We request your help to erect a statue of Dolly Parton at the state capital building in Nashville, and all you have to do is add your name to the petition! :-)

If there’s only ONE thing everyone can agree on, it’s that Tennessee’s Sweetheart, Dolly Parton, is the most talented and beloved human being on Earth!

Just 5’ tall, but packed with enough talent for someone 100’ high! Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actress, author, businesswoman, and beyond generous philanthropist. Her lists of never ending amazing accomplishments would take up a library and her sparkling sweet charm would power all the lights of Vegas! Blessed with the voice of an angel and the heart to match! 547 gold records! 321 hit singles! 97 Grammy Awards! 17 Oscars! 675 Humanitarian awards! (these are just guesses, but I’m sure we're not far off)! And, of course, Nashville’s First Lady!
 

You’ve probably already heard that there’s an groundswell of interest in removing a bust of a KKK leader now on display inside the Tennessee State Capital and replacing it with a bust of Ms. Parton, but we think it should be taken a step further! Kick the KKK to the curb, and put a life-size marble statue of Dolly right at the front steps for all to enjoy!

Common Questions
Why the angel and heart tattoos?

A little know fact about Ms. Parton is that she’s covered in tattoos. Can you remember the last time you saw Dolly Parton wear a sleeveless dress or strapless gown? It's been decades. Her celebrity friends have let the secret out though Dolly herself is shy on the subject.

​

Why Nude?

God made nothing more beautiful and dignified than the human body, which He especially designed in His own image and likeness. God's own Supreme Beauty is reflected in the human body as well as the soul. What better example to showcase His work than the most stunning women that has walked under His sun? As for this method of artistic representation, to harken back to classic Greek sculpture, by the fourth century BC, Aphrodite — the Greek goddess of love — was regularly sculpted naked. Who is more “The Goddess of Love” than Dolly?

​

Why the Big Hair?

You know who Dolly Parton is, right?

 

Our Goal:

To collect ONE MILLION signatures on this petition and make a dream a reality! When we present this overwhelming record of the will of the people to the Mayor of Nashville and the Governor of Tennessee, they will have no choice but to see the light of reason!
