Price: “These Stolen Powers Must Be Relinquished”

Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement after participating in the public launch of the 10th Amendment Task Force, a project of the RSC. The mission of the task force is to devolve power from Washington and restore the proper constitutional balance of power through liberty-enhancing Federalism.

“The Founders gave us a system of Federalism to ensure that Washington could never amass tyrannical control over the lives of American citizens,” said Congressman Price. “Yet for far too long, the federal government has usurped state and local powers and encroached on our individual liberty. Washington’s unconstitutional attempt to force every single American to purchase health insurance is just the latest example. Under such a flawed interpretation of the Constitution, there would be no limit to the powers of a central government. To right the course of our Republic, these stolen powers must be relinquished and the Constitution obeyed once more. The tide of soft tyranny must be turned back if we hope to remain both the land of the free and a land of opportunity.”
