DescriptionAlphaPatriot has an extensive report from Tom Leatherwood’s speech before a meeting of the Tennessee Firearm Association in Memphis. Leatherwood is a Republican 7th District challenger to Congressman Marsha Blackburn:

Questioner cited NAFTA, CAFTA, the UN, and asked if Leatherwood was familiar with the North American Union concept. Leatherwood responded that this is a legitimate concern. He cited the example of boiling a frog one degree at a time, which is what he said is happening to our sovereignty and our liberty, “one ill-advised law and bad treaty at a time”. He said that the people have to get involved, and they have been quiet too long. He believes that we are just a few short years away from going from the greatest country in the world to just another has-been country. On the other hand, Leatherwood feels the same energy that was present in 1992 when he beat a 27-year incumbent and again in 1994 when Republicans took Congress.

Leatherwood said that we need strict constitutionalists on the Supreme Court to strip away freedom-eroding laws and return us to the concepts on which this country was founded.
