Ashleigh Kenny | RIP US Constitution

Ashleigh Kenny, a student at Valdosta College, is making news today after she posed with Congressman Jack Kingston with a T-Shirt that says “R.I.P The U.S Constitution”.

On the back of the t-shirt there is a quote from Ronald Reagan that says:
“In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem”.

Many people think the t-shirt is an attack on the Obama Health Care plan but Ashleigh Kenny explained what the t-shirt is all about:

Perhaps one’s perception of the shirt depends on his or her perception of our Constitution. Personally, I believe it is a fundamental document that was written to insure that the government never became greater than the people. When I look at today’s society, the government’s control seems to increasingly outweigh the people’s. I cannot help but feel that the Constitution has been theoretically buried. This design isn’t meant to point fingers, it’s meant to stir an awareness of what we are losing. It’s about the power of the government increasing, while the power of the people decreases.
