Due to the way the amendment process works here in Tennessee, people who support amendment 1 should not vote for governor. The total number of votes for governor determines the number of votes needed to pass. Our Governor will not lose.

...and the birthplace of David Crockett.
“Due to the way the amendment process works here in Tennessee, people who support amendment 1 should not vote for governor. The total number of votes for governor determines the number of votes needed to pass. Our Governor will not lose.”
Exactly. I would not vote for pantywaist Haslam anyway, but since it helps Yes on Amendment 1 to keep the vote totals in the governor’s race down, that’s even more reason not to vote for governor.
If Texas bolts TN will support them and follow.
I wish TN would be the first to bolt but it is unlikely.
TN militia fought and died at the Alamo. All of them died.
“If Texas bolts TN will support them and follow. I wish TN would be the first to bolt but it is unlikely.”
I’m with you.
Way to Go Tennessee.
I’m from Texas but I don’t mention Texas every time another state is mentioned.
Great State, Tennessee, home of the Grand Old Opry, Dolly Parton, as said Smokey Mountains are beautiful.
We have Vote Yes signs all over the place around here. Our local paper has been carrying comments and Letters to the Editor about it for quite a while. The vote No crowd is trying to spread a lot of mis-information but most Tennesseans are very much pro-life and the Vote Yes comments have outnumber the No by quite a bit.
I haven’t seen one Vote No yard sign anywhere in my part of Tennessee. Lots of “Yes on One” signs.
and they’re voting on abolishing income taxes too?
They don’t have a state income tax and the legislators have attempted to sneak one through in the past, resulting in hordes of angry Tennesseeans descending upon the capitol building, surrounding it while blowing their car and truck horns.
They’re voting on banning it, which would preclude such an end-run.
Voting on an amendment to deny the ability to tax income, unless changed by a future amendment.
good. Then the left would have to undo that before trying for an income tax. Of course if they try they’ll just get a judge to throw it out on some technicality
We are making the constitution clearer in that there cannot be an income tax period.
Tennessee is like many southern states, it bewilders people elsewhere and even here sometimes, but state government still has a lot of Democrats and leftist schemes do get through from time to time, despite voting fairly reliably Republican in national elections. Witness: TennCare.
I haven’t seen any Vote No signs either. I have seen a few letters in the paper from pro-abortion women but not too many. They get shot down pretty fast the next day by the pro-life crowd. :-)
Remember, it wasn't because of the Supreme Court that Algore lost. It was because 40,000 Tennesseans did not vote for him and he lost the state as a result. That's why he lost to W.
bump
Just so no one believes PP’s lies
Amendment 1:
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.”
