RIP US Constitution TShirt- Here is the picture of Ashleigh Kenny and Congressman Jack Kingson posing with the now famous RIP US Constitution Tshirt.

Ashleigh Kenny with RIP US Constitution Tshirt

The RIP US Constitution Tshirt was given to the congressman by Ashleigh Kenny, a student at Valdosta State University in South Georgia.

The back of the RIP The US Constitution t-shirt, there is a quote by Ronald Reagan, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”

Here is Ashleigh Kenny’s reply after she has got so much attention (both for and against) her presentation of the RIP The US Constitution Tshirt.

I realize that some controversy has resulted from the blog posting a picture of Congressman Kingston and me, where I presented him a t-shirt that said “R.I.P. The U.S. Constitution”

What those who seek to smear me don’t know, or take the time to find out, is that the back of the shirt is adorned with the words of President Ronald Reagan: “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.”

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.

This shirt is not meant to stir debate regarding which administration did the most to slaughter our Constitution. While we cannot change the past, we do have the present in our hands, right now. This is where change begins.

I must say, in a time where political scandal consists of perjury, adultery, embezzlement…etc., to be caught standing next to a college kid accepting a pro-liberty t-shirt really doesn’t sound so bad. Maybe that’s just me.

What do you think? Is the constitution all but buried these days? Would you wear this RIP US Constitution TShirt?
