@smtravis @danabanker @aric_chokey @FreeSpeechMTSU The honor was ours. Thanks for talking to so many MTSU_SOJ students. I'm so grateful for the hard work your newspaper did in the aftermath of the Parkland shooting. Knowing the truth and facts WILL help other communities. Getting to the truth and facts is not easy. #freepress

Thank you @debfisher. You were an amazing host. It was such an honor for @danabanker @aric_chokey & myself to help support @freespeechmtsu’s vital mission to support and protect journalism.

Thanks to all the great people @mtsu and @FreeSpeechMTSU who made our visit so special. We thoroughly enjoyed our discussions with your students. Special thanks to @debfisher @kenpaulson1, keep up the great work!

@JeremyFaison4TN And because he wisely listened to his mom: "Burn had originally made clear his intention to vote "nay" in any session. However, a letter from his mother asking him to vote in favor of the amendment helped to change his mind."

Do you ladies know the importance of this TN State Representative? 24 year old Harry T. Burn cast the deciding vote that led to the ratification of the 19th amendment. Women can vote because of TN and because of Harry T. Burn.

@scavendish More important - who will be the next speaker???

Casada to resign in a few weeks. What does that do for his pension?

We ran into Susan Lynn walking to the caucus meeting. She still has confidence in Casada. “For three text messages? Please.” Asks to see our phones and Sam Stockard obliges.

@schelzig Court of Appeals decision on the Open Meetings Act was about the Tennessee Constitution giving the Legislature control over its own proceedings not that they can't pass laws affecting future lawmakers (think ethics reform). Just not laws removing control over proceedings. IMHO

@debfisher As they keep telling us, they can’t bind future General Assemblies to place themselves under Sunshine laws. But they can impose future drink limits?

Sometimes you have to get a little tough, but never lose your sensitive side

@joelebert29 @TNHouseReps @TimRudd34 I just can't get over the fact that Tennessee will be the FIRST with criminal penalties for voter registration! Very chilling. Surely there is a better way!

The @TNHouseReps finally now on the entire bill. @TimRudd34 says there's been a lot of misinformation out there about his legislation, which he notes has been amended as recently as today. He's now offering an explanation

Thank you! A fun kickoff tonight. #spj12conference
