Tomorrow night at 6 pm the county commission will pass Georgias first Second Amendment Sanctuary County Resolution at 6 pm at the County Courthouse in the Jury Assembly room. The commissioners need to see local citizens support.
Commissioner Natalie Crawford appeared in a Super Bowl ad last year with Stacy Abrams. Reports are that she has gone soft on the resolution and will vote no on passage.

Habersham is leading the way in the 2A Sanctuary County movement in Georgia. Presently there are about a dozen counties in the process of approving this resolution.
The process is simple in a county that is not infested with liberals. The document below is a copy of the Habersham County resolution that is adapted for your counties name to be inserted.
