State Chapter: Tennessee

Welcome to FreedomWorks Tennessee!

Our mission is to turn ideas and policies into action. Those ideas can never succeed unless ordinary citizens are willing to stand up and fight for them...

Our goal is to help ordinary citizens play a greater role in the government decisionmaking process, letting no cause involving their own rights and freedoms be lost by default.

Let's work together to fight for less government, lower taxes and more freedom in Tennessee!

Join Tennessee FreedomWorks, where our members are creating a strong grassroots presence across the entire state. Help us win the fight!

Res. 27, a 'resolution of disapproval' that would allow Congress to overturn the costly Cross State Air Pollution Rule, which is part of the EPA Train Wreck.  This costly new regulation will cost $2.4 billion annually and threatens to take 7 gigawatts of power off the power grid—enough to power 7 million homes.
