The 5 most Rand Paul items you can buy at the Rand Paul online store
Everyone’s favorite more-or-less Libertarian is now officially the second contender to enter the 2016 race for the Republican presidential ticket. And what better way to throw your support behind the Kentucky Senator than by buying some swag? But these aren't your ordinary pins, posters, and crew-neck tees. No, the Rand Paul online store offers apparel and accessories distinctly suited to the freedom fighter in your life. If you're too busy defeating the Washington machine, here's a brief guide to the Randiest items up for sale:
1. NSA Spy cam blocker: An awfully small price to pay for the satisfaction of telling the government that it's none of its damn business what you do on your laptop.
2. Autographed constitution: Second only to the Founding Fathers' signatures, Paul's autograph elevates this handsome constitution to National Treasure. Go on, fill that empty pocket with the hard-won truths of this nation.
