" encouraging people to show up and voice their opinions tonight as well as bring a camcorder to tape the proceedings outside the state capitol."

Or time to bring a rifle and give them "ball for ball". A properly aimed 700 Remington with 30-06 will take down most redcoats er I mean national goons.

Someone needs to get to a courthouse with an emergency petition to order the gov to stand the Nat'l Guard down. This is intimidation in an attempt to suppress the exercise of the 1st Amendment. When the DNC tried to move protesters 2 miles away from the national convention, a federal judge ruled it unconstitutional.

HERE IS WHAT Y'ALL SHOULD DO, IF AN INCOME TAX IS EVER PASSED.

Everyone should IMMEDIATELY quit their jobs and go on the gov't dole. Then when the state realizes how much MORE money must be paid, and how much LESS revenue is generated by the state income tax, will teach them a lesson.

Don Sundquist, the Governor of Tennessee, has called up the Tennessee National Guard and has armed them with rifles and live ammunition in response to the Tennessee House Of Representatives suspending the House Rules in anticipation of a vote on the state income tax this evening.

Tennessee = "Venezuela North"???

Here is the wrap-up on what happened today at the Tennessee Legislature via News Channel 5 - Nashville:

No Support For Hastily Call Budget Fix

Wednesday, in a surprise move, Governor Don Sundquist and legislative leaders tried to pass a temporary sales tax increase that would have gone into effect next week.

Tennessee Political News - April 24, 2002

It was a roller coaster ride on Capitol Hill Wednesday. In a surprise move, the Governor and legislative leaders tried to pass a temporary sales tax increase that would have gone into effect next week.

As they arrived for session Wednesday, many lawmakers had no idea that they were going to be asked to vote on the temporary tax measure. House leaders suspended the rules and Republicans and Democrats went into separate rooms to try and work out a deal.

Governor Don Sundquist met with Republicans and said the state had no choice by to pass an immediate sales tax increase to meet this year's projected budget shortfall. Democrats also met and looked over paperwork detailing the terrible state of the budget.

This year's shortfall was projected to be $350 million, but tax collections are down and the latest estimate is $480 million, just for this year. The proposed sales tax increase would put the state sales tax at seven percent, up from six percent. It would have gone into effect next week and end on the last day of the year.

The sales tax plan never came up for a vote. Leaders realized there were not enough votes to pass the temporary measure. Now, the plan is to begin raiding all of the state's reserve funds, but many are concerned that still isn't enough to cover the increasing deficit. Neither house can agree on a long-term budget fix.
