Ashleigh Kenny RIP US Constitution
Valdosta college student Ashleigh Kenny is causing quite a controversy not only in Georgia but across the nation with a t-shirt that she designed and is selling. The shirt front reads “R.I.P. The U.S. Constitution.” On the back is a Ronald Reagan quote, “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem”
The 21-year-old hopes to spread awareness with the sale of the shirts. She said, “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.”
She hopes to make a difference with the message, and she invites others of her generation. She wants her peers to throw on a t-shirt, walk around, and spread the word. She got national recognition when she appeared on the Bill Maher Show on HBO.
Rep. Jack Kingston (R-GA) posed with Kenny and the t-shirt at a health care town hall meeting last week. He seems particularly pleased with the sentiment. After taking a great deal of flak over his posting of the photo on his Flickr account, he defended himself and said he was simply trying to help inspire a young activist who had approached him.
