Reply from Bennie Thompson.  I sent a letter requesting a Town Hall.  This week’s letter suggestions are below Rep Thompson’s reply  

August 20, 2025

Dear Ms. Tuchel:

Thank you for your idea to hold a town hall meeting in Tunica, MS. For decades, I have hosted the Mississippi Policy Conference in Tunica, MS. For participants, this annual event represents a gathering of influential business leaders, state and federal policymakers, and grassroots activists united in their goal to create a more equitable and just future for all. For town residents, it serves as a powerful reminder that while certain state lawmakers and leaders may overlook this community, we will never turn our backs on it. It is my greatest honor to serve this community, and I will not rest until every resident has the means to obtain affordable food, healthcare, and education. 

As I began to coordinate my next town hall events, I intend to share your idea with my staff. Thank you again for contacting me, and I hope you will continue to share your views. Please visit my website at https://benniethompson.house.gov to learn more about the Second Congressional District, issues impacting its citizens, federal resources, and much more. If I may be of further assistance to you, please contact me by calling any of my offices.

Sincerely,

Bennie G. Thompson


 Letter #1 by Anonymous & BT

(Get a Life)

Dear Senator Wicker:


Recently you were caught on tape telling a gathering to stop sending cards and letters to you and “to get a life”.  

 

How dare you tell us to “get a life”! Our lives have been affected negatively under the present administration, and we’re all very worried about the future of our country. 


We all have busy lives with personal and professional responsibilities. But we make time to call your office because we are beyond upset about what you are allowing Trump to do to this country.  You should be grateful that we care enough to be in touch with you. 


We call and write to you because we’re angry to see how seldom you speak up about  corruption and manipulation of the truth in the Trump administration. It seems that Republicans in Congress, yourself included, are doing nothing but bowing down to Trump’s every  demand. 


I hope you’re ashamed of what you said and that this letter will serve as a wake-up call to do a better job for Mississippi. 

 

​​​​​​​​Sincerely,


Letter #2 by RBT

(Off Your Knees)

Dear Senator Wicker:

You are busy promoting what appears to be most valuable to you: your seat in Congress.  Your focus needs to change as you seem to not place much value on your constituents and their needs.

You are kneeling before a false and deceptive god. The knees of your trousers are covered with filth, sir.  I ask that you get off your knees and stand for what the citizens of this great country honor and value.

Sincerely,

And here’s a little something extra from Hyde-Smith:

(Hallway Interviews)


Dear Senator Hyde-Smith:  


You don’t do “hallway interviews”?  Really?!


You have a communications director?  All we ever hear from you is a cut and paste letter that doesn’t answer any question…EVER. 


Starving people in Gaza is not a laughing matter. 


You need a Public Relations professional.

Once you’ve sent your letter(s), send an email to me with “Letter Committee” in the subject line.  The only thing that needs to be in the body of the letter is:

Hyde-Smith: Subject of letter (# of letters sent)
Wicker: Subject of letter (# of letters sent)
Kelly: Subject of letter (# of letters sent)
Thompson: Subject of letter (# of letters sent)

Need help?  Send me an email. Please put “Letter Committee” in the subject line. My email address for this project is:

Perhaps letter writing is not your “thing”.  What do you think about mailing 3 postcards per month…one each to your Senators and one to your personal Representative? Signs of Justice has a project to send 12,000,000 postcards to Congress.  There’s that 12,000,000* number again. (*This number was taken from a Harvard study that found we need to activate 3.5% of the population to affect non-violent change). The Signs of Justice campaign is called the Majority Project.  They are asking participants to address and mail the 3 postcards mentioned above on the first day of the month and to repeat this activity every month.  They have created a postcard for this purpose: Visit the Signs of Justice website for more information and/or to order or download your postcards.  https://www.signs of justice.com/ Please let me know if you are going to participate in this postcard campaign. We would like to track the number of cards sent from Indivisible DeSoto MS.

This is a letter we received to protest the outrageous school choice legislation.  Please take the time to send your letter to Speaker Jason White and please let me know you’ve taken action.  jwhite@house.ms.gov August 25, 2025   Jason White, Speaker Mississippi House of Representatives 400 High Street Jackson, MS 39201 VIA HAND DELIVERY   Dear  Speaker  White:   I write to express my disapproval  of any legislation that would  use Mississippi taxpayer dollars to fund private schools.   Among my concerns about any  prospective  “school choice” bill are the following:   ▪  Transferring taxpayer dollars from public to private schools will only reverse the educational gains reflected in the “Mississippi Miracle . ”   To argue that “school choice” would improve upon these  remarkable outcomes seems counterintuitive at best, and disingenuous at worst  ( see  https://www.ncpecoalition.org/vouc...

Letter #1:  Impeachment/Removal of the President  By KJ & BT The U.S. Constitution, in Article VI, mandates that all federal officials be bound by oath or affirmation to support our Constitution. The core of the oath of office is a pledge to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.  Donald Trump needs to be removed from office either by Impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Clearly, Trump is not mentally capable of performing the duties of the President of the United States.   There is never a wrong time to do the right thing.  The time is now. Sincerely, Letter # 2:  28th Amendment By BT The Equal Rights Amendment has been ratified by 38 states.  However, the Archivist of the United States has not published the ERA Amendment as part of the Constitution due to concerns about the extended and expired deadlines.  Please convince the Archivist to publish the 28th Amendment.   If someone ob...
