"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."-The Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution

For decades we have seen States' Rights taken away by our Federal Government. Light bulbs, EPA mandated low-flow flush toilets, and gun-rights are examples of what is not within the powers decreed in the Constitution. Reasserting our State's rights and standing up for Colorado is what we expect of our representatives.
