We along with the people of this Great Nation have been trampled by repeated abuses of the Constitution as the Congress of the United States has usurped power from this good people without the consent of the people through it's written constitution. Any decent man should detest any Government that usurps powers not granted to it by the people. I love this Great Nation, and I love this great State, regardless of where we stand on Politics or Role of Government can't we agree on Constitutional Government, and retain the ideal that the Government derives it's power by the consent of the Governed (through a written Constitution). I hold to that reality and believe personally that we need to keep Government as close to the people as we can and only let the Federal Goverment do those things which can't reasonably be done by State and Local Goverment's.

The constitution, provides plenty of problems, not only to the Federal Stimulus money but to the educational system as well. We have to make 16% budget cuts this next year alone, in one district. This all because the senate and house represenatives won't push away their conservative views and threshold on Idaho. We should make an amendment to the law that states we can't go into debt, has created more issues then any other law in Idaho right now. Too many people are concerned with hunting wolves instead of our education and the people who are here teaching. They now face salary cuts and our issues run deeper with our current economic failure.

The reason given for his opposition to Kren’s emission legislation is he didn't want the Federal Government’s EPA team to come into Idaho and impose stricter emission law. For a proponent of state rights that comment is inconsistent with his support of these resolutions. Our governor who supports these non binding resolutions is the same governor that doesn’t act. These resolutions are a bunch of rhetoric. I’m sure many in the legislature agree something should be done about the Fed’s violations but when it comes down to it, when you have a Governor that doesn’t want to “poke the tiger” it ceases to have any teeth, e.g. the emissions bill.

It is about time someone takes some positive action to keep the tentacles of the federal government from choking the life blood from our country. The current powers that are in place in Wash. DC are poised to make even more intrusive inroads into every value we ever held dear. This proposal by the Governor will be a appreciated step to preserve states rights and be a beginning that will slow the big government takeover that is the fourndation of the current administration. Amending the constitution is a long and difficult fight. Not only because the the US Congress is full of Democrats, but we also need 2/3rds of the state governments to agree to passage. That is a long and difficult road but it starts with the first step. fsc Good for Butch !!!
