This is what is up for vote, not the crap we have in PA:
As to the amendments, amendment 1 (http://ballotpedia.org/Tennessee_Legislative_Powers_Regarding_Abortion,_A mendment_1_%282014%29). Basically, our state supreme court used failed logic to say that the constitution somehow guarantees a right to an abortion. It doesn’t. So, if amendment 1 stopped after the first sentence, I’m OK with that. But it goes on to say that legislators can legislate it. The folks supporting yes on 1 are lying when they say that abortion clinics are not regulated. They are. I’ll still vote for it because the first sentence is correct.
Amendment 2 (http://ballotpedia.org/Tennessee_Judicial_Selection,_Amendment_2_%282014% 29) is where we stop electing judges and the executive appoints them. I like this because it plays into that whole separation of powers thing that I am a fan of.
Amendment 3 (http://ballotpedia.org/Tennessee_Income_Tax_Prohibition,_Amendment_3_%282 014%29) prohibits employment and income taxes. **** yeah. Sign me up.
Amendment 4 (http://ballotpedia.org/Tennessee_Charitable_Gaming,_Amendment_4_%282014%2 9) lets veteran based groups hold gambling events for fundraising at the discretion of the legislature. No. Special groups of people should not get special privileges. Either we all can have such events or no one can. I do note that, currently, 501c3s can do this.
