Tennessee Senate Deputy Speaker Janice Bowling Supports Special Session to Save National Guard Members’ Jobs

Tennessee State Senate Deputy Speaker Janice Bowling told The Tennessee Star that she supports a special session of the General Assembly in order to save the jobs of National Guardsmen who are being fired for refusing to comply with the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate.

“I expressed my sentiments to the Tennessee National  Guardsmen when I joined other legislators at the Legislative Plaza last week. I will fight legislatively for their rights to be protected,” she said. “I would gladly support a special session. If the General Assembly makes the call, we get to determine the agenda. If the governor makes the call, he determines the agenda.”

Bowling continued, pointing out that the mandate. given the lack of availability of an approved vaccine, is illegal in her view.

“We all know what Biden is threatening is illegal. The shot is EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) and has proven to have more negative reactions than positive benefits as a temporary prophylactic measure. The fact that it has been a threat is reprehensible,” Bowling said.

“We already pay the Tennessee Guard. That [Biden administration] threat should be summarily dismissed,” the senator added.

“Words matter. We should call the prophylactic shot that does not prevent acquiring or the transmission of the modified coronavirus what it is.  No version of this shot has FDA approval, much less benefit to anyone. It is not a vaccine. The president cannot mandate a destruction of constitutionally protected, God-given liberty. To attempt to do so is tyranny,” Bowling emphasized .

Previously reported, Bowling (R-Tullahoma) gave a fiery speech at the “Stand Guard” event held at Legislative Plaza in downtown Nashville on Thursday. “When a person tries to give mandates to the people, that is called tyranny, not the Republic of the United States of America. The truth will set you free and we need to call it what it is,” she said.

“In the Tenth Amendment, we hold all of the things to us that are not expressly given to the federal government. Nobody in America, even the FDA rule and the Nuremburg Code, can force an American citizen to take an experimental shot through coercion. It is basically fundamentally a crime to do that,” Bowling added.

The deadline for National Guard soldiers to comply with the Biden administration’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate was June 30.

    This wonderful woman has fought for our God given rights for years. If only she would have stepped up and ran against Governor Lee so TN would for once in many, many decades could elect a TRUE patriot and one of the only real Constitutional members of the TN Senate as our next Governor. I will AGAIN be voting for an Independent and I suggest all Tennesseans do the same thing. Neither of the R or D candidates for Governor are a good choice for TN. John Gentry will get my vote in November. In the primary I will not be voting for Governor or my state Rep., John Crawford (he too is a RINO). In November I will be voting for an Independent candidate for both positions as I usually do because I REFUSE to vote for the best of 2 evils. In the end you are still voting for evil. These men may not be evil but they are not right for TN or any elected office. You cannot make things better when you continue to make the same poor voting choices.
