HELP SAVE TENNESSEE JOBS AND SMALL BUSINESSES – SAY NO TO WINE IN GROCERY STORES!
Dear Tennessee Legislature,
Please say NO to wine in grocery stores. If this bill passes, small Tennessee-owned wine and spirits stores will be forced to lay off employees or close their businesses.
I am a Tennessean who believes that Tennessee jobs are much more important than increasing the profit of out-of-state grocery chains - especially during these tough economic times. Put Tennessee first and vote NO.

Seeing one hundred people sign this gives me so much hope for the neighborhood shops I know and love. My own family store relies on these protections to survive and I am truly grateful that so many neighbors understand what is at stake.

My local shop is the heart of this neighborhood and watching these giant chains threaten their survival keeps me awake at night. We need to hit that next milestone right now so the legislature understands that real families depend on these small businesses.

My local shop is the heart of our community and I refuse to watch these jobs disappear to benefit massive corporations. We are nearing a hundred signatures and your help pushing this over the edge will show the legislature that we are truly paying attention.

THESE BIG CHAINS DONT NEED MORE PROFIT. My neighbor owns a shop and this will ruin his family. Vote NO.
Keep the grocery stores focused on food. We have enough liquor stores already that actually know their products. Leave them alone.
Please dont let these out of state chains kill our jobs. not everything needs to be convenient if it hurts neighbors.
i enjoy going to my local shop where the staff actually helps me pick out a good bottle. grocery stores wont care about anything except selling cheap stuff in bulk.
Bad idea for TN. Keep the jobs local.

Why do we have to change everything? Local businesses make this state what it is. Support the small guys for once.
