Ky. lawmakers demand state's rights

On Feb. 24, Rep. David Floyd (R-Bardstown), Rep. Adam Koenig (R-Erlanger) and Rep. David Osborne (R-Prospect) introduced a resolution in the Kentucky State House that would demand the federal government cease mandates beyond the scope of its constitutionally delegated powers; prohibit federal legislation which requires states to comply under threat of penalties or sanctions; prohibit any government or agency from assisting enforcement of laws that violate the Kentucky Bill of Rights.

HCR 172 resolution verbalizes the state's rights already granted by the 10th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution which states:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The fact that legislators feel the need to write such a resolution indicates how far this country has strayed from its founding Constitutional principals.

I wholeheartedly support this bill. Call the Legislative Research Commission hot line at 800-372-7181 and leave a message for your representative to support HCR 172.
