Seriously, If The Tennessee Conservative Doesn't Inform You.... WHO WILL???That’s not just a subject line. It’s the question every Tennessee conservative should be asking.Because if The Tennessee Conservative doesn’t tell GOP Primary Voters what’s really happening in Nashville, who will?The liberal press won’t. Corporate media won’t. The Republican establishment won’t. And the lobbyists, consultants, and insiders certainly won’t volunteer the truth.That’s why we exist – and we need your help TODAY, because our coffers are LOW after reporting these past few months on the General Assembly. Donate Now >> https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/if-we-dont-inform-you-who-will/We report the stories other Tennessee outlets ignore, soften, or spin — from a conservative perspective, for conservative voters.This session, our small team covered the issues that matter most:Conservative press access — because when conservative reporters are shut out, conservative voters are shut out too.Illegal immigration — including enforcement, taxpayer costs, public safety, and whether Tennessee leaders are willing to protect our citizens.Education and school choice — asking the hard questions about parental rights, taxpayer accountability, government strings, and what these policies mean for homeschoolers, private schools, and Christian families.GOP establishment games — exposing committee maneuvers, rule changes, leadership pressure, ethics questions, and Republicans who campaign conservative but govern differently.Culture-war battles — covering threats to children, family values, parental rights, religious liberty, life, and common sense in Tennessee classrooms and communities.This is the work no one else in Tennessee is doing like we do it.But here’s the hard truth:After covering the General Assembly this session, our piggy bank is near busted.  Donate Now >> https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/if-we-dont-inform-you-who-will/Reporting from the Capitol takes time, travel, research, bill tracking, interviews, video, email alerts, technology, and a willingness to take heat from powerful people who don’t want voters informed.- We don’t have a billionaire owner.- We don’t have corporate media money.- We don’t have government grants.- We are funded by grassroots conservatives like you.So today, I’m asking you to make your best gift to The Tennessee Conservative.Please give $25, $50, $100, $250 — or whatever you can afford.  Donate Now >> https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/if-we-dont-inform-you-who-will/Your gift helps us keep watching the legislature, reading the bills, tracking the votes, naming names, exposing the spin, and alerting GOP Primary Voters before it’s too late.Because if The Tennessee Conservative goes quiet, the left-wing press will not start doing our job.The establishment will not suddenly tell you the truth.And Tennessee conservatives will be left with campaign mailers, lobbyist talking points, and media spin.That cannot happen.Please donate today and help us keep the truth flowing.Donate Now >> https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/if-we-dont-inform-you-who-will/Your Friend in Freedom,Brandon LewisFounder, The Tennessee ConservativeP.S.

Friend,At Trump’s State of the Union, Democrats wouldn’t even stand for the victims of illegal immigration.Shocking?Maybe.But here in Tennessee, the media does the same thing every day — just more quietly.They won’t stand up for you.They won’t report the truth.They won’t hold Republicans accountable when they betray conservative voters.We do.And here’s why…1. Our money comes from YOU2. I don’t take a dime from The Tennessee Conservative.The minute we start taking corporate money, PAC money, or checks from weak-kneed politicians… the truth stops.That’s not speculation.That’s how the game works.For five years we’ve survived this way.But I’m going to be blunt:We may not get through this legislative session without immediate support.I checked the mailbox after being gone for over a week.Two checks.Two.Meanwhile, our reporting has:Stopped bad bills• Exposed weak records• Encouraged primary challengers• Advanced legislation conservatives have fought for years to passBut investigative reporting isn’t free.Legislative session coverage is expensive.And conservatives are asleep because they think what’s happening in D.C. fixes Tennessee.It doesn’t.If Tennessee loses ONE conservative news source…The establishment wins.The media narrative goes unchecked.And you won’t even know what’s being done in your name.I don’t want a few large donors carrying the load.I want the thousands of people who read our reporting every week to put skin in the game.If you value truth in Tennessee, step up now.👉 Go here to support:https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/support/You can also mail a check — and frankly, we need more of them.TTC - PO Box 625, Signal Mountain, TN 37377This isn’t about comfort.It’s about survival.The only reason we’ve ever been able to tell the truth is because our funding is tied directly to you.Right now, we need more people to stand in the gap.Please help us stay in the fight. Give something significant – to you.~Brandon LewisTennessee Conservative NewsP.S. If you think someone else will handle this, they won’t. That’s how watchdogs disappear.Donate now.

Olivia Lupia of The Tennessee Conservative interviews State Representative Monty Fritts, who is also running for governor, discussing upcoming bills and his legislative priorities for the session. The bill filing deadline was extended to February 3rd at 3:00 p.m..Key topics and bills discussed include:Grocery Sales Tax Bill: Representative Fritts is running a bill that would remove the 4% state sales tax on items that qualify for WIC. He notes that this is the same bill he carried a couple of years ago and it removes the burden from grocers by not requiring them to reprogram anything. The intent is that all Tennessee citizens would benefit from the tax removal on these items. A few years ago, the fiscal note was about $150 million. He believes this is a "measured step forward" compared to trying to remove all grocery taxes and that the dollars saved by Tennesseans will go back into the economy.Charlie Kirk Memorial Courtyard Bill: Representative Fritts and Senator Pod are running a bill for schools that would create the Charlie Kirk Memorial Courtyard. The idea evolved from an initial proposal for a road or boulevard. The courtyards are intended to be a conversation space, memorializing the importance of dialogue, and would allow for public donations to help. The idea is to remind "crazy leftist Marxist radicals" on college campuses that they are near things like the Ten Commandments and the Declaration of Independence.Illegal Immigration: Representative Fritts believes Tennessee has led the nation in addressing illegal immigration, specifically with House Bill 1872, which addresses violent crime committed by illegal immigrants with a life in prison sentence without parole. He also highlighted the importance of considering residency status for bond.Non-Essentialism Bill: Representative Fritts is still pursuing his non-essentialism bill, which the governor's office has fought for three years.Property Tax: Representative Fritts wants to address property taxes by getting rid of the unrealized capital gain tax. He also wants to fix the value of a home at its 2020 value or what the owner paid for it since then. His bill aims to prevent U.S. citizens from being evicted for delinquent property taxes, especially if they have owned the house for ten years.Sanctity of Life Bill: This bill focuses on five areas and includes provisions related to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Representative Fritts stated that to discard or destroy a fertilized egg as part of the IVF process is murder. The bill is intended as a "corrective measure" after Governor Lee did not veto a bill that Fritts believed gave the right to create and discard human life at will. The other categories addressed in the bill are transgender surgeries, human trafficking, and abortion.Obscenity and Pornography: A bill is being introduced to take on obscenity and pornography in public places. It would require places like a strip club to post a sign warning that patrons "may be contributing to human trafficking, sexual assault, and family violence". Books and tapes would also require a warning label similar to a pack of cigarettes.Gun Bills: Representative Fritts is working on two gun bills, which address the "intent to go armed". One bill is already filed. The other bill would also include campus carry, allowing young adults to carry a firearm on campus, and would allow citizens to protect their private property with a firearm. The bill also addresses long guns.
