Response from Kelly

  • Dear Representative,
  • I'm concerned about income inequality and workers rights. CEO's make $300 to every dollar workers make and many make much more than that eg., in one case 7,000 times more. Many workers struggle to support their families. Sometimes holding 2-3 part-time jobs because employers keep hours to the level not to pay benefits. In some cases like Warren Buffet CEO's pay taxes that are less than their workers, a lot less. Corporate greed is at an all time high and they stand to benefit most from the Big (not so) Beautiful Bill.
  • More American workers were laid off last month than any month since the pandemic. More than 300,000 federal workers will have lost their jobs by the end of 2025 and more firings are planned. A large number of laid off workers are from minority groups. Veterans who fought for our country have been fired without cause. Veterans like Shernice Mundell. Who served this country in the Air Force and kept serving in our goverment for years to make sure retired postal workers got their benefits. Until one night at 11 pm an email told her she was fired. How sad. How will these families survive? How will a worker making $19,000 per year make it?
  • Workers need respect, a living wage and not to live in fear of being fired. Unions are one way to even the playing field to speakup and fight for workers rights. Consider two things:
  • 1) Stop the goverment from firing workers who support the Unions and those let go without cause.
  • 2) Support the Protect America's Workforce Act HR2550 a bipartisan bill to rescind Executive Order 14251 and restores federal workers right to collectively bargain. 
  • 3) Move to discharge HR2550 by signing Discharge Petition #6 to bring HR2550 to the House floor.

    Signs of Justice

    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...
