- Yes on 2 protects the right of Tennesseans to vote to keep or fire the judges at the end of their respective terms.
- Yes on 2 adds a new layer of accountability by having your elected representatives in the Legislature confirm or reject the Governor’s appointees.
- Yes on 2 helps keep the influence of special interest money away from our judges and out of our state.
Amendment
2 enjoys wide, bipartisan support including endorsements by the
Tennessee Sheriffs’ Association, the Tennessee Chamber of Commerce, the
Tennessee Farm Bureau, the NAACP of Tennessee, and the League of Women
Voters of Tennessee. The Vote Yes on 2 campaign is chaired by Governor
Bill Haslam, former Governor Phil Bredesen and former U.S. Senator Fred
Thompson.
Skipping the amendment on the ballot effectively counts as a "no" vote under our laws, so we need everyone to vote YES! Help us spread the word by talking to your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers—urge them to Vote YES on 2! Election Day is November 4, 2014, and early voting begins October 15, 2014.
