HB615 John DeBerry

Seasoned veteran of the House, Representative John DeBerry brought the House to its feet - he truly was the ‘lion that roared’. He told us that this question was greater than the question of the Bible being designated the state book. He said that as Americans and as Tennesseans we were at a crossroads, forgetting our own identities. He challenged us to ‘Stand for something, stand for something - or fall for anything.’ I have only witnessed what I would call ‘moments of greatness’ in the legislature maybe 3 or 4 times. It is saying a lot to say that Representative John DeBerry was the center of two of them. Watch this and you will cheer!
