Bills to legalize homebrewing in the State of Mississippi have been introduced. They have both been referred to Committee. Now is the time to contact your Representatives and Senators concerning the Bills. Legalizing homebrewing in Mississippi has a real shot at passing with everyones help.
The Bills have been introduced by Senator Baria (SB 2717) and Representative Moak (HB 732). The contact info of the Chair and Vice Chair of the Committees that the bills have been referred to are listed below. Written letter and phone calls are more persuasive than emails.

Of course, talking with any of the member on either Committee would be helpful, especially if they are Representatives or Senators from your area. In addition,
contacting your local Representatives and Senators and letting them know
where you stand will help when the Bills come out of Committee. Please be polite and professional.
Here is a link to find your local officials:

This is time sensitive - we need to get the word out fast and clear.
Gary Glass, Director of the American Homebrewers Associations (AHA) and the AHA itself is in full support of this issue and has been very helpful to RYP to get the Bills to each House. Gary will be getting information out to the 20,000 AHA Members to help spread the word. Here is a link to the AHA's talking points to help you:

We also have permission to say that they are in full support of our efforts.
Thanks!
