If made law, this provision would purportedly permit state, county, and local governments to decide whether to allow displays of religious text and imagery, but would not interfere with the application of relevant federal law.
  Paul has sponsored a constitutional amendment which would allow students to participate in individual or group prayer in public schools, but would not allow anyone to be forced to pray against their will or allow the state to compose any type of prayer or officially sanction any prayer to be said in schools.
  Freedom of speech
  In 1997, Paul introduced a Constitutional amendment giving states the power to prohibit the destruction of the flag of the United States.

He believes that prohibiting flag burning is a state power, not a federal power.

  He was the only member of the House of Representatives to vote against an anti-spam email bill in 2000, and one of only 5 members of the entire Congress to vote against a subsequent anti-spam email bill in 2003.
