Ask Mayor Haslam to take a stand!

Mayor Haslam once joined Mayor Bloomberg's anti-2nd amendement group. Now that he is running for Governor, he says that he has seen the light and now supports the 2nd Amendment. Mayor Haslam has enough influence over City Council to see that the ordinance allowing permit holders to carry in the parks and on the greenways passes if he will make a stand. Call Mayor Haslam today and let him know that gun owners will not trust him as Governor if he does not stand up for us as Mayor.
