Authority

The tenth amendment has been absolutely trampled by the representatives in Washington, and while they bear responsibility for upholding the Constitution, we are also at fault for being complacent and allowing this travesty. Let's review.....

Ratified 12/15/1791

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, or to the people.

Pretty simple, huh? One sentence defines the job description of the whole federal government. Yet loose interpretations of other amendments have trumped this mandate. Abuse of the commerce clause has allowed Washington to intervene where they were not meant to be. A shameless power grab by those in power that began back in the early 1900's, a turning point in America's history. That abuse has snowballed ever since allowing a perversion of the founding principles. A slow erosion of the teaching of history previous to that era has left our youth more and more ignorant of the ideals our nation was created upon. If your not aware, how can you complain?

We bear a responsibility to our freedom to be informed, and complain loudly when boundaries are crossed. If we continue to remain complacent, we won't enjoy our liberty much longer. As a parent or grandparent, and aunt or an uncle, we need to be sure our youth understands history as it was lived, not the interpretation they are exposed to.

God Bless!
