An Open Letter

To: Rep. Hawk, Sen. Southerland, Gov. Lee

From: A constituent in Greeneville, TN

February 25, 2025

I am writing to you today as a deeply concerned citizen of Tennessee, filled with disgust over the recent proposal of Bill SB 763. It is disheartening to witness the blatant disregard for the needs and voices of your constituents in favor of corporate interests. This bill is not just another piece of legislation; it represents a troubling trend in our government where the priorities of corporations are placed above the well-being of the very people you were elected to serve. It is no secret that many legislators seem more interested in catering to the whims of powerful figures like Trump and Elon Musk than in addressing the pressing issues that affect our communities daily. Your actions speak volumes about your priorities, and it is clear that too many in your ranks have chosen to align themselves with corporate greed rather than the people who put them in office. I demand that you vote NO on Bill SB 763. This bill threatens to exacerbate existing inequalities and undermine our democracy. It is time for you to stand up for your constituents and demonstrate that you are willing to prioritize their needs over those of big corporations. If it means distancing yourselves from influential figures who do not have Tennessee’s best interests at heart, then so be it. Our state deserves representatives who will advocate for the health, safety, and welfare of its citizens—not those who merely seek to enrich themselves and their corporate allies. I implore you to reflect on your responsibilities as a public servant and make the choice that aligns with the values we, the people of Tennessee, hold dear. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope you will choose integrity over expediency and vote against this harmful bill.
