Maybe we should read this to the TNGOP legislators:
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
In the immediate aftermath of our school children and their teachers being murdered, TN Republicans immediately passed a bill to prevent weapons manufacturers from being sued. A statement from NRA spokesmen said the deaths of children were sad but simply the price of protecting 2nd Amendment rights. So protect GUNS over CHILDREN and that is that? What happened to these children's LIFE and LIBERTY?
I think it's time to abolish Republicans.
