Fentress County Democratic Party

Fentress County Democratic Party We are the local representation of the Tennessee Democratic Party. We are the local branch of the State Democratic Party. Our Chairperson is Caren Wheeley.

We meet the third Thursday of the month in the small courtroom of the Courthouse at 6pm. We stand for progressive ideas and a future of income equality. Issues we are promoting include affordable health care for all, food and housing security, a strong public education system leading to a competent workforce, a government accountable to all its people, not just the super-rich, and a woman's right

to choose, which we believe leads to planned families and a more nurturing atmosphere for our children.

Well, Haggerty responded to my request to vote NO on the SAVE Act. GRRR What a jerk.

"I am pleased to join my Republican colleagues as a cosponsor of the SAVE Act, commonsense legislation to ensure that only Americans participate in our elections by requiring proof of citizenship. It maintains the states’ constitutional authority to administer elections, while simultaneously protecting our citizens’ right to vote from being diluted by ineligible voters, a serious concern in light of the Biden Administration’s egregious facilitation of millions of illegal immigrants crossing our borders. ...

"The American people delivered a strong message to Washington by electing President Trump. Throughout his campaign, President Trump ran on the commitment to restore the integrity of American elections. He recently signed Executive Order 14248, entitled “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” which requires proof of citizenship on voter registration forms, and also prioritizes prosecution of election crimes and elimination of foreign interference in elections.

"The bedrock of our republic is fair elections in which all Americans can trust, and that requires ensuring that only legal voters can vote in them. As your Senator, I look forward to continue working with President Trump and Senate Republicans to advance the SAVE Act and other legislation to strengthen election integrity.

This is the clearest description I've seen of the changes being made to SNAP in TN. The thing is that some of the federal SNAP cuts found in the Big Awful Bill don't apply until after the 2026 mid=term election so this might not apply for long.

The Tennessee Department of Human Services announced updates to SNAP work requirements for Able-Bodied Adults Without Dependent.

Someone asked at the last meeting when and where are the demonstrations, here's one that might interest you:

FYI -- A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. There is to be no civil disobedience. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. There are folks there with whistles and they will blow them loudly if attention/ help is needed.
