Webb issued the following statement regarding his bid for office:
| “ | I would like to restore individual liberty, reduce the size and scope of government at every level thus removing government from the backs of individuals and businesses.
I am a firm believer in the 10th amendment, States’ Rights. I believe in a small constitutionally limited federal government. Very few powers are granted to the federal government by the Constitution. We should only fund constitutionally granted activities. Every federal overreach should be stopped. Article 1 section 1 only gives law making power to the Congress. This needs to be enforced. All proposed laws and activities should be checked for constitutional permission first. [7] |
