This outrageous pro animal abuse bill violates the First Amendment, so ruled the Tennessee Attorney General's Office.
Governor Haslam said he was waiting for the opinion before deciding the bill's fate. Opinion in.
It's time to VETO THE DAMN THING GOVERNOR HASLAM.
The Tennessee Attorney General's office just released an opinion that a bill that would effectively ban private citizens from long-term, undercover investigations of animal abuse is 'constitutionally suspect' and violates the First Amendment.

T-Mobile Nashville appears to be guilty of pregnancy discrimination. And yes, pregnancy discrimination is illegal. Talk about a cheap company. And dangerous to the health of women and their babies.
The Nashville T-Mobile call center forced this pregnant woman, and god knows how many others, to get a doctor's note to go to the bathroom and then to clock out whenever she did!
“If a pregnant woman is the only employee being forced to clock out, and they don’t require males or non-pregnant females to do so, it would seem to me that would be pregnancy discrimination.”
Just the kind of stress a pregnant woman needs.
Why would anyone buy a phone from an anti family company like T-Mobile?
Mom's Rising Org: Why I Believe in Paid Sick Leave:
My supervisor said if I had a medical necessity to use the toilet, I should go get a note from my doctor. And my doctor thought I was crazy. She told me, “I’m sure one person going to the toilet wouldn’t mean the collapse of an entire T-Mobile customer service center!”
... After a long consultation with H.R. to make sure it would be air tight, I got the doctor’s note, so I was free to go to the bathroom whenever I needed. But T-Mobile was absolutely not going to pay me for going to the toilet. So every time I needed to go, I had to clock out and lot out of the system. Then I had to write it down and turn it into resource planning – just to make sure it I wasn’t gone an unreasonable amount of time!
... I would sprint – as much as a heavily pregnant woman can — between my desk and the bathroom to make sure I squeezed every second I could out of my work day. Everything I did was scrutinized. I felt picked on. Someone was always watching over my shoulder, monitoring my performance. . .
Finally one of my doctors told me that she was putting me on full FMLA. It was all too much. I still wasn’t eating, drinking and using the toilet like I was supposed it. I was getting sick. My blood pressure was sky high. I was stressed about the possibility of losing my job and my health insurance. I wanted to tell my story because this is why paid medical and sick leave is so important. No one should have to go through what I did.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H. voted against background checks and failed miserably to justify her vote when confronted by Erica Lafferty, daughter of a Newtown victim.

The meme depicts a man aiming a gun and is captioned with the words:
"How to wink at a Muslim."
What an effing bigoted dummy.

Another gun tragedy in a gun-nut state. The killing will be ruled an accident. The little boy killed the little girl with his own freaking gun! A gift from his idiot parents. The idiot parents should be charged for the girls' death!
Cumberland County Coroner Gary White identified the girl as Caroline Starks. He said the children's mother was at home when the shooting occurred, and the gun was a gift the boy received last year.
"It's a Crickett," he said. "It's a little rifle for a kid. ...The little boy's used to shooting the little gun."
