Valentine's options (created from popular song lyrics)

Front of card: Message:
You’ve lost that loving feeling Policies that target immigrants are bad for all Tennesseans. Bring back the love for a welcoming Tennessee.
What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me Please oppose policies that separate families and tear apart communities.
Love is a battlefield Many immigrants flee war-torn countries. Please don’t subject them to more battles here.
You’re the one that I want  We need your support to build a strong and welcoming Tennessee.
