This is worth watching. Pick up the talking points and call your state legislators...

Note that by some irony or perhaps Divine intervention, the House version of the bill if "1796" which is the date that Tennessee became a state! Isn't it fitting that the bill to redeclare the rights of Tennessee as a sovereign state bears the year of the state's birth?

THIS IS THE 10th AMENDMENT bill for Tennessee similar to the ones being passed or considered in Montana and 30+ other states. This bill needs to be on notice and moving forward.

I just checked the status of of HB1783/SB1644. It seems to be sitting in Senate jud commetee. What can we do to get it out and voted on so we can push it up?

Its a duplicate bill. It is moving and moved today out of Senate Judiciary under SB1610/HB1796

Thanks for the infor so we need to be on the phone/email telling our critters to support SB1610/HB1796.
