Fingerprint Bill gets dusted

From our friends over at “Let Freedom Ring Tennessee!”

Freedom Rings for SB2153 opponents today. The controversial bill that would allow police officers to fingerprint offenders in lieu of a signature was pulled by it’s sponsor due to a lack of support. A big thanks goes out to our friends here that participated in defeating this terrible piece of legislation. Today’s victory gives credibility to the idea that freedom lovers can band together and fight bad bills through mass email and call campaigns. My contacts indicate that there was quite a bit a pressure being put on the Senators by members of the freedom movement. Be proud that you were a part of it. One should remember how this bill kind of sneaked its way through the house by an overwhelming majority, but when we put the sunshine to it and started getting after the Senators it quickly lost support. I personally believe that if it wasn’t for the persistence of our group and others that the bill would have breezed through the Senate also.
