Political Quotes

“First, Mr. Speaker, I would say a couple of words about the 10th amendment and those rights that are reserved for the States or to the people respectively. What are the States doing wrong? How is it that the States, that now 31 of them have some type of controlling legislation, another 15 States are taking a look at this, that adds up to 46 States that could potentially have this resolved each in their own fashion, what is the crisis that requires Uncle Sam to step in and ignore the direct guidance in the 10th amendment of the Constitution itself? So I am going to stand on the States' rights side. And if I were in one of these States, and if this legislation were to pass, my response would be to the Federal Government, Keep your money. We don't need these strings attached, because it is one thing after another after another after another. And pretty soon it is a national curriculum with Federal mandates and imposing cultural impositions at the school level in every accredited district in the country.”
