Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul fires up libertarian-minded Republicans at the annual CPAC conference.

Washington:US Senator Rand Paul, a potential presidential candidate in 2016, said the Republican Party would win more support from young voters by highlighting what he says are violations of privacy by the federal government, including the National Security Agency's surveillance programs.

''It's a message that can grow the party, and the party's got to grow bigger or we're not going to win again,'' Senator Paul, a Kentucky Republican, said on Sunday on Fox News Sunday.

Republicans are looking to improve their showing after President Barack Obama won 60 per cent support among voters younger than 30 in the 2012 elections, according to a national exit poll.

''Young people across the country are fed up with a government that says, 'Hey, the Fourth Amendment doesn't apply to your records, doesn't apply to your cellphone','' Senator Paul said on the Fox program, referring to constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures.

The 51-year-old senator is trying to build on the network of libertarian-leaning supporters that his father, former Representative Ron Paul of Texas, amassed during his 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns. The younger Paul has taken positions on civil liberties, criminal justice and foreign policy that differ from Republican orthodoxy, including his opposition to NSA spy programs.

''Lovers of liberty'' can't always agree with the Republican Party, he said last week at the Conservative Political Action Conference at National Harbor in Maryland.

Lucas Overby, a Libertarian who won nearly 5-percent of the vote in last month's special congressional election in Pinellas County, said he has decided not to run for the seat in the regularly scheduled election this fall.

Republican David Jolly won last month's election with 48.4 percent of the vote, defeating Democrat Alex Sink, who received 46.5 percent. The special election was held in Congressional District 13 after the death of longtime Republican U.S. Rep. C.W. Bill Young.

In a prepared statement, Overby thanked his supporters and his family, and said, "This is far from my last fight and this is not the last time my name will appear on a ballot."
