Mr. Paul,
Given your numerous instances of apparent plagiarism I feel like you can no longer effectively serve the people of Kentucky. In your never-ending criticism of the democrats, you have held yourself up as a moral leader. Please prove your moral leadership by resigning. Since the voters in your party will support you no matter what you do, it falls upon your shoulders to accept responsibility for what you have done and resign. Had a democrat got caught doing the same thing, you would have spoken out against him with indignant rage. This is the part that creeps us out.
The following is quoted from the Washington Post
"1. BuzzFeed’s Andrew Kaczynski reported that Paul had also lifted language from Wikipedia while discussing the movie “Stand and Deliver” in a June 2012 speech.
2. Politico’s Alexander Burns reported that Paul, in a 2013 response to President Obama’s State of the Union address, used language that was exactly the same as a 2011 Associated Press report. And in a speech at Howard University earlier this year, Paul used language similar to the conservative Christian group Focus on the Family while discussing vouchers.
3. Kazcynski reported Saturday that three pages of Paul’s recently published book (more than 1,300 words) borrowed heavily from a 2003 study by the conservative Heritage Foundation, along with another example involving the Cato Institute."
