TN Bill Names July As Month Of “Fasting And Prayer”

“I am grateful to move HJR0051 forward with a positive recommendation to the State and Local Committee. I believe it is important to seek Almighty God’s hand of blessing in our state. As our Founders sought His help, I think it is important to seek His help today. If we are to pass on a free and prosperous state to posterity, it will be accomplished only with His hand of blessing.” – Tennessee Rep. Monty Fritts, on his bill declaring July 2025 a “month of fasting and prayer for the physically able and spiritually inclined.” The bill advanced out of the Tennessee House Naming Committee on an 8-2 vote.

Last week Fritts sponsored a separate “chemtrails” bill that would criminalize weather control with fines of “$100,000 per violation.”

Fritts appeared here in January 2025 for his bill making it a felony for state officials to adopt pro-migrant policies.

Fritts first appeared here in 2023 when the Tennessee House approved his bill allowing officiants to refuse to conduct same-sex, interfaith, and interracial marriages.

A resolution designating the month of July as a time of prayer and fasting, to seek “God’s hand of mercy and healing on Tennessee” passed by an 8-2 vote in the House Naming and Designating Committee on Monday.https://t.co/qeOsAIT7GJ
