Remember this when the Mayor proposes a property tax increase on regular Nashvillians the next time his budget comes before Metro Council for approval; the next time he defends that tax increase by saying, "We have no other choice if we want to fund Metro services":
Metro Council rubber stamps another Karl Dean property tax giveaway to a big corporation
My Comment: I agree. We are giving away the store and taxpayers will pay with a tax increase.

“The conservative movement now has more people who are communicating and using the new media in ways that give us more opportunity to get information that with the traditional media that wasn’t available,” he told about 30 Republicans over world-famous Swett’s Restaurant cuisine including those biscuits.

Is this part of Agenda 21?
La Vergne to outlaw parking on front-yard grass
and this?
Black bears spread across Tennessee
No one has told me this is part of the Agenda 21 conspiracy, but look at it: La Vergne is in the process of taking away the right to park cars in your front yard and the state is allowing the expansion of wild bears into areas occupied by people. Is this favoring nature over people? Is it an attack on the American way of life? Is it an attempt to get people to give up their cars?
After reading about the case in Murfressboro which was exposed as part of Agenda 21, I think I am getting pretty good at spotting Agenda 21 policies. In Murfressboro, a guy changes the use of a piece of commercial property from a fencing
company to a restaurant and when he does so he is told by city officials
that he will have to pave the parking lot and have more parking spaces.
This was offered by Rep. Rick Womick as an example of how our property rights are being taken away as part to
the Agenda 21 UN conspiracy.
I figure if that is part of Agenda 21, then the two examples I spotted today must be part of Agenda 21. If there are any of the 72 state representative who voted for House Joint Resolution 587, which denounced Agenda 21, or any John Birch Society members or other experts on Agenda 21 who could tell me it the two items I have listed are part of the Agenda 21 conspiracy, I would appreciate it.
I have started reading Agenda 21, but have only read the first two chapters of the 40 chapter study and have not gotten to the scary parts yet. I will continue reading, but it is really, really boring.

| Rally for Religious Freedom, Nashville |

| Richard Land |
The rally was a testimony to the ecumenical nature of the fight for religious liberty. I remember a time when Catholics and Baptist would not have occupied the same stage. Several nuns were in the audience and several people attending the rally held signs which would indicate they were Catholic. Other speakers and a singer, were probably protestants but their religious affiliation was not mentioned. The closing prayer was by a Lutheran minister. |

This was a pretty boring meeting. There was no soaring rhetoric, or sharp exchanges and nothing in the video is worth watching, but here it is. Below is a summary of the most important actions of the Council at this meeting.
Ordinance No. BL2012-118 which would provide property tax abatement for
the Gaylord-Dollywood snow-water park, passed first reading without discussion. Since this bill has been talked about so much, I thought someone would object on first reading, although that is not normal done.
This afternoon, the death tax bill was amended to fully repeal the tax by 2016. It passed the House Finance Subcommittee by unanimous voice vote and now goes to the full Finance Committee, and if it passes there, it will go on to a vote by the full House in the coming weeks. This amendment to completely repeal the death tax had the support of the Governor.
"We know this tax drives people, capital and jobs out of the state. We know this tax splits up family farms that have been in the family for generations,” said House Speaker Beth Harwell.

The following was sent from Councilman Tony Tenpenny
Good Morning everyone,It is fashionable among elites and liberals to bash Walmart. I like Walmart and think Walmart is good for the American consumer. I am pleased to see a Walmart open in the Berry Hill neighborhood, not far from where I live and work. I probably won't visit more than once a year however as I just hate to shop, but it will be nice to have a convenient Walmart in case I need it.
I wanted to let everyone know of the generous charitable contributions the new Wal mart Store that moved in our district on Powell Ave have given to some of our great organizations in and around our district.
All of the following organizations received $3,000.00;
- Wright Middle School,
- Boys and Girls Club,
- Junior Achievement (located on Powell Ave),
- Nashville Rescue Mission,
- Ingram Cancer Center at Vanderbilt.
A big Thank You goes out to Walmart for these donations and I look forward to working with Wal Mart on future projects in our district.

In this story, a guy changes the use of a piece of commercial property from a fencing company to a restaurant. When he does so he is told by city officials that he will have to pave the parking lot and have more parking spaces. The business owner is appealing to the Board of Zoning appeal. Is this an example of how our property rights are being taken away as part to the Agenda 21 UN conspiracy or is this simply an appropriate exercise of government planning, zoning and codes authority?
Business owner angry Womick cited store as example of UN Agenda 21
MURFREESBORO — The owner of Papa’s Butts and BBQ Hot Sauce Store said Friday he is “livid” over Rep. Rick Womick using his restaurant as an example of government overreach to pass a resolution rejecting United Nations Agenda 21.
Dan Wilson, who is preparing to seek a parking lot variance from the city’s Board of Zoning Appeals for his business at 2910 Old Fort Parkway, said he is working with city officials to solve the matter and was upset that Womick mentioned his business during debate Thursday on the House floor in Nashville. read more
