James Reesor alias Tennessee Elijah has a state trademark on the world renowned phrase “MUSIC CITY USA” (1969-2010). I also have the newer abbreviated version “MCUSA” (2008).

Politics being less than ideal, instead of the Governor (1998) and Nashville
Mayor responding to a hand-delivered prospectus by agreeing to a meeting as I requested, someone notified the Department of Commerce and Insurance
Securities Division instead. They served me with a subpoena. (I guess they wanted information about my proposed project the easy way).
My 509-page presentation given to the officials was filled with confidential,
innovative business ideas. My information was provided and then apparently
scrutinized by them for their own private reasons before being filed away by the state for future reference. I never heard from the
investigators or any other person about this matter up to this day. Among the
pages they examined was this statement:
“Looking at my MCUSA project from a Spiritual perspective, the State
of Tennessee
has become an adversary rather than a supporter of my endeavors. God is
not happy with those who seek to obstruct me!”
My primary objective was to establish a socioeconomic and political entity
for the purpose of bringing a transformation of hearts and minds on an international
level -- thus making possible a transition to peace and prosperity.
Needless to say, this proposed multi-billion-dollar project came to a screeching
halt because of rejection by those who are in authority. Since that time a few
years ago, Tennessee has gone into economic decline -- just as I predicted.
Had they taken time to read my messages, they might have discovered what happens
when Elijah encounters friends and enemies, thanks to the power of God over my
life: "As I go, So goes the world" "Blessed are they who bless Elijah; cursed are they
who curse Elijah" -- believe it or not!
My dozens of interactive concepts included international
communications, MicroNation villages for educational purposes and the
largest tourist attraction in the world. The recommended banner to have been
promoted was -- “Historic Lifestyle Preservation & Cultural Heritage Education.” This very unique and idealistic theme never got further than words on paper. Participation
by political, business and religious leaders was not an option that
nations were given, because the conventional thinkers of this state where I reside did not heed the call from an unconventional prophet. As I learned from this experience, Moses could lead God’s children out of Egypt
on the way to the Promise Land, but I couldn’t lead one Governor out of his self-centered
comfort zone.
The authentic “MUSIC CITY USA” state trademark that I own will now be assigned to the highest bidding Country Music
fan who might like to own a controversial souvenir. This once-in-a-lifetime
experience, based on documented facts, would be a newsworthy expose, but a book
would only make a few Tennesseans famous instead of teach them how to respect
new ideas from visionaries. As we know, Christians are supposed to Love enemies
-- not write books about them!
Meanwhile, for the sake of sharing
my MCUSA experiences, take a look at the following pages to see if any of my ideas might
have made life a little better on this planet had I succeeded!
