A Celebration of Freedom

Freedom Fest ’24 was an awesome day! Those who braved the elements to join us were treated to an amazing lineup of 28 inspiring speakers, a personal video from Marsha Blackburn, and heart-warming entertainers, capped by Shawn Farash, who was hilarious! We’ll see if we can make some video clips to share. So, keep an eye on your email and our social media channels. Huge thanks to everyone who contributed, all our dedicated volunteers, those staffing the booths and assisting our guests throughout the day. Planning is already in the works, and we can’t wait for an even bigger and bolder Freedom Fest 2025!

Prayers & Appreciation

Please join us in prayer for those suffering from the effects of Hurricane Helene. Our eternal gratitude for those working tirelessly to bring life-giving hope and supplies to the victims. 

Time to Roar

Our Knox County Commission and Knoxville City Council is now focusing your tax dollars on a joint collaboration to “reduce emissions in East Tennessee”. The Planning Commission has now hired an outside consulting company to survey our community about this project. This is a waste of YOUR money on their “climate-change” agenda. It is also in direct violation of Tennessee law via Public Chapter No 479 and Senate Bill No 1147 effective 5/17/23, which reads, “As enacted, prohibits this state and its political subdivisions from adopting or implementing policy recommendations that deliberately or inadvertently infringe or restrict private property rights without due process, as may be required by policy recommendations originating in, or traceable to, "Agenda 21," adopted by the United Nations in 1992 at its Conference on Environment and Development, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the U.N.'s proposal to reach net zero emissions by 2050, or any other international law or ancillary plan of action that contravenes the constitution of the United States or the constitution of this state.” - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 5; Title 6; Title 7; Title 66 and Title 68. This information will be emailed to all County Commission members.

PLEASE reach out to your County Commissioner, City Council member, and both mayors. Remind them of the TN law and tell them that we do not want these liberal agendas in Knoxville or any other part of Tennessee. You can also complete their survey at https://www.knoxbreathesurvey.com/ if you were mailed a survey code. Their open survey has evidently been closed.  

Keep in mind that this is in conjunction with the city’s goal of having an electric vehicle in every department by the end of the year using YOUR tax dollars. Are you making your voice heard?

Hope for the Best and…
