Erin Smith commented on Condolences to Mayor Megan Barry and her Family 2017-08-01 18:37:48 -0500Dear Mayor Barry,
I briefly met you once when you came to speak at my workplace grand opening and my instincts told me immediately that you were an amazing person with a good heart. When I heard the news of your son’s passing my soul ached for you and your family.
I’ve battled addiction for 20 years so I know first hand what it can do to a family. I am so incredibly sorry that this happened, but I know if anyone can transform a tragedy into victory it’s you! This won’t be the final outcome. Max will live on within you and your family and I pray that brings you some comfort.
Thank you for all that you’ve done for this community. Please know that we are grieving with you and we all love and support you, just as you’ve loved and supported us. We will be here for you and whatever we can do to help you through this, consider it done.
Your Friend and Supporter,

The People's Resolution Opposing Tennessee House Joint Resolution 529 on Marriage Equality
Sign on as a co-sponsor of the People's Resolution Opposing Tennessee House Joint Resolution 529 on Marriage Equality.
WHEREAS, Rep. Susan Lynn has introduced a resolution urging the members of the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee to express their disagreement with the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges; and
WHEREAS, the Tennessee Constitution affirms "That the citizens have a right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together, for their common good, to instruct their representatives, and to apply to those invested with the powers of government for redress of grievances or other proper purposes, by address or remonstrance;" and
WHEREAS, the State of Tennessee ought to be focused on the legal equality of all its people rather than attacking the gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community; and
WHEREAS, "the equal protection of the laws" is a cherished principle in American jurisprudence; now, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF TENNESSEE, that we oppose House Joint Resolution 529 and urge the members of the 109th General Assembly of the State of Tennessee to uphold the entire Constitution of the United States, including the Fourteenth Amendment, and cease their legislative attacks on gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people.
