This is it folks. Our bill to raise the alcohol content allowable in beer sold in MS is before the Senate Finance committee. It must receive favorable action by Tuesday 19 February or it’s dead until next year. The reality is more urgent that that, however. The bill is up for consideration in the committee this Thursday 14 February. That’s the day after tomorrow for those of you not paying attention.
That means the fate of this bill will be decided the day after tomorrow!
If we are to have any chance at this we MUST have citizens pick up the phone and call the members of the committee now. This is how democracy works, people. If we don’t get a lot of people involved immediately this will end and MS will be stuck in the neo-prohibitionist doldrums for another year.

Thanks for helping to spread the word, but it’s kind of rude to copy a post and not even link to the original post much less credit the author.
Hey sorry Butch. I’ll correct it. I usually do reference back to the original; I think I just got in a hurry that afternoon.
No problem. The important thing is the support for SB 2851. Keep up the good work.
