Issue Position: States Rights vs. Your Rights

Issue Position

Individual and state sovereignty must be protected. We are entering an era where the folly of abandoning state sovereignty is becoming apparent. The tenth amendment is key to restoration. Little is to be gained, however, if we do not see that the ninth amendment and individual rights and sovereignty appropriately precedes and pre-empts the tenth amendment. Governments are instituted among men to protect these rights, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. (Declaration of Independence) This must never be forgotten by either government or the people. The Governor on behalf of our people must be able to say no, not in our state (and be willing to back it up) to all federal and state encroachments.
