The TFALAC 2021 annual dinner and auction was an amazing success for conservatives in Tennessee.   TFALAC (www.tfalac.org) is a state political action committee and ALL OF ITS NET PROCEEDS are used in Tennessee to help elect conservatives in Tennessee - ALL OF IT. 

If you were not there, the TFALAC 2021 event was held at the Farm Bureau Expo Center in Wilson County.  It is likely the best venue we have used so far.

But how did we do?  We raised $68,105 at the event.  We did have a lot of expenses including the rental of the venue, the food vendor, etc., but even with all of the expenses we netted $46,926 for the PAC.  In addition to that, we have benefitted from many new members who joined TFA and member donations to TFA (seperate and in addition to the PAC fund raising) of just over $20,000.  

We are also pleased that we had so many of our Legislative sponsors and supporters at the event and that several others who could not attend were still able to make substantial contributions to the TFALAC's PAC as table and event sponsors.   And, although some might think that this is just another GOP event - it is not.  It is a Second Amendment supporting conservative event!  

As Congresswoman Marjorie Green recently noted a large part of the problem in government is not just the Democrats but it is the individuals who campaign and run as Republicans but then ignore their campaign promises and oaths when they get in office.  We see that year after year in Tennessee with Republican office holders who refuse to vote to fully restore your rights as protected by the Second Amendment - indeed it was the RINO GOP members who actually blocked REAL constitutional carry this year in Tennessee not the Democrats.  Those RINOs are doing and have done in the last decade more damage to the effort to remove the infringements on the 2nd Amendment in Tennessee than the entire Democrat caucus combined! 

Many of you have asked if we have the video available of Doug Englen, the TFALAC guest speaker in 2021, available.  We are pleased to announce that Doug's entire presentation is online and can be viewed on the TFA's main website - https://tennesseefirearms.com/2021/09/tfalacs-guest-speaker-douglas-englen-comments-on-president-joe-bidens-incompetence/

We want to thank all of you who purchased tickets, participated in the auction, were vendors and our sponsors at the event. All of these worked together to raise the funds that we will use to support the right kind of conservative candidates and to help remove those from the legislature who are failing us.

We are also excited to announce that we have scheduled the 2022 TFALAC Annual Event will be Saturday, September 3, 2022 (I know it is Labor Day Weekend again) and that it will be at the Farm Bureau Expo Center again.  We are already so thankful that some of our sponsors have already said - "count on me again!" for 2022.  If you are a sponsor or a vendor and would like information on participating in 2022's fund raising, please feel free to contact me directly (johnharris @ tennesseefirearms.com)

Again, thank you for all the support.  The hard work this year has the PAC ready with over $100,000 in funds as we move toward the 2022 election cycle.  We know from the disappointments with the failure of the Legislature and Government in 2020 and 2021 to support REAL constitutional carry that there are a number of incumbenents that need to be replaced and we are working now with candidate training classes and political advocacy courses (for activists) to locate and support those candidates.

Finally, reserve the date - September 3, 2022 - for our next major fundraising event.  If you would like to help host events in your area between now and then, let us know and we can discuss how we might be able to accomplish that!
