Recently on WGNS Rutherford Magazine Show heard Sunday nights at 5p.m. on 100.5 FM, 1450AM and online at WGNSradio.com I had invited guests Joni Bryan, Director and founder of the 917 Society, Nashville attorney Ramona DeSalvo and John Taylor, a Franklin realtor, both of whom are leaders with the Convention of States. Both leaders were in studio to talk about the COS initiative for Constitution Day and how we all can work together with others like 917 to share the Constitution with the next generation.
I appreciate the passion and conviction of these three American Patriots and their grassroots efforts to bring much needed awareness to the importance of our United States Constitution.
The 917 Society’s mission is to empower every 8th grader with the knowledge of their individual freedoms and provide them with their very own lasting copy of the U.S. Constitution as a “rite of passage” into American Citizenship and celebrate Constitution Day each September 17th.

Last year I attended the 917 Society’s Fundraiser. I was glad to see many Tennessee state leaders speaking and in attendance—especially my friend Rep. John DeBerry. Sadly, John DeBerry, the 26-year state lawmaker was removed from the ballot by the Tennessee Democrat Executive Committee.
