Tenth Amendment

"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground: That "all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States or to the people." [10th Amendment] To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specifically drawn around the powers of Congress is to take possession of a boundless field of power, no longer susceptible of any definition."
~Thomas Jefferson

Tenth Amendment At A Glance

Randy Brogdon is author of SJR 10, otherwise known as the 10th Amendment  Resolution. This resolution is designed to protect states rights and prevent  the federal government from overexerting its legislative power. His efforts on  the 10th Amendment Initiative have brought him national attention from several  media outlets across the country.

10th AmendmentOur nation's future is at risk.  Washington politicians continue to strip our freedom and privacy away through corporate bailouts, outrageous stimulus schemes, unconstitutional healthcare, Real ID, and out of control debt.  These grievous violations are a result of state leaders shirking their responsibility to protect state sovereignty explained in the Tenth Amendment. 

We can change the course of history and bring restoration to our founding principles by reclaiming state sovereignty through the Tenth Amendment.  Restoration will not happen in Washington DC but by each state reclaiming what is rightfully theirs.  My vision is for Oklahoma, through strong proven leadership, to be a beacon of restoration for the rest of the country.  It can begin in Oklahoma.  It will happen with me as Governor.
