1. Real shame. GOP rep. said they objected to the 'terrorist' designation.

At least Dem. Clemmons tried.

Has this been successful in other states, esp. the more Red ones?

One was passed here in Virginia!

But my birth state, Tenn., cannot muster the decency! What the heck does that say about the state I'm preparing to move back to?! (The only things pulling me back are the Smoky Mtns and a few very liberal friends.)

I did find this...

"The Southern Baptist Convention rejected a resolution condemning the alt-right movement and white supremacy at its annual meeting in Phoenix, Arizona."
