From The 10th Amendment Center – “Aborting Guns?”
rockriverpatriots December 18, 2011
Below is a very good article on State vs. Federal power. This applies to so many issues that are happening today and speaks to why we have an out-of-control federal government. This is also due, in part, to the national media. There is a vested interest by the national news media in having a strong central government. Not only does this increase the “importance” of their coverage, but also allows for easier coverage. Most of the media focus only needs to be spent in one place, Washington D.C, instead of the coverage being spread throughout the 50 State Capitals of our nation. The Framers set up our constitutional republic as a system having the power “decentralized”. Many of the most contentious issues like abortion, I believe, will never be solved on a national level.

Here Is How We Take Back Our Government – The 10th Amendment
rockriverpatriots November 10, 2009
With the passage of the terrible health care bill by Congress, the time to stop the over-reaching Federal Government is now! States need to assert their 10th Amendment rights. Here is a great article from the Campaign for Liberty’s website: Gun Rights and States Rights I hope all State governments have the courage to do what is right. It may mean deep spending cuts and the elimination of non-essential programs, but it will benefit everyone in the future.
