The Tennessee Conservative Staff –
Yesterday, August 11th, Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles released a Proclamation calling on the Tennessee General Assembly to convene a Special Session to address Governor Bill Lee and his “continued abuses of power”.
In the Proclamation Mayor Ogles calls on the General Assembly to defend freedom, liberty, and individual rights by addressing the following:
- Limit the powers of the Governor of Tennessee and his abuse of Emergency Powers using unconstitutional executive orders, which infringe on the liberties of the citizens of this state.
- Protect the children of Tennessee from forced mask-wearing and respect the individual choices of parents to manage the health and wellbeing of their own children.
- Protect ALL people of Tennessee from forced vaccination for COVID-19 whether by government or businesses both as consumers and employees.
In the proclamation, Ogles acknowledges the seriousness of Covid-19 and gives a reminder that Covid is treatable with sophisticated treatment protocols, therapeutics and that vaccines are widely available.
Ogles criticizes Governor Lee’s “indecisiveness and half measures which have subjugated parents and their children to out-of-control school boards and superintendents, liberal Mayors, and a complicit Commissioner of Education.”
“At a time when truly conservative Governors are aggressively fighting against both local AND federal assaults on our freedoms, Governor Lee is taking the twisting path to appease the Left and their allies,” said Mayor Ogles.

In addition to calling on the General Assembly, Mayor Ogles asks Tennesseans to have their voices heard and to reach out to their legislators.
In closing, Ogles states, “It is time to stand, … And when the final lots are cast and we are measured against history, I pray that we will have preserved freedom for generations to come. And if we are to err, let us err on the side of freedom. The choice is ours, and I choose freedom. “

Governor Lee, it is time to wake from your trance and start prosecuting leaders who put the freedoms of Tennesseeans Last in their agenda. You signed EO 80!! Now put some Teeth in it. Shark Teeth! These people need to know and understand they Cannot override your decisions. If you do not want to do these things or do not have the guts then Please, swap places with SD Governor Kristi Noem. For a woman, she has a spine twice the strength of yours and I would take her over you for governor of TN any day of the week and twice on Sunday!!
