Where as the children of this grand State, are the most valuable gift we have.

Where as it is the duty of all citizens of Tennessee to protect our children.

Where as Sexual offenders are often repeat offenders.

Where as, the Southern Party of Tennessee wishes to protect and better the welfare of all Tennessee citizens.

Let it be resolved the Southern Party of Tennessee push to have Jessica’s Law passed in State government. With the following as part of Jessica’s Law “a minimum of 25 years in prison for anyone over 18 years of age who is convicted of sexually assaulting a child under the age of 12, mandatory GPS monitoring for life, and a mandatory life sentence for anyone convicted of a second offense.”

My name is David W. Durrett, and I am writing this open letter to explain some of my reasoning behind joining (and supporting) the Southern Party of Tennessee.

I have watched, with growing trepidation, our God-given rights, as American citizens, slowly eroded, and taken away, piecemeal, over time. Every right that has been taken away, has never been given back, in the entire course of human history, without having to be fought for. Yet, we all are easily misled into giving our rights away, in times of stress, such as after the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, or the attack on New York on Sept. 11. We do well to remember these dates, because each has changed America, and not necessarily for the best. After each of these events, we, as a people, freely gave away rights to personal freedoms, for a "war effort". Yet, the difference between the two events, and the course our country took afterwards, should be alarming to those who love freedom.

In the aftermath of the attack on New York (which I refuse to trivialize by naming by its date), several of our freedoms were usurped by the "homeland security act". We all wish to be secure, but the question remains, at what cost? I feel that the loss of so many of our personal freedoms, especially as regards personal privacy, in this age of information technology, is too high a price to pay.

In response to this Federal invasion of our individual rights, I feel it is time to gather together with like-minded individuals to start to seek redress.

The best way to make our voices known is to stand up, in Tennessee, for the rights of all Tennesseans. I believe that the Southern Party of Tennessee, and its platform, represents my interests, and those of our fellow Tennesseans, better than any other.

Tennessee has proven itself capable of taking care of its citizens, better than the Federal Government, Time and again. I think we need to put the power of government over our lives, and freedoms, into more local hands. Our Federal Government should be in the business of taking care of only those things given it by the Constitution, and not interfering with our lives, on a State, Local, or Individual basis.

I also feel it is time for our fellow Tennesseans, to take our rightful place in shouldering the responsibilities of protecting our interests. That is why I support the Party Platform, for I feel it is in the best interests of the inhabitants of Tennessee to do so. Although we welcome all of those immigrants, who desire to come to Tennessee, and share in our quality of life here, they must realize, as our own ancestors did, that they are entering an established culture, which welcomes those willing to integrate themselves. Illegal immigrants, especially those unwilling to integrate themselves into society, must be seen as the detriment they are, to other, legal immigrants, as well as to our society in general. I feel that taking the step to name English as the official language of Tennessee, is a step towards integrating our fellow immigrants, to the rich culture we already share.

Speaking of our rich, shared culture, I am strongly in favor of supporting, and promoting, the pride in our history that often is pushed aside. It is important for us to promote the remembrance of our history, for our history leads us into our future. Our rich heritage should be a source of pride for all, as we see over and again, the results of the efforts of outstanding groups, and individuals, in Tennessee history.

I could go on, but I feel I have stated what is important to me, and why I feel that the Southern Party of Tennessee is my choice, and the choice, for the Future of Tennessee.

Racism has existed since the beginning of time, in every culture. However when one race tries’s to reconciliate their transgressions an era of peace begins. Yet, even after 138 years of slavery being abolished, and the passege of the Civil Rights Act some people just can’t get over the fact that whites have tried to make things better. I am talking of course about the Black Caucus. They have placed themselves in position of segregated power and refuse to allow people membership based totally on the color of their skin.

I would like to offer my support to Rep. Campfield, he has confronted the Black Caucus and called them out.

It is sad when the discriminated become the discriminators. After all the progress Black law makers show themselves to be just a racist as that most despicable group the KKK.

I ask all of you to give Rep. Campfield your support and please let the Black Caucus know how you feel.
