With the comittee system set up as it is we have esentially the situation in the TN House as currently exists in th US Senate..... A few( 3 to be exact ) members are able to deny the house a vote on legislation that the majority of members have signed on as sponsors.
We MUST contact as many House members as possible to get the 66 votes needed to get this bill out of comittee.
We may be able to utilize the fillibuster controversy in the US Senate to apply pressure to TN House members?
When a wrong is found, those with the means to bring about change, have the obligation to do so.
