Mark Lopez signed Governor Haslam, Keep listening and oppose HB2414 2016-04-15 08:22:15 -0500This bill is bad for Tennessee and mean spirited. This is a fix in search of a problem and out right discrimination. On top of that, the implementation will result in the loss of millions of dollars in lost revenue to Nashville as a result of lost conventions and visitor revenue. Please do not sign this bill if it gets to your desk.

Mark Lopez signed Governor Haslam, Fight for trans students and against SB2387/HB2414 2016-04-01 15:41:01 -0500This is an unnecessary and hurtful bill. Please Veto it!
Governor Haslam, Fight for trans students and against SB2387/HB2414
Please, join us in encouraging Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam to fight against this attack on transgender students.
Add signatureDear Governor Haslam,
We call on you to do everything in your power to lobby against passage of SB2387/HB2414, the anti-transgender student bathroom bill. We also ask that you VETO the bill if it reaches your desk.
The bill endangers vulnerable students and it risks significant U.S. Department of Education funds to Tennessee. If this bill became law, the enforcement would be a nightmare for school districts across the state.
Show the world that Tennessee is a welcoming state. Thank you for considering our views.
