Ashleigh Kenny | RIP US Constitution T-Shirt
Ashleigh Kenny is a Georgia College student that is making headlines with her t-shirt that reads “RIP US Constitution”.
Ashleigh Kenny presented the t-shirt to Representative Jack Kingston, on the back of the t-shirt there is a quote from Ronald Reagan: “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem”.
However this t-shirt is not about the Obama Health care or a direct attack on something, Ashleigh Kenny explains what her t-shirt means:
“Our government is getting too big. How big can be debated, but the truth is, the government is bigger than the people. Therefore, the constitution is under attack. No matter which way you look at it, it is”
What do you think about Ashleigh Kenny’s RIP US Constitution T-Shirt? Is the US Government becoming more powerful then the people?

I think that Ashleigh has done a great job at stating what many of us feel. The government is getting TOO BIG. Our forefathers came to this country to live in a truly democrate society. One in which the PEOPLE rule, not the Government/King/Queen over all others. The constitution was put in place so that our government would not become TOO big, so that one person would not have TOO much power. It takes people like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Maddison, John Adams and Ashleigh Kenny to stand up and make a difference. Our forefathers did this in way of secret meetings, newsletters, and the Tea Party. Note I said SECRET, because they did not have the FREEDOM to speak their opinion openly. Because of this we do have the FREEDOM to speak openly, now allowing those like Ashleigh Kenny to stand-up and say enough is enough in her own way! WAY TO GO Ashleigh!
