- Tax relief for Tennesseans, Fiscal Responsibility for state spending and removing unnecessary and burdensome regulations.
- Healthcare reform, providing medical freedom and treatment options for patients, removing the government from the doctor patient relationship.
- Protecting parental rights and Tennesseans from government overreach.
“New state and federal regulations are punishing doctors for not sticking to the official cookie-cutter approach to pain management. My doctor feared the government. Fear can make people do terrible things.” “I ended up finding a better treatment option on my own,” Morrell said explaining the effectiveness of a natural treatment that is increasingly supported by medical studies.
