Welcome to the New TRA Website
|
The Tennessee Republican Assembly (TRA) is a socially, morally, and fiscally conservative group of individuals committed to strengthening the Republican party by upholding the traditional, Republican ideals that represent the American founders’ original intent. We believe in God, family, and country. We support policies that expand the rights, liberties, and responsibilities of the individual and that reduce the size and spending of government.
|
Our work includes making the Republican Party stronger by registering voters, recruiting members, developing party leadership, endorsing candidates, supporting officials who share our beliefs and principles and monitoring their voting to assure that they are remaining loyal to our conservative values.
The TRA was chartered under the National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA), which has a 70 year history of success as a true grassroots organization. The NFRA is our nation's oldest and largest Republican volunteer organization. President Ronald Reagan said that the Republican Assembly is,"The Conscience of the Republican Party." The NFRA is the national umbrella organization for all of the nationwide state Republican Assembly organizations. |

The TRA invites and welcomes all Tennesseans to join the Republican Assembly leadership movement that values tradition and principles over politics. We understand that not all will agree with our mission or accept our invitation. In addressing this fact, President Reagan wisely counseled that, "A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs, which must not be compromised to political expediency or correctness, or simply to swell numbers.... And if there are those that cannot subscribe to these principals, then let them go their way." We are confident that the beliefs and principles espoused by the TRA are shared by the majority of Tennesseans.

Thank you to all the volunteers and attendees who made this years convention a rousing success. This event would not have been possible with out so many great patriots lending a hand and supporting our quest for a return to principled conservative leadership in government. If you are not yet a member of the Assembly please consider joining today. We also need your financial support of the TRA-PAC so that we can support conservative candidates for office in 2014. Thank you again and we look forward to another year of growth and your active participation in the Tennessee Republican Assembly. |
The Unaffordable Care Act
SCOTUS has found the Affordable Care Act (OBAMACARE) including its individual mandate that virtually all Americans buy health insurance, is constitutional. There were not five votes to uphold it on the grounds that Congress could use its power to regulate commerce between the states to require everyone to buy health insurance. However, five Justices agreed that the penalty that someone must pay if he refuses to buy insurance is a kind of tax that Congress can impose using its taxing power. That is all that matters. Because the mandate survives, the Court did not need to decide what other parts of the statute were constitutional, except for a provision that required states to comply with new eligibility requirements for Medicaid or risk losing their funding. On that question, the Court held that the provision is constitutional as long as states would only lose new funds if they didn't comply with the new requirements, rather than all of their funding.
Folks this country is gone as we once knew it. It is time to hunker down. We need to be prepared to cling to our guns and religion. That may be all we have left. John Roberts of all people was the swing vote in this.
Additionally, to add insult to injury the TNGOP sent out a text saying that the individual mandate was stuck down. They continue to show how disconnected they are from most of the conservatives in this state. I was watching the feeds live and knew the results prior to their message. What planet does the TNGOP live or the RNC for that matter?
We must mobilize and go to the ballot box and elect conservatives in August and not the lock step party kool aid drinkers whose main goal is to get reelected. This decision was set in motion many years ago when party loyalty and politics on both sides of the isle became more important than the bedrock principles this country was founded on. We need to send conservatives to Washington to kill the ACA in August. It is the only chance we have left. Then we must keep sending them so that this never happens again. Sorry Republicans but you are as much as fault as the Democrats on this one. You ask why - because your partisan pollitical actions led to democrat majorities and a democrat president that passed this unconstitutional piece of garbage.
