|Giving is the Key to Restraining Government Power\\ //Joe Sheeley-TN SCW//\\ \\ Up until the start of the 20th century, the Federal Government had almost no role in the day-to-day lives of American citizens.

Many of them claim to believe that is the greatest risk they see and the very foundation of their opposition to the Article V process. Is this a rational fear? Let’s look at it!... [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vTe7DFXutWgqylKVlEASiAJkjpor5p-Lgh1VR5gAtiFeQastxzudeZWmwfbk2LE0Q/pub|Read on]]\\ \\ Marcy Brooks Receives Patriot Pin! \\ \\ Tennessee's new Regional Grassroots Coordinator received the coveted Patriot Pin from State Director, Lyle Hill.
