WHO: You! Let’s pack the house with supporters of liberty. RSVP: Attendance is free, but reserve your seat here.   Foreign policy has the potential to bring Republicans and Democrats  together, but often times for the wrong reasons. A major problem with  the foreign policy consensus that has emerged post 9-11 is exactly that  — a consensus. The foreign policies of both Republican and Democratic  administrations have been far more similar than not, while our  decades-long military engagements have come at a staggering cost  with questionable results.  Even so, few leaders from either party have been willing to question or  challenge our current foreign policy status quo. At this lecture, Senator Rand Paul will discuss his vision of a foreign  policy that respects the plain language of our Constitution, the legal  powers of Congress and the important role of a strong presidency. He  will map out a foreign policy of clear and defined missions without  prolonged military engagement The United States has long needed to reexamine its foreign policy,  balancing current and future fiscal realities with the constitutional  duty to protect the nation. Please join Senator Rand Paul as he outlines how a  constitutionally conservative foreign policy would better serve  and protect the United States.
