TELLICO PLAINS, Tenn., Jan. 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- National Missions Coordinator George Raudenbush for Appalachian Youth Missions and thousands of citizens across the state are asking for the resignation of Tennessee State Attorney General Robert E. Cooper Jr. and Tennessee State Commissioner William O. Shults.

Numerous documents and affidavits filed with the Tennessee courts show the state judiciary to be involved in religious discrimination and the apparent cover up of an attempt to murder a Christian missionary. Evidence of misconduct is linked to the highest levels of state.

"We hope and pray that this gross misconduct is just isolated to members of the judiciary and some elected officials. At this time, we have no reason to believe that Governor Bredesen is involved," replied National Missions Coordinator George Raudenbush.

"It just seemed to start with a few individuals that have hate based issues against God then others got caught up in the deceit and lies which in turn triggered their lie based thinking, before long people just believed what ever they were told no matter how extreme or unbelievable it sounded. Documents were altered and falsified taking the focus off the truth while other public officials openly supported criminal activities of hate against Appalachian Youth Missions. You don't have to believe in God to know that evil exists."

Four county clerks, two sheriffs and a police chief, two district attorneys and judges in the 10th judicial district along with members of the Court of the Judiciary which disciplines bar members, the State Attorney General and State Commissioner William O. Shults are all named in court documents and appear to be involved in the cover up.

Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen was sent a certified letter last week informing him that letters were sent to both the State Attorney General Robert E. Cooper Jr. and State Commissioner William O. Shults asking for their resignations concerning misconduct and betrayal of public trust.

A press conference will be held on Wednesday January 9th at 12:00 pm at the McMinn County Court House in McMinn County Tennessee.
