"That little front facing camera on your laptop or tablet can be a window for the world to see you - whether you know it or not! Stop hackers and the NSA with this simple camera blocker. Safe and practical," the online store says of the product.

Several of the Paul products include visuals of the Constitutionincluding a T-shirt and an iPhone casewhich is a political theme for the son of libertarian icon and former Texas congressman Ron Paul.

"I am running for president to return our country to the principles of liberty and limited government," a quote attributed to Paul says on his sitewhich broke the news the senator would run ahead of his scheduled midday in-person announcement.

The store even offers a $1,000 Paul-autographed Constitution. "It's hard to find a greater defender of the U.S. Constitution in the Halls of Congress than Rand Paul," the item's description says.

But the merchandise goes beyond accessories: Paul's branded clothing is "fashion for a cause," his website says.

"It's easy to be a fashion plate for the world's biggest brands. When you wear the Rand Brand, you look good and stand for something bigger than all of us ... liberty," the site boasts, adding "Thomas Jefferson would be proud."

Such fashion includes a T-shirt proclaiming "Don't Drone Me, Bro!"

Even the payment options take a decidedly contemporary twist for the Kentucky senator's campaign. In addition to credit card and PayPal choices, Paul's website allows supporters to donate in bitcoin (the cryptocurrency boasts a strong following among a subset of libertarians).
