Gov. Lee's 18 Requests for August 21 Special Session

Fellow Tennesseans,

Governor Bill Lee has finally made the official proclamation to call the Tennessee Special Assembly for a Special Session on August 21st, and with the proclamation is a list of the issues he wants to discuss. He has asked the legislature to consider 18 different things ranging from changes to mental health services, school security, and firearms storage laws, all the way down to new rules for dealing with juvenile defendants and, of course, “temporary mental health orders of protection,” which is essentially a standard Red Flag Law.

Now is the time to let legislators know why we are opposed to passing this legislation. There is a new tool that will make emailing the Tennessee representatives and senators easier. Click the button below to get a web page with a list of the TN legislators' email addresses, a subject line, and the email body. If you enter your name and hit the button, it will create an email in your app of choice, ready to send.

But, before sending, please read the email to make sure it ACTUALLY represents the thoughts you want to send to the legislators; you can freely edit it as you see fit. Then, all you have to do is hit send. Please do not endlessly spam the legislators with this tool, but an email or two a day couldn't hurt.

We will keep you posted on any updates that we get. Thank you for helping us protect the rights of Tennessee citizens.
