Congressman Tom Price (R-GA) issued the following statement on Constitution Day, which honors the signing of the United States Constitution on September 17, 1787.

“For more than two centuries, the United States Constitution has been the bedrock of freedom and liberty in America,” said Chairman Price. “The Founders wrote the Constitution to specifically limit the powers of the federal government, with every citizen free to achieve and prosper on their own accord. Constitution Day is a celebration of freedom, but this year it is also a sobering reminder of the federal government’s tendency to expand its reach and overstep its bounds. Americans across the country have made a renewed commitment to limited, constitutional government, and I fervently hope this same commitment will once again take root in the hearts of our elected officials.”
