Add signatureDear Speaker Ramsey and Speaker Harwell:
We oppose a special legislative session to consider an anti-transgender bathroom discrimination law. It is never justified to spend the state's time and money to advance discrimination. Thank you for considering our views.

Alex Pierce signed VETO Hate Bill 1840, the Counseling Discrimination bill 2016-04-09 04:18:31 -0500I served in the US Army Special Forces for 12 years.
Registered republican for 30 years
I did not serve this great country because of ability to discriminate, but for our ability to work together and unify as one country with many different people.
To legislate ‘hate’ or any discrimination (as we have done before with people of color for years/decades) is not really American. One has the right to practice any religion they wish, but it is not the country that tolerates discrimination.
Imagine a muslim man working at the DMV and not issuing drivers licenses to females. We can see the slippery slope from here if we allow religion to change the laws of the free-land. America is Great, lets keep it that way!
Alex Pierce PA-C (Army SF Medic & Communications Sergent 1983-1996)VETO Hate Bill 1840, the Counseling Discrimination bill
Please, add your voice and urge Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam to veto this discriminatory bill.
Add signatureDear Governor Haslam,
We urge you to veto HB1840, which allows counselors to turn away clients based on the counselor's biases and values. This bill puts the focus on the desires of counselors rather than on the needs of clients, damaging the counseling profession and putting clients at risk.
An anti-bullying amendment was stripped from the bill in the House Health Committee leaving youth vulnerable in areas where mental health services are not widely available.
Thank you for considering our views.
