What did happen is they were forced to rein in TennCare, which was the state’s version of Hillarycare.

Just amazing isn’t it. Instead of pillaging the public, they were forced to do what should have been done years before. The public forced the issue, “by the consent of the Governed”, or in this case the consent being peacefully withdrawn.

Having been there at the Capital building in Nashville for a couple of days of the protest, I can tell you it was a beautiful thing to see. I can also tell you it is precisely what needs to happen again, only this time on a national level. Congresscritters make regular appearances in their respective districts. It's high time constituents started showing up in large numbers at these events and letting their representatives know they either support their actions, or they oppose, whatever the case may be....Fear is a great motivator and congresscritters fear nothing more than losing an election.....
