Tennessee Stands is working to protect the individual liberty of all Tennesseans. Advocating for freedom. Nonprofit.
Freedom is not free. Stand with Tennessee.
At the beginning of the 113th General Assembly, Tennessee Stands sent out our first Legislative Survey, to which we received responses from more than 3,000 Tennesseans. Your responses were significant in informing legislators about Tennesseans’ sentiments on the most critical
BREAKING: And so it begins. Robertson County Schools tonight unanimously voted to make masks optional for all students and employees effective immediately!!!
Stand your ground and press on. We are thankful to the school district and its board for recognizing the rule of law.
BREAKING: SB1/HB1 (child mutilation) and SB3/HB9 (drag performances and minors) have officially passed the General Assembly and will soon be headed to
@GovBillLee
for his signature.
Congrats on getting this done.
Let’s us be clear.
We don’t give a rip about the advice of
@amygrant
and
@SherylCrow
on gun control measures and red flag laws.
That is all. That’s the statement.
BREAKING: Here we go!
We FULLY OPPOSE this effort by the Governor. This is happening fast and details be forthcoming. Start making the phone calls and applying the pressure now.
This will not stand in Tennessee.
Prayers to false Gods. Speech from an atheist porn star. And a new platform lacking declarations on marriage and life from conception.
This is not inclusivity. It’s an abomination.
The party is leaving conservatives behind.
As an elected representative of the state of Tennessee,
@brotherjones_
refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance on the House floor.
This guy is an absolute piece of trash and utterly unbecoming of the honor of the office he currently holds.
South Carolina Rep Adam Morgan laying down the absolute truth in the SC House.
Special interests and lobbying firms are NOT the “smart people” in the room.
Might we have men of the same conviction in the Tennessee House?
BREAKING: The courts have failed us yet again. And again, by a Trump-appointed federal judge. You can't make this up.
SB1 (Tennessee law preventing child mutilation surgeries) was enjoined today by federal district judge Eli Richardson of Middle Tennessee. We are still looking
We are calling for the immediate resignation of
@JohnCooper4Nash
. And we are asking
@GovBillLee
and the TN General Assembly to demand the same.
Cooper is a fraud and has acted with malicious intent against the people of Davidson County.
Thankful for a great outcome for Paul Vaughan and his conviction under the FACE Act for praying at an abortion clinic. He was sentenced today to 3 years of supervised release. No jail time and no fine. Praise God!
They will move on to appeal the conviction. More to come.
We sent this letter to the TN Attorney General requesting that the state of Tennessee take legal action against Big Tech to protect the free speech of Tennesseans.
Of course he did.
Please realize that the “nazi parade” in Nashville is paid propaganda and a false flag setup by the Left.
And that is done to stir up angst and give people like Jones the opportunity to “resist.”
Hot air.
🚨 HB 794/SB 320: “Medical Non-Discrimination Business & Consumer Act” is officially entering the legislative session!
This bill protects both businesses & consumers from medical device (mask) discrimination & retribution.
TN business owners sign here👇
Alabama’s Senate just unanimously passed SB267 which will restrict businesses from denying service to consumers based any proof of vaccination.
Other states are taking action.
While
@GovBillLee
and the

@tnhousegop
are pretending to lead. Frauds.
Another stand against
@GovBillLee
unconstitutional push to chip away at our 2A rights.
Thanks to
@GopLewisTN
for making our position clear.
Who else is going to make a stand?
Yeah, it’s called doing something. We work to defend liberty. We work to secure parental rights. We work to ensure that gov remains limited and that constitutional rights are protected.
Meanwhile, you guys run a Twitter account. Good luck with that.

This is nullification.
Unfortunately,
@AGTennessee
has opined that a state executive has no ability to interpret the Constitution and act against a tyrannical federal government.
States must get used to making this kind of a stand.
Note to conservatives.
If you are calling for the expulsion of 3 State Representatives, but you did not call for the resignation of Lt. Gov. Randy McNally, sit down.
Be honest, all the time. Not just when it suits you.
There’s lots of media misrepresenting what happened in Williamson County last night. Here’s a recap of the School Board Meeting. We the people will not comply. We will not co-parent with the government. They’re our kids. Period. Join the movement:
Gary got to speak before the Commission on October 26th encouraging the Commissioners that they had a Constitutional duty to the public to draft such an ordinance.
Great job citizens of Knox County. You got active. You persisted. And you got it done!

@TNGOP
state senators that signed a letter in 2021 shaming Tennesseans and urging them to get the “safe and effective” jab.
They have never apologized.
Well, we've got another one for you. We just premiered this new piece live on the
@SteveDeaceShow
and happy to share it with you now.
Are you tired of the continuous propaganda by our Governor and elected officials?
We are too. It's time to tell the truth.
Just a couple of quick thoughts as we see unlawful regulations start to ramp up again across the state in response to “increased numbers” from our brilliant scientists and doctors with Protect My Care.
We do not and cannot support any proposal that would effectively strip due process rights from an individual and the right to bear arms.
Click the link to OPPOSE this legislation now!
We are so thankful that we were able to play a part in this due to the efforts of our Knox Area Director, Elizabeth Murphy and the people of Empowered Knox.
BREAKING: Nashville Metro Council votes for indefinite deferral of the indoor mask mandate.
The mask mandate did not pass in Nashville!!
You did good Nashville. It pays to get vocal for your freedoms. Stay vigilant.
Since a federal appellate court has now established that “the jab” is not a vaccine, when should we expect the
@CDCgov
to remove the jab from the childhood vaccination schedule?

No more breathing in wet bacteria to make others "feel" better.
No. More.

Good debate on the House floor.
This is good policy. Let all who would harm children in Tennessee be put on notice.
We’ve supported this effort since the day it was filed. The death penalty for a child rapist is a good and just punishment.
A Tennessee lawmaker wants the state to have the ability to exempt itself from a presidential executive order and have the Attorney General determine if an order is unconstitutional.
NEW: American Academy of Pediatrics recommends universal masking for children in schools.
CDC needs to change their guidance too. If there is no proof of vaccination, and vaccinated & unvaccinated people are mixing, indoor masking need to be required.
Conservatives took a bath last night, being slaughtered by $MILLIONS, care of DC voucher PACs.
The only solace we have today is Trump calling
@GovBillLee
a RINO.
Pure gold.
Note: Congrats to
@electmichele
on her victory. Huge win!!
Say it louder because this falls on deaf ears to our legislators here in Tennessee like
@SenJohnson
They say, “the machines are secure and TN is
#1
in election integrity.”
We say, “NO MACHINES!”
BREAKING: As it turns out, our interpretation of HB252 was right.
Homeschool families registered under Category IV Church-Related Non-Public School umbrella programs WILL NOT be subject to immunization requirements and umbrella programs WILL NOT be required to collect this data.
Time for
@GovBillLee
to step up and put his faith in action. No more back pew sitting.
Tennesseans are being unconstitutionally persecuted under the FACE Act.
Be a Governor and defend the Constitution.
Not a peep from
@GovBillLee
and others on the prospect of 600 illegals declaring to DHS that they are headed to Middle Tennessee.
There are a lot of things
@GovBillLee
wants to spend money on. I vote to spend all he can on bussing illegals somewhere else.
Governor Bill Lee calls special session for gun control, and the RINOs applaud.
Little men with microphones are publicly celebrating the Governor’s call for a special session because they are going to expand school safety, remove taxes on gun safes, and pass a resolution on
We are disappointed to hear that Williamson County Schools has elected NOT to extend the right of self-defense to teachers in our public schools. Gun-free zones create soft targets. And the General Assembly took a step in the right direction to allow teachers to carry a firearm.
Today, we have filed a lawsuit against one of the largest healthcare providers in the country, Ascension Healthcare. Nurses at Ascension started a Liberty Union through Tennessee Stands and decided to band together for their rights!
Sevier County has an upcoming drag performance open to minors. This is illegal in the state of Tennessee. Local parents and pastors are standing up for children. But so far, the local district attorney and other local law enforcement refuse to act.
In light of the continued litigation of the plandemic in Congress, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion, it is important to remember the tyrants from 2020. And whether you want to allow yourself to believe it or not, Bill Lee was up there with the best of them.
In
Our state is getting sicker by the day, and this vaccine will not cure selfishness and indifference. I believe Tennesseans have a tremendous capacity to make responsible decisions, and we need you to wear a mask and consider alternate holiday gatherings.
To
@GovBillLee
and the 116 of 132 members of the General Assembly that voted for this crap, we want our money back.
Corporate welfare is an abomination. Giving away our tax dollars and hedging bets on job growth is not good governance. It’s theft.
Bill Lee is a fool.
Some folks argue that they want to fix education. They want kids to have great opportunities. They want to generate meaningful outcomes for families.
Well, that takes leadership and we don’t have it. But they do in Oklahoma.
Gov. Bill Lee's Special Session ends with no meaningful results – which is a victory.

Although this may have been a victory in this battle, the war of Republicans calling for gun control in Tennessee remains a real and present danger!

A 36 year old Congresswoman getting fondled in public by a man she is not married to.
And yet, GOP’ers want to defend this behavior with, “well, it’s not as bad as ________.”
This is why we have no moral authority.
Tennessee Stands is actively working to protect our constitutional liberties from government overreach. At both the legislative & legal level.
Retweet and comment to engage and stay informed about our projects and lawsuits.
For the good of all Tennesseans!
@tennesseestands
Well Tennesseans, it looks like we may have finally made enough noise. Word on the street is that the General Assembly will call themselves to a special session.
Now, the REAL work is just beginning.
It is go time. Great work Tennessee!
JUST IN: Metro Schools is reporting hundreds of COVID-19 cases and over a 1,000 quarantines or isolations among students and staff for the first week of class
The death penalty for child rape (HB1663) is a great step forward for Tennessee.
For what it’s worth, we’d also support 20 years to life for what is seen in this video. Let’s go all the way in Tennessee.
Nothing to see here. Just police officers facilitating entrance to the Capitol.
You should know with clarity that your government hates you. We are ruled by an insidious group aimed at the destruction of our liberty and our nation.
TN Chamber of Commerce now lobbying against the Religious Exemption Protection Act. Apparently, it's completely appropriate for employers to force their employees to get a vaccine.
People, I'm telling you. Call your legislators. The powers that be do not want this bill to pass.
Never forget that in 2021 when you were being threatened with the loss of your job and your liberty stolen,
@GovBillLee
flat refused to call a special session to deal with a constitutional crisis.
But, he made it a top priority to call the General Assembly into a special session

Good!! That’s because the state indeed has the constitutional authority to protect minors.
Glad the General Assembly took on this fight! And thank you
@AGTennessee
No.
1. Bans COVID shot mandates by gov’t entities and employers (minus federal contractors and healthcare). All other vaccines can be mandated.
2. Allows entertainment venues to employ the use of vax passports.
3. Only restricts gov’t entities and public schools from mask
Yes ma’am. In October of 21 we passed the Covid protection bill.
Statewide application.
Bans vaccine mandates/passports.
Prohibits governmental entities from imposing masks mandates.
Bill language is below.
You got to watch your Tennessee government, right in front of your eyes, proclaim they intend to increase control over your lives. They killed a bill to protect religious exemptions to vaccines by pretending that it put everyone else in danger.
How? Money. Always, money. 💲

Get vaccinated!
These shots need to get into arms as rapidly as possible, or else we're gonna be back in a situation this fall like what we went through last year.
If you care about medical freedom in America and want to see vaccine manufacturers held accountable, this is one of the most encouraging conversations you’ll ever hear!
RFK leaked call with President Trump.
TN legislators are expressing outrage that a Franklin soccer coach and child rapist is an illegal. And rightfully so.
But you may not know that some of those same leaders voted for a bill in 2022 allowing illegals to obtain professional business licenses in TN, incentivizing
Big money doesn’t always win the day. Thanks to all of the conservatives across the state who made an impact in killing efforts by national special interest groups to pump public money into our private schools and homeschools.
Privacy with no entanglements is real freedom.
Most of us recognize that we have a crisis at the border. But it seems difficult to get politicians or the media to say the word, crisis.
But on Monday, January 22, 2024, the United States Supreme Court clarified that we not only have a border crisis. We have a constitutional
Nothing like going to The White House Facebook Page and seeing a pic of your Republican Governor applauding Joe Biden as he enters the room.
If we have not been successful since 2020 at letting you know what a schmuck
@GovBillLee
really is, maybe this will finally do it.
Both sides of the aisle should be interested in these complaints and ensure that we root out corruption in the state House.
Can’t understand why the judge would seal the records of public servants.

There is a battle happening right now across TN leading up to August 1st. Out of state PACs are spending MILLIONS to support weak limp-wristed sold out political hacks to consolidate power.
Pro-tip: Ignore every piece of mail and every ad not PAID FOR by the candidate.

@GovBillLee
is still undecided on calling a special session to take on school districts requiring masks. Keeps reiterating school boards have the authority, but won’t take position on whether he would support eliminating that power. “Nothing’s off the table.”

When federal judges pretend to commandeer locally elected bodies to enact policy, you know we've got it all wrong.
And when that happens, we need real state leadership. And this is exactly the type of strong leadership that we need.
Tennessee, follow this guy's lead on this.
This is the kind of leadership that we are asking for from Gov. Bill Lee. Stand up and protect our kids from schools run by left-leaning political hacks with an agenda.
DeSantis says that he will call for action from the Florida legislature.
We now live in a nation with open borders. And the most action we’ve seen is either mad tweets or the occasional Congressman saying they are mad about it on the news.
Texas and Abbott - a show
H.R. 2 - a show
Impeaching Mayorkas - a show
It’s all a show.

Please call the House Health Sub Committee asking them to pass HB 10 the Religious Exemption Protection Act.
Ask 5 friends to call too & ask those 5 to ask 5!

As the House has the constitutional authority to set its own rules, it also has the ability to amend them. Coming into the beginning of the 2024 session, an amendment to the rules has been filed requiring that all votes taken in committee be recorded by roll call.
