Why are State Rights so important? Because almost all of
Florida’s problems come from Washington doing things that the
Constitution never said it was allowed to do. The 10th
Amendment states that Washington has no right to do anything
more than what the Constitution specified. Any job, any
authority, any power beyond this is the responsiblity and the
right of the individual States and of it’s people.
In short Washington is prohibited from expanding it’s power.
Rights belonging to Florida cannot be taken from her by the
Federal Government.
Federal issues like “health care”, “cap and trade” and “TARP
bailouts” deal with Constitutional authority that belongs to the
States. Therefore these are Florida issues. which are hurting
Floridians. Florida government needs to stand up for their rights
that they may protect their citizens.
By asserting our rights as a State, we can challenge actions of
the federal government that adversely affect Florida. Should
money, taken from Florida citizens, be used to rescue California
from its self-made, $42 billion debt? Despite California's
massive indebtedness, California state legislators receive
salaries that are four times those of Florida state legislators. So
California continues its deficit spending while Florida makes
sacrifices to balance her budget. And all along, California
legislators pocket their fat paychecks, funded partially by the
taxpayers of Florida.
By asserting our rights as a State, we can implement health care
reform immediately. Texas has already lowered medical costs
simply by instituting its own, tort-reform legislation. Florida
can follow the successful example of Texas and lower medical
costs without any federal involvement or interference. Why
shouldn't Florida spearhead its own health care reforms?
By asserting our rights as a State, we can shield Florida from
federal legislation that will rob parents of their right to
determine whether or not, and how often, their children shall
attend church and/or synagogue. How can Florida remain silent
while the “U.N. Rights of Child Treaty” is gaining support in
Congress? This legislation, in fact, is not a “treaty” at all; it has
been labeled a "treaty" in a thinly-vieled attempt to give it the
same status and authority as federal legislation. (See Article VI
of the Constitution.) If you send me to Tallahassee, I will
initiate and support legislation to protect us from this usurpation
of State and individual rights.
It is time for Florida to assert her Constitutional rights! Florida,
the government that has term limits. Florida, the government
with a balanced budget. Florida, the government with no
income tax. Really now, is Washington doing a better job than
us? Let’s stand firm against Washington taking any power
greater than the Constitution grants it. Send me to Tallahasse,
and I will be Florida's champion of Tenth Amendment Rights!

Florida did not
create this
recession. This
recession is the result of an
over-reaching federal
government that has
unconstitutionally assumed
rights "reserved to the States."
Although no state caused the
recession, much can be done at
the state level to correct it.
States must become champions
of guarding and reclaiming
their Constitutional, Tenth
Amendment rights. Relying on
Congress to protect States'
Rights is like depending on a
fox to guard a hen house.

There are more instances
