On a beautiful October 21st, 2022 Friday evening, Convention of States Action (COSA) participated in a ‘Rally to End Child Mutilation’ at the War Memorial in Nashville, TN. Unlike most other rallies that COSA has partaken in, this rally, sponsored by Matt Walsh, aligned more with the COSA’s spirit of self-governance.
Universities, medical professionals, pharmaceutical companies, teacher’s unions, and our government are colluding in what is currently legal child mutilating—a pure case of the evil crony capitalism produces.
Matt Walsh exposed the esteemed Vanderbilt University for participating in and promoting child mutilating (gender-reaffirming assignment, as they’ve called it) for “huge profits” to the school.
So, how does this work?
Your adolescent child goes to school, and rather than thinking or believing they are Superman, an astronaut, or a princess, they show signs of femininity if a boy or masculinity if a girl. The teacher and/or social worker at the school encourage the behavior and begins to persuade the child that they may be a boy in a girl’s body or a girl in a boy’s body.
Note: In our society, we do not allow a child to drive till they are at least 16, vote or smoke cigarettes, get tattoos till 18, and drink till they are 21.
However, once a child affirms their mistaken identity, the “professionals” spring into action. They will convince the parent(s) that they must allow these medical specialists to perform gender-affirming reassignment procedures on their child, or they will likely commit suicide. And in some cases, they will start performing gender-changing procedures behind the parent’s backs.
Back to the Rally
Nearly three thousand people showed up to listen to an all-star panel of speakers, including Matt Walsh, Mark Meckler, Marsha Blackburn, several state representatives, and others. In addition to COSA showing support in great numbers from several states, Alliance Defending Freedom, the Proud Boys, and of course, local communities were also present.
The presenters were brief, and the entire speaker portion of the rally lasted only an hour and fifteen minutes. Although volunteers from COSA began showing up with flags, banners, and rally shirts about three hours early, more than several hundred people were already there, including the supporters of child mutilations.
Some notable comments from the speakers are as follows:
Matt Walsh: “There is in this state and all across the country a conspiracy to target and indoctrinate our children into the cult of gender ideology…a cult that convinces them that gender doesn’t exist.”
“As Tennesseans, do we believe in castrating our children…do we believe in drugging and mutilating kids…are we going to allow this in our state…are we going to sit back in silence and allow our kids to be victimized?”
“They’re affirming confusing. They’re affirming despair.”
“This is a battle of good vs. evil.”
Landon Starbuck: “They (this evil movement) want to take the children away from their parents who refuse gender-affirming care; who refuse cutting off the healthy breasts of their children.”
“They are here to sexualize our children.”
Mark Meckler: “The time for talk is over. This is the time for action.”
Tulsi Gabbard: “Those in power are denying the existence of women. They are seeking to erase us as an entire category of people…they are denying the existence of objective truth.”
“We have people undermining the parents. Using the threat of the rule of law to take away their rights and responsibility to raise our kids. Forcing compliance and trying to silence those of us here to speak up and fight for our kids.”
Rep William Lamberth, Tennessee Majority Leader: “We need to make surgical mutilation illegal…make it illegal once and for all.”
“An entire woke industry has emerged advocating to allow children to define their own disorder and prescribe the remedy.”
State Senator Jack Johnson, Majority Leader. “In Tennessee, your children will never be forced to get the COVID shot. We’re going to ban permanent life-altering medical procedures. We will get it done; you have our word!”
Senator Marsha Blackburn: “We will take this (movement) to every state in the nation.”

Self-Governance
One of the greatest strengths that made America great was her ability to self-govern. Noting that humans are seriously flawed, self-governance isn’t possible without a full reliance on God. Unfortunately, too many Americans have rejected God’s authority and can’t govern themselves. This is why a tyrannical government has been welcomed in our nation today. An ungodly oppressive government will naturally bring corruption, immorality, and the acceptance of anyone’s beliefs. This will bring chaos, requiring the corrupt authorities to swoop in with the sword to corral the people.
Volunteers for Convention of States Action are working hard to call a convention to propose amendments to put the tyrannical federal government back in the box where our Founders’ put them. This is important work; however, equally important is changing the hearts and minds of “We the People.”
This is why COSA has partnered with Patriot Academy to teach Americans how to be self-governed citizens. So we can empty the swamp and elect honorable men and women to serve in Washington, D.C., but as Ben Franklin said: “Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
In an interview with Levi Preston, one of the last remaining soldiers in the Revolutionary War, was asked why he fought a war against the greatest military ever assembled. His answer was:
“Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had been free, and we meant to be free always. They didn’t mean we should.”
