Will Tennessee’s state sales tax go up another penny in the next couple of years? Let’s hope not, but we’ll probably find out the odds within the next two or three months. And we’ll know whom to blame when it does.

This past state legislative session there was a real political battle between the people and appellate court judges (including the state Supreme Court) over how those judges should be elected, using the term “elected” very loosely. The majority of the legislature sided with those who judge us, leaving the public with really little meaningful input and leaving us with the question of who judges the judges.

An important day for Americans is just around the corner: Religious Freedom Sunday, January 10, 2010. The importance of this day of remembrance is driven home by just how much we, as Americans, have forgotten about our heritage.

Have you ever thought, “There are so many challenges to the family and religious freedom in America today, but how can I do anything about it?” There is good news: You can help us spread the word with FACT Focus, Family Action Council of Tennessee’s newly reformatted half-page, black-and-white monthly flier, which can be serve as a bulletin insert or mailing stuffer for churches and other organizations.
