Gov. Perry: 10th Amendment a Vital Issue for All Texans and Americans

3/9/2011 - AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry today was joined by Texas Rep. Brandon Creighton and State Sen. Dan Patrick, sponsors of House Concurrent Resolution 50 and Senate Concurrent Resolution 14, which assert states' rights under the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

"Our founding fathers very clearly spelled out exactly which powers were enumerated to the federal government and explicitly left the rest to the states. However, Washington has extended its reach over the years until the sound concepts behind the 10th Amendment were blurred and lost," Gov. Perry said. "These resolutions boldly affirm the rights reserved to the states by the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a vital issue that affects the livelihood of all Texans and Americans."
