Thousands of American soldiers died in the conflict; the nation’s capital city was invaded, leaving both the White House and the U.S. Capitol in near ruins. An American invasion of Canada ended in failure. Defeat appeared to be certain—leaving the nation’s future in doubt—but down on the southern frontier Tennesseans fought and won major battles that turned the tide and made the reputation of a future U.S. president, Andrew Jackson. This conflict between the United States, Great Britain, governor William Blount (Willie’s older half-brother), Canada, and a score of sovereign Indian nations was called throughout the war. In 1813, Governor Blount raised the War of 1812 because the United States declared war over $37,000 and 2,000 volunteer soldiers to fight the on England in June of that year.

It was with incredulity that we heard of the latest overreach of this federal administration. They have no legal authority to direct schools to accommodate students with gender identity disorder at the expense of the mentally healthy enrollment. When the constitution and/or the law do not result in the advancement of their far left social agenda, they seem to resort to their preferred tactic: bullying. Bullying through threats of withholding the legal return of our pass through dollars and bullying through their unique deployment of mobocracy seem to be interchangeable weapons in the arsenal used to achieve assumed unilateral authority. We are asking you to challenge the legal authority of the federal government to enforce any “directives” or financial withholding threats contained in the guidance letter issued on Thursday, May 12, 2016. The sovereign states of North Carolina, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Texas have already filed legal arguments against this current federal overreach. Creating directives in the absence of legal authority of supporting laws must be challenged. In ever increasing ways, the federal administration has devolved into the antithesis of the rule of law.
