2nd NFRW KEEP NINE CALL TO ACTION!!!!

Dear TFRW Members,

Back in January the NFRW Legislation Committee sent a resolution to the RNC and to each state Federation of Republican Women to direct the state Federations to seek legislative sponsors in their respective state's legislative chambers to present a "Keep Nine" resolution of support to their state's legislature for adoption.

In February, the following Keep Nine Call to Action was sent out to all TFRW members in an Iris Messenger.
Thanks to your response to the February Call to Action, the following has occurred.

  • Tennessee General Assembly has passed House Joint Resolution 0065 and Senate Joint Resolution 0049 in support of preserving the Supreme Court in both houses.
  • Governor Bill Lee has signed HJR65, but SJR49, which has the teeth, has passed the Senate and is sitting in the House and not heard yet.
  • U.S. Senators for TN, Senator Marsha Blackburn and Senator Bill Hagerty, have signed the Keep Nine Amendment, Senate Joint Resolution 9.

Just yesterday, NFRW President Ann Schockett took to the airwaves with an another urgent Call to Action in response to court-packing bills introduced by Democrats in the House and Senate. President Schockett described the move as a blatant power grab and attempted "hostile takeover" of the Supreme Court.

President Ann requested that all Federated Republican Women:
  • Call your elected officials – NOW - and tell them that you, as a constituent, are opposed to packing the Supreme Court
  • Ask them to support the Keep Nine Amendment to permanently shut the door on court packing. 

Currently,
  • Congressman David Kustoff, TN 8, Congressman John Rose, TN 6, Congressman Chuck Fleischmann, TN 3, Congressman Tim Burchett, TN 2, and Congressman Diana Harshbarger, TN 1 have all signed the House Joint Resolution 11 - The Keep Nine Amendment in the U.S. House 117th.
  • The Keep Nine Amendment now has the support of 132 U.S. House Members.
  • If YOUR member of Congress is not listed above please contact your member of Congress today!

Thank you.
