I LOVE IT, and am proud to live here. I think it is simply wonderful that this was passed, I have become more involved in politics the last year, and I do know that it is on the table for a Bill that Would Prevent Federal Government from Regulating Firearms in TN, here is the location if you would like to read it. http://www.wztv.com/newsroom/top_stories/wztv_vid_5694.shtml I hope they will also look at us going to our own currency. God Bless us all, our country and TN. way to go Tennessee. Hi all, I am a yankee transplant, and have been here 11 years.

I think this way "if yankees ever stop looking down their noses at the South it will be because they have finally driven us into their mold,and view us as no different from them!" If that comes to pass,we are really screwed! So john manguy,please, by all means call us what you will! Now to the real business at hand,THANK YOU Rep. Lynn and Sen. McNally! Next let's push hard for the next step, NULLIFICATION OF STUPID FEDERAL LAWS! Oh y’all,don’t fret over john manguy,be glag and thankful!

This will be getting off subject a little but I will try not to take up too much space. If you don't care for the south or southerns that much its because you don't know us and believe too much of what you see on TV and in the movies I think. We are often protrayed as slow mentally as well as in movement, toothless and too tolerent of bums. Well I have to admit some of thats true but if you inderstand the reasons perhaps it will help. We would rather measure twice and cut once or if you perfer, we embrace the comcept of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Not sure that makes us mentally slow. We move slow because its just too dang hot to go any faster and we have found you get there at about the same time anyway. We do show our town drunks the same respect we show our mayors mostly. But the reason is we've all seen hard times at some point but that makes the man no less one of Gods children. And some of us are saving up for teeth but the reason for that is, as much as we like cornbread and milk and scrambled eggs, there are other foods we love that you really need teeth for. Or maybe we're different because there are more churches per sq. mile in the south than anywhere else. Or because momma made us this way. Its hard to say. But I'm sure we have some misconceptions of northerners as well. I hope you will come and visit sometime. You would be welcomed. john manguy I meant to get to you earlier and just plain got busy.

I went to the site and its really a feel good tale. The only draw back I see is the fact thats its backed by fiat money or US currency if you prefer. US currency has been a sick puppy since the Federal Reserve started the printing presses. When the dollar finally keels over has it must at some point, the script will become worthles as well. I would like to see this done on a state level with precious metals in the vault to back up the currency. Silver would actually be best. We could spend silver coins once again or trade it or redeem the paper for it at our State Bank. Love it. Ryan thansk for the info. I went to the site and its really a feel good tale.

I applaude what the TN Senate has done and hope the House will follow. A similar bill is pending in the Ohio legislature and in more than 30 states across the nation. It isn't just Tennessee and the South; freedom loving Americans are fed up with our corrupt federal government and are expressing themselves through state sovernity resolutions, tea parties and other actions. May this trend continue and grow until we achieve the Constitutional balance our founders established. By the way, BK Campbell, it's legal for cities to issue local currency to use within that city. Some are doing it now. I don't know about states but it's an interesting question.
