LEGISLATIVE ISSUES CONCERNING CHILDREN
Become a better informed, actively involved parent, grandparent, teacher, or citizen
to help provide the care and protection for children that they deserve.

Children are our only hope for continuation of a strong, free, and economically competitive America. Our children depend upon adults for love, nurturing, protection, education, and guidance. A strong family is the backbone of our civilization. Both children and the family are under attack today.

Therefore, I create this Web page to enhance communication between me and persons who love and wish to protect children and strengthen the family. Two sections are posted in this Web page:

  1. Contact information for suggested legislation--
    Let me know what child or family protection laws that need to be added, rescinded (removed, deleted), or amended (changed, modified).
  2. Participation in my blog and other links--
    Communicate with your neighbors to learn about child care and protection issues.

1 CONTACT ME ABOUT NEEDED LEGISLATION, CONCERNS, OR QUESTIONS...

What new law do we need?
What existing law needs to be rescinded (deleted, removed)?
What existing law needs to be amended (modified, changed)?
What concens or questions about children do you have?

Send me any idea about a law you think we need to enact in Tennessee. I will carefully consider your comments, and I may introduce a bill to try to enact your idea.
