Rand Paul Visiting Facebook and Google on Fundraising Tour

Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky will shake hands with top executives at Facebook, Google and eBay on a fundraising tour through Silicon Valley later this week.

Paul will begin his trip Thursday at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., where he'll take a tour and meet with Facebook higher-ups (no word on whether Zuckerberg will attend). Facebook has played host to conservative lawmakers before, welcoming Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) and House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) back in September 2011.

Paul will then disengage from the tech world for a moment to deliver a speech to the Hoover Institute. He'll then hop back in the Silicon Valley saddle with a visit to Google to meet with executives and answer questions from Google employees from around the world who are sending them in online.
