Governor Haslam's Promise

Governor Haslam's Promise is to sign a Constitutional Carry bill if it comes to him.


There you have it. Time to start contacting our elected representatives and pressure them to get a bill through the House and Senate in early 2015.

They legalized permit-less carry in vehicles this year. Why should you have to pay a fee to step out of your car with your defensive firearm.

See commentary HERE

Tennesse Constitutional Amendment voter guide Nov 2014



Amemdment 1 YES*

Amendment 2 NO

Amendment 3 YES

Amemdment 4 NO

There you have it 

YES on 1

NO on 2

YES on 3

NO on 4

or simply

YES NO YES NO

got it?

*Here they are:

Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 1 for the November 4, 2014 General Election Ballot:

"Shall Article I, of the Constitution of Tennessee be amended by adding the following language as a new, appropriately designated section:

Nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of an abortion. The people retain the right through their elected state representatives and state senators to enact, amend, or repeal statutes regarding abortion, including, but not limited to, circumstances of pregnancy resulting from rape or incest or when necessary to save the life of the mother."

 VOTE YES OR NO.

 Comment: Tennessee is currently the regional abortion destination. If you believe that unborn people deserve a chance at life vote YES on 1.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 2 for the November 4, 2014 General Election Ballot:

"Shall Article VI, Section 3 of the Constitution of Tennessee be amended by deleting the first and second sentences and by substituting instead the following:

Judges of the Supreme Court or any intermediate appellate court shall be appointed for a full term or to fill a vacancy by and at the discretion of the governor; shall be confirmed by the Legislature; and thereafter, shall be elected in a retention election by the qualified voters of the state. Confirmation by default occurs if the Legislature fails to reject an appointee within sixty calendar days of either the date of appointment, if made during the annual legislative session, or the convening date of the next annual legislative session, if made out of session. The Legislature is authorized to prescribe such provisions as may be necessary to carry out Sections two and three of this article." 

VOTE YES OR NO.

Comment: This amendment would codify (make legal) the currently illegal practice of judicial appointments. It is a crying shame that our leaders, who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution, have continued with this practice. If you believe we should not give them permission to continue this illegal practice, vote NO on 2.
 
Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 3 for the November 4, 2014 General Election Ballot:

"Shall Article II, Section 28 of the Constitution of Tennessee be amended by adding the following sentence at the end of the final substantive paragraph within the section:

Notwithstanding the authority to tax privileges or any other authority set forth in this Constitution, the Legislature shall not levy, authorize or otherwise permit any state or local tax upon payroll or earned personal income or any state or local tax measured by payroll or earned personal income; however, nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting any tax in effect on January 1, 2011, or adjustment of the rate of such tax."

 VOTE YES OR NO.

 Comment: Tennessee is currently (with the exception of the Hall Tax) one of the few states in the Union that does not have an income tax. Politicians at all levels have an insatiable appetite for your money.  If you believe they need to live within their means, not appropriate more money out of your pocket, vote YES on 3.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment No. 4 for the November 4, 2014 General Election Ballot:

"Shall Article XI, Section 5 of the Constitution of Tennessee be amended by deleting the following language:

All other forms of lottery not authorized herein are expressly prohibited unless authorized by a two-thirds vote of all members elected to each house of the general assembly for an annual event operated for the benefit of a 501(c)(3) organization located in this state, as defined by the 2000 United States Tax Code or as may be amended from time to time.

And by substituting instead the following language:

All other forms of lottery not authorized herein are expressly prohibited unless authorized by a two-thirds vote of all members elected to each house of the general assembly for an annual event operated for the benefit of a 501(c)(3) or a 501(c)(19) organization, as defined by the 2000 United States Tax Code, located in this state." 

VOTE YES OR NO. 

Comment: Lotteries, by their very nature, are evil. They infuse in the populace the ideal of getting something for nothing. They are addictive, and mostly constitute a POOR TAX. This is another way to separate people from their hard earned money. If you agree that this is a bad notion, then vote NO on 4.

A matter of degree

Politicians everywhere create Gun Free Zones, then want to punish citizens who carry defensive firearms in them. Some more than others. Read my Examiner article HERE.
