We received the following information in a forwarded email. If you've thought that you would like to support Governor Walker in Wisconsin but couldn't make the trip, here is a chance to support a Governor facing similar protests and he is just a short drive down 65.

A message from Anne Weaver to all members of ALABAMA Smart Girls! on Smart Girl Politics!
Okay, we are gearing up to support one of our neighbors, TN in their Capital of Nashville on March 5th from 11 am to 4 pm on Legislative Plaza!
Go the bottom of this email for the bills that are in the TN legislature.
The NEA UNION and the TEAMSTER UNION will be protesting several TN education bills that are currently making their way through the TN General Assembly. It is of vital importance that we make our voices heard and that we make an effort to have an effective counter protest.
We need your support: Saturday, March 5
East Side of Capitol: Large Grassy hillside fronting James Robertson Parkway
Time: 11:00 am CST NOTE: The Union group will assemble at Bi-Centennial Mall and will walk by us to Legislative Plaza where they have a permit to protest.
Do not be confrontational. Be focused on fiscal responsibility and be in support of our effective teachers and school children.
Bring Correctly Spelled Signs to Reflect Values.....Not Vulgarities.
The Tennessee Tea Parties are organizing this event! It is very important we have a big turnout.
Please, get this info to all the Tea Party Patriots and state leaders! The media will be there in force and we feel that a big crowd would make a huge statement. If you need to contact the organizer, please feel free to at 423-284-4250, his name is Donny Harwood, Organizer with TEA PARTY OF BRADLEY COUNTY!
Here are the bills that are in legislation:
