Dear Red Army:

We need you.

The Tennessee State House has passed a bill that will likely ensure the loss of our Tennessee State

Fairgrounds! The bill is up for a vote in the Senate THIS THURSDAY.

The bill gives control of the Tennessee State Fair (only the fair) to a state appointed commission and

threatens to take it out of Davidson County. This is exactly what Mayor Dean has sought from the

beginning. The Senate sponsor, Democrat Joe Haynes of Nashville, has been asked to amend the

bill to require the fair to stay in Davidson County and so far he has refused! Coincidentally, the Press

Secretary for the Democrats is the leader of the SNAP organization that led the effort to demolish the

racetrack, give up the State Fair and kick out the Flea Market.

This new legislation also contains language that could allow the Fairgrounds to be sold: "(6) Sell or

convey all or a portion of the property, land, or buildings under its management subject to the approval of the state building commission;"

The full text of the bill is HERE

Your help is needed to sway our senators. They must hear from you ASAP!

1) They must hear from you by high-noon, Wednesday, April 25. Ask that they honor the voter's

wishes and amend the bill to keep the Tennessee State Fair in the capital city at its home for over

106 years! Copy/Paste the addresses from BELOW to send an EMAIL to all of Tennessee's

Senators.

2) If available, unpack your red shirts and be on the second floor of the TN State Capital

building at 8:30am Thursday morning for "Red Army" action!

3) Call the Davidson County Senators (Davidson County is broken into 3 senate regions) and the

Gov and Lt. Gov.:

Sen. Thelma Harper: 741-2453

Sen. Doug Henry: 741-3291

Sen. Joe Haynes: 741-6679

Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey: 741-4524

Governor Haslam: 741-2001

Long live the Tennessee State Fairgrounds! And, more power to the "Red Army."

PS. Tennessee Farm Bureau is pushing this legislation in the name of "saving the state fair." They

need to hear from you as well! Ask that they put what they say they want in black-n-white and support

this amendment.

Sincerely,
Duane Dominy
District 28 Councilman
101 Cherokee Place
Antioch, TN 37013
