Tomorrow is our deadline folks… contact your legislators if you have not already.

Raise Your Pints Action Alert!
Raise Your Pints supporters,
The deadline for committee action is upon us. All bills must be out of committee by this coming Tuesday, February 2. If they survive committee, then they move on to the appropriate floor for discussion, vote and possible transfer to the other house to repeat the process (committee approval, floor discussion, vote). At this time, all four of our bills are stalled in committee.
If you want to see Mississippi brought up to par with all other U.S. States… NOW IS THE TIME for your action.
We need as many people as possible to contact the individuals listed below who will decide the fate of these bills.
