The government was never supposed to grow so large that it could trample on the liberties of American citizens. The Tenth Amendment to the Constitution states clearly and unambiguously: ‘The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution…are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’ In other words, if the Constitution doesn’t specifically permit the federal government to do something, then it doesn’t have the right to do it.

I’ve had some experience in farming myself. I was raised a good part of my life on a farm. I’ve cleaned out hog lots. I’ve planted. I’ve harvested. I’ve taken up hay all day in the sun, and then after a short dinner break help neighbors take it up by moonlight before the rain came. I’ve helped deliver calves with my bare hands. Agritalk with Ken Root, 3/20/99Bob Carter, 72, can buy the hay harvest, but delivering calves with bare hands he isn’t so sure about. Mr. Carter says he grew up on a dairy farm in Montgomery County [Md.], back before subdivisions even appeared in the blueprints. While his milking days are over, his heart is still with the cows. And calves. ‘This proves again that Mr. Gore probably doesn’t know anything about it,’ says the former dairy farmer. ‘Because one thing you do when a cow is having a calf is you don’t touch anything, you just let them handle things in a natural way like a cow can do.’ Al Gore
