

25/#RandPaul voted for a complex plan to reallocate $2.4T of taxpayer money in 2017. Simply put, that cost every US taxpayer $16,638 for which they only received a small share. Every taxpayer must start to repay their portion beginning in 2026. Who will loan you $16k? @wbkicw

26/In 2022, a video resurfaced of #RandPaul teaching students at the University of Louisville saying “misinformation works, so try to trick your opponents.”

27/Senator Paul failed to publicly disclose stock transactions until ~16 months after the law requires. FACT: Feb. 2020, his wife used non-public information illegally to buy stocks of companies that would benefit from the upcoming pandemic. #RandPaul #Newport #Covington

28/Many in #Kentucky own 401k’s, 403b’s, and pensions. It’s a level playing field when everyone has the same information. Potential gains were stolen from those who played by the rules because Senator Paul’s wife cheated at stock trading. #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #Shelbyville

29/Every would-be politician tells Kentuckians what they want to hear to create a hope that isn’t going to come. If #Kentucky wants to turn hope into reality, they will have to do it themselves. #KY has been lied to for decades so it can’t keep doing things the same way. #wymtwx

30/#KY’s last successful state legislation passed in 1990. The Kentucky Education Reform Act moved student literacy from the bottom to 26th. #Kentucky used to be known for big things but wasted 30-years. Who wants to get that back? #kywx #wvxu #wave #wkyt #wbko #wlky

31/#KY continues getting sicker and poorer but keeps re-electing the same politicians. Immigrants, walls, pedophilia, hate, tax and spend themes are designed to make #Kentucky afraid of change because the party of your parents no longer stands for KY. #OwsleyCounty #BeattyvilleKY

32/Rich states don’t need transportation, education, or Medicaid funds unlike #Kentucky Libertarians promote limiting the size and scope of government. It’s as if they found the worst politician in #RandPaul to represent #KY. Make a change because #Paulsnot4KY

33/#RandPaul was born into a country club family and bought a #KY home to build a fake KY life. He’s never gone hungry, tired, sore, blistered, or slept with #Kentucky clay under his fingernails. In his own words, he talks about everything but what will help Kentuckians. #Harlan

34/Every few years, Paul packs suitcases & comes to #Kentucky for an extended visit to campaign for re-election. Paul messes up his hair, wears jeans/khakis, and dirty shoes to look like how he thinks a Kentuckian looks. Then #RandPaul proceeds to tell a story he doesn’t live.

35/Senator Rand Paul only wants to tell Kentuckians what they cannot have, why they aren’t entitled to something, and consistently votes to defund the things #KY people need. #RandPaul has no plans to help the people of #Kentucky because #Paulsnot4KY #Glasgow #Paducah #Pineville

36/You won’t find a cemetery showing #RandPaul ancestors buried in #Kentucky Senator Paul and Kelley Paul don’t own a burial plot in #KY. The Paul’s will forget Kentuckians as fast as they dispose of a restaurant napkin when #KY no longer meets their needs because #Paulsnot4KY

37/Talk is cheap and Senator #RandPaul doesn’t have a plan to help a single Kentuckian. He occupies #Kentucky ’s US Senate seat in order to fulfill his own selfish ambitions and because nobody is holding him accountable to do real work. #Paulsnot4KY #Corbin

38/The #Kentucky Grand Bargain with #RandPaul is they get to keep their freedoms if they accept:
*42nd poorest state with rising costs and increasing taxes from Paul’s schemes
*53% won’t get clean water
*27% will receive trimmed Social Security
*Federal pension benefits capped

39/#Kentucky faces a choice that will directly affect everyone the next 6-years. Vote for the Democrat and you have a 50-60% chance that your life will get better OR, re-elect #RandPaul with a 95% chance your life will keep getting worse. What have you got to lose? #Paulsnot4KY

40/Kentuckians 💯 are strong, independent, resilient, hard-working, compassionate, and many have served. I’ve watched an entire #Kentucky generation surrender to VOTING FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THEIR BEST INTERESTS AT HEART. Make a change! #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul

41/If you are a Kentuckian who wants a better tomorrow, consider this a *humble* ask for a RT🙏 If you love a #Kentucky Republican, I hope you will DM this to your loved one. It’s time Kentuckians voted for a better future because #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul

42/If you are a Kentuckian on Twitter who liked this thread and knows a non-Twitter #Kentucky voter, print this thread and safely put it in their mailbox where they can read. Everyone deserves to know about #RandPaul because #Paulsnot4KY

43/You work your fingers to the bone every day and put in years at a job. When opportunity arrives, the owner's son with no skill or experience gets promoted to the position you earned. #RandPaul is the entitled rich kid who took a hard earned Kentuckians job. #Paulsnot4KY

44/Like Rand Paul, all of us have had jobs where we couldn't do our best work. We found new career paths and so could Rand(y). #RandPaul could always choose to make an honest living like the people he was supposed to represent. #Paulsnot4KY

45/Since being a successful Senator is out of the question, #RandPaul could allow his wife’s investments to support their family. Honest investing would be an upgrade for the Paul's because she wouldn’t be able to trade on non-public insider information anymore. #Paulsnot4KY

46/#RandPaul doesn’t really need to work because he’s heir to $20M. Even if he doesn’t earn income from his fortune, that’s enough money to equal one person's wages in #Kentucky for 750 years. #Election2022 #Paulsnot4KY #LaughingAtUs #LetThemEatCake

47/ #Kentucky never catches a break! #RANDPAUL spent thousands of dollars in donations intended for political activity to attend beach clubs, spas, and travel. #ethics #Election2022
businessinsider.com/rand-paul-lead…

48/#RandPaul will get the Zombie voters because they’re compliant and stopped thinking. #Kentucky should want the honest, hard-working, voter who’s smart enough to realize they lost the last 1⃣1⃣ years with #RandPaul and want a better life because #Paulsnot4KY #crestviewhills

49/#Kentucky Repub’s represent 45% of voters and control 83% of its congressional districts. KY keeps re-electing the same politicians where 45% rules the other 55%. From 2010-2020 the #KY economy grew 11.8% vs. the US economy grew 52.8%. #KY representatives have been failing!

Feel threatened by a loss of rights or unable to make ends meet? VOTING IS NO LONGER AN OPTIONAL ACTIVITY! Until everyone treats voting as essential as paying taxes, those who don’t vote will continue to allow those who do to elect representatives like #RandPaul

50/Want a better life in #Kentucky - VOTE #November
If you live in #KY and are able bodied, then drive others to the polls. When the polls close, don’t let there be a single person left behind because #Paulsnot4KY #RandPaul #Election2022 #Louisville #Lexington #Frankfort

WARNING TO THE AGGRIEVED AND CHEERING VIOLENCE. Mobs eventually splinter and turn on members. Assuming you are fully committed to this hate movement, what will happen to your children or grandchildren if they can’t stay angry enough?
VOTE WISELY BECAUSE IT’S ABOUT THEM TOO
