Tennesseans, We are THIS Close to Losing a Vital Right!
The bill that came through the Senate on Tuesday may be the most alarming bill we’ll see in 2026. This bill, if passed, will put a provision in place keeping citizens from petitioning the government when they deem an action is unconstitutional. In 2018, a law was passed that would allow Tennesseans to “seek declaratory […]
Backroom Deals Are No Substitute for Real Solutions
As a lifelong Tennessee conservative who’s watched generations of my family graduate from our local public schools, I need to speak some plain truth about Governor Lee’s rushed voucher push. Something doesn’t add up, and it ain’t just the math. In most rural areas across Tennessee, we don’t have a single private school. Not one. […]

Update on the Governor’s Special Session for Public Safety (Red Flag Laws).
Tennesseans across the state have advocated loudly that voters do not want this special session. Primarily, we do not want restrictions on our 2nd Amendment rights and we do not want to debate complex topics like mental health in the abbreviated course of 3 days. Fortunately, it seems that our advocacy has taken hold and […]
The abrogation of rights by rulemaking.
A couple of weeks ago, we tried to answer the question of many homeschool parents as they were registering their students through homeschool umbrella programs in Tennessee. “Why am I being asked the immunization status of my homeschool child?” The confusion came about because of the passage this year of HB252 by Rep. Jody Barrett […]
A HUGE win for our Tennessee Constitution.
Today on the Senate floor, SJR 34, a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed the state of Tennessee to invest your tax dollars and become “owners” of private corporations FAILED. This is a big win for liberty and limited government. Thank you to EVERY Tennessean that spoke up and emailed or called your state […]
Ask your State Senator to vote NO on SJR 34
The constitutional amendment that would allow the state of Tennessee to now invest in and own private banks and private corporations is heading to the Senate floor. It needs a 2/3s majority to pass and once it passes both the Senate and the House, this proposed amendment will be on the ballot in November 2026. […]
As the 2023 legislative session begins to wind down, here’s where things sit.
The list isn’t pretty. But honestly, it is par for the course in the Tennessee supermajority RINO establishment General Assembly. Efforts to secure our elections and work towards medical freedom were all but completely ignored by this legislature. Larger wins came in the form of opposing bad legislation like the homeschool charter school bill, handcuffing […]
The bizzarro world of Tennessee’s Republican Party is embarrassing.
Many in Tennessee are finally waking up to the realization that the Republican Party you have been sold is far from the party that actually represents you at the Capitol in Nashville. There is a natural tendency to expect that the people we send to represent us in Nashville are the best of us and […]
