Andy fights each day in Nashville as our State Representative to ensure that the Tennessee State Constitution and the United States Constitution form the foundation of our government. Andy believes deeply in the rule of law, not men, which is why he fights to ensure our Constitutions are protected from those who wish to harm them. Andy has ensured that Tennessee is protected from a lawless, disobedient, burdensome and unconstitutional federal government. Thomas Jefferson once said that the Tenth Amendment was the "backbone of the Constitution", and that it ensured the State's power to keep the federal government in check when it no longer acted within its legally delegated authority. To fight back against Obamacare, the NSA, Obama's attempt to take our firearms, the EPA and more, Andy has made the Tenth Amendment the backbone of many pieces of his legislation.
