- "Our roads and bridges have been overlooked for far too long here in Mississippi. If we are going to compete in the coming decades, it is time to invest in our much needed infrastructure upgrades. Infrastructure in our community is the number one item potential businesses look at when looking for an area to relocate or expand. It is also the number one item tourist to our state remember." (flowersforcongress.com)
- "It may surprise some readers to discover that the Constitution prohibits infrastructure spending by the federal government. In fact, when polled, most voters believe that spending money on infrastructure is precisely what Congress should be doing, but there are many good reasons why infrastructure spending is a reserved power of the States. For one, why should taxpayers in Mississippi pay for a road project in New York, or vice versa? For another, abusing the Constitution for any reason, even to build roads and bridges, sets evil precedents that ultimately lead to tyranny, like we are experiencing in America right now." (flowersforcongress.com)
- "No one denies that infrastructure is important to our modern civilization, but infrastructure development, as most people think of it, is not within the jurisdiction of the federal government except (maybe) in federal territory laying outside State borders. By and large, infrastructure development is a State, local matter, and private matter this is plainly evident to anyone who reading the U.S. Constitution and thinking in an unbiased manner."

- "Inflation is created when the federal government expands the supply of dollars in circulation, which it has been doing for decades and more than ever in the last few years. The greatest cause of inflation is the enormous cost of un-Constitutional federal programs. As Patriotic Congressmen, with the support of the American people, gradually return the federal government to its true constitutional limits, inflation will diminish, the buying power of your dollars will be protected, and the economy will stabilize. Coupled with other constitutional acts that will expand American industry and foster competition, the buying power of your dollars could actually increase!" (flowersforcongress.com)

- "Voting is a matter within the jurisdiction of the several States, but Congress has the Constitutional power to investigate foreign entities that pose a threat to the several States either subversively or militarily. The people of the States must work to ensure that their election processes are honest. The States, Congress, and the President must work to ensure that foreign entities and subversives are not undermining those same processes." (flowersforcongress.com)
- "Renewable energy sources cannot be relied upon to heat our homes in the winter. Electricity would have to be stored in batteries, and when used for heating, the efficiency rate ranges between 30 and 60 percent. Fossil fuels are far superior for heating applications." (flowersforcongress.com)
