Well, I have committed a big WHOOPS. Justin is aware of my penchant to locate verification for info in guest submissions for the blog. Ergo a few hours after he sent me his very awesome and informative post “Stop the Refugee Resettlement Program,” Justin sent me a rough outline of his notes for the essay submitted. I did not get to that email until today hence committing a grave injustice to Justin Smith. So yes I did my typical thing adding a few clarification links. Below is that outline that better associates the thoughts of Justin than I did in my info links. If I guessed correctly with my info links trust me it was purely coincidental. I should be brash and something like, ‘Great minds think alike.’ BUT trust me, Justin is the thinker here.

'Is only U.S. state not importing refugees getting ready to cave?' by Leo Hohmann October 5, 2014
6. Paragraph six:
“It raises the issue whether the state or Congress should pay the costs of the federal program.”
I met personally with Mrs. Joanne Bregman [In the original post I somehow misspelled her name as “Bergman”] on October 26, 2014 at the Victory Life Church in Murfreesboro, TN and she once more made this observation, just as she had last year. We also spoke in depth regarding this situation and as it pertained to Don Barnett, who is a mutual friend and Brentwood, TN native, and his upcoming appearance in Cheyenne, Wyoming, which took place on November 2nd near the Capitol steps.
7. Paragraph seven: Mrs. Bregman gave these same stats during her presentation, but here is a link for readers:

The statistic regarding four thousand Syrian refugees applying to come to the U.S. in 2015 is from The Washington Post: 'U.S. to greatly expand resettlement for Syrian refugees' by Ann Gearan September 30, 2014:

16. Paragraph eighteen: A direct quote from Joanne Bregman at the ACT for America meeting on Oct 26, 2014 in Murfreesboro, TN from her speech/my notes.
17. Paragraph twenty: In 2013 Tennessee Representative Rick Womick and Senator Bill Ketron proposed TN HB1326/SB 1325 requiring reimbursement from these private refugee resettlement programs if they received federal money. I have personal knowledge of this because it was a major point of contention in the State Legislature and I am a personal friend of both Senator Bill Ketron (since our days at Middle Tennessee State University) and Representative Rick Womick (who I have attended numerous political events with).
