A big kudos and thank you goes out to Pennsylvania State Representative Samuel E. Rohrer, who has signed our 10-4 Pledge for the Constitution.
He’s been out in the forefront of the 10th Amendment movement for some time now. He authored Pennsylvania’s sovereignty resolution, HR95, and hosted a rally in its support. (video here)
And just this month, he’s also working on the “next step” – nullifying specific federal laws. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes to garner 48 co-sponsors before introducing the Pennsylvania Firearms Freedom Act.
Here’s a few choice quotes from him:
“The quiet consolidation of power by the federal government is a threat to all citizens, because too much power in too few hands ends in tyranny. The days of federal politicians taking credit for bold initiatives while silently shifting the costs to state treasuries must come to an end.”
“As time goes on, the federal government has become more involved in areas where it has no constitutional authority to do so. We’re at a breaking point. If states don’t start to push back and hold federal politicians accountable under the Constitution, we could very easily lose the republic that our Founding Fathers fought so hard to create.”
We expect many more great things from Rep. Rohrer. Please support him in his work!
There is a natural law principle called “The Principle of Subsidiarity” that states that nothing should be done by a larger and more complex organization which can be done as well by a simpler and smaller organization.
To violate this principle is a criminal act.
One ought to consider this when it comes to the relations between the federal government and the sovereign states and the 10th Amendment.
I hope he considers running for governor or lt. governor.
