Bloomberg on Parade

His armed bodyguard was sentenced to seven years for attempted murder.

His AstroTurf  bus tour group is calling the Boston bomber a victim of gun violence.

This guy is like a gift.

One thing I want to caution everyone to be careful of is following false leads to where the next bus tour stop will be--unless you can validate it with an email from the No More Names/MAIG group, I'm seeing signs that some with an agenda may be spreading disinformation to send gun activists on wild goose chases.

The best way to validate is to sign up for notification yourself (noting which states the bus will tour to).

  1. I've signed up twice, but I'm not seeing anything sent to the email addy-no updates, no confirmation, no begging for money/texts/phonecalls to reps etc.

    Am I missing something?

  2. I haven't either, although they may recognize my edress. My guess is they will only contact you a day or so before they will be near your zip code.

    No More Names

    No --

    This Saturday at 10:00 AM, the No More Names bus tour will be stopping in Raleigh to read out the names of those killed by gun violence and to demand action from our leaders.

    Will you join us?
    Yes -- I can make it to the rally!

    I can't make it to the rally, but I'll support the No More Names Tour by pitching in $33 or more.
    Here are the details:

    What: No More Names Rally

    When: Saturday, June 22nd, 10:00 AM

    Where: Moore Square Park
    200 South Blount Street
    Raleigh, NC 27601

    The bus departed from Newtown, CT six months after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, commemorating those killed with guns -- and determined to turn the tide on six months of inaction from Congress.

    In each state where the tour stops, it's up to supporters like you to speak up for laws that protect our communities from future tragedies. So please join us at the rally on Saturday.

    Thanks for all you do,

    Mayors Against Illegal Guns


    P.S. -- We are planning to read the names of those killed by gun violence in 25 states across the country. But the bus will only keep running with your support. Please pitch in $33 or more today:
