Unfortunately, it seems that three of the five Tennessee Senators are either immoral jerks or were paid a lot of money, and the Ag-Gag Bill passed the Senate. (Click here for my previous post about this.)
So now it's going to the House. GET YOUR LETTERS IN IMMEDIATELY!
Per Robin P. on our Facebook group, they have amended the bill saying that it applies to people who intentionally photograph/video, etc. the situation. It wouldn't apply to someone who just happens to capture abuse on their camera when photographing/videoing anything else. Well, whatever--it's still a problem. The photographer/videographer must also report the violation to the law enforcement agency with "jurisdiction" over the alleged offense. Let's note that this means the sheriff could easily alert the abuser if they are in cahoots.

Tips for writing your letter:
1. Use your personal email address or call - phone calls and email addresses are what go through the best.
2. Make it short and to the point.
3. Do not use cuss words or angry language.
4. Point out the same issues I pointed out in my previous post about this bill.
We need to see this bill stopped in its tracks! And we need all the help we can get! PLEASE call or write!
