In a stealth move, the legislature moved the bill out of committee and BOTH chambers (House and Senate) voted on SB2681 within 24 hours. This is from a state legislature that had to call a special session last summer to approve Medicaid funding for the state. These folks don't get in a hurry for anything - unless it involves hating on LGBT people.

The Mississippi Library Association maintains a page with names and phone numbers of all state legislators. If you need a zipcode for the email form, lookup a representatives field office and use that zip.
