Hi, Mike, Chris, & Dan,

  I'm LuAnne Parrish in Corinth. I have already spoken to my state representative, Nick Bain and sent him a link to Wolf-Pac and just sent him a link to this group, so I'm hoping he will get a chance to check both sites out when the holidays have passed us by. He's a young man, but a Democrat and I'm hoping this will be the start of great things for our state and our nation, too. I am a 1978 graduate of Mississippi University for Women, which is the oldest state supported college for women in the United States, a fact that I am extremely proud of! The Seven Sisters in the northeast are older, of course, but they were all privately funded. It gives me hope that the Mississippi legislature of today might one day be as forward thinking and progressive on womens' rights as their late Nineteenth Century counterparts were...

Hi LuAnne!  Thanks so much for chiming in and introducing yourself.  Sorry it took me so long to respond, I've been beyond buried lately, (in a good way, we've got a ton of momentum)  

We should definitely try to talk soon, you can call me anytime tomorrow (Monday) or anytime after Christmas.  

Have a great holiday season LuAnne,

Hi Mary! Welcome to Wolf PAC Mississippi.  One thing that you could do from overseas is to research who might be the best candidates to introduce our Resolution based on their past stance on Citizens United/campaign finance reform.  Let me know if you'd be interested in taking on that project.  Look forward to working with you. -  Mike

As a start, I found no records on Votesmart.org for Campaign finance issues in Mississippi.  So that's a yes, I'll be glad to dig into it!  I'm also spreading the word throughout Democrats Abroad about Wolf PAC.  We represent every state in America from nearly every country in the world.  We send delegations to the DNC Convention.  So this should help even if few of us can be ground troops.  But we are a strong voice!

Let me know what more I can do and how you want me to narrow the research as it progresses.

Thanks!

this idea of getting Dems Abroad on board.  I have always felt that an underused resource is that Dems Abroad has members from all 50 states and that can be used more effectively than it has been.  I do know the guy who used to be the "lobbyist" for Dems Abroad, I will contact him to see what he thinks.  My email address is the identifying name above, plus yahoo.

Hello Wolf-Pac members,

   I posted before and said that I was coming to MS for about a week,  I live principally in Mexico, but am a USA citizen and MS resident ( I certainly pay MS state taxes without using the benefits).   I heard from one fellow who lives in/near Jackson.

This sounds pretty on-the-run, (and it is), because of the little time I have on this trip to MS,

I wanted to meet other Wolf-PAC people and perhaps go to a State Rep's office with one or more?

I will be near Natchez from June 30 to July 5.  In Jackson, for July 6 and 7, returning to Jackson about July 16.  At that time I would have a little free time for Jackson "Meets".  

  Just because I live in MX, does not mean I am not an involved USA citizen.  In fact, I have more time to be involved in my local OWS group as well as phone and online time…than many peers in the  States.  I think Wolf-PAC is our best bet to get some Common Sense and Go-Local into our

national  dismal miasma.

  Please answer with contacts if you are interested in getting together within my (apologies)

scanty timeframe.  thanks, Georgeann

Hi. I am Ken from Jackson.  We are a little slow on the get-off in this group.  But, we are getting it.  In your local library you can ask for the Blue Book at the reference desk.  It is published by the Mississippi Secretary of State.  It list your state house and senate member.  It is more accurate than the internet references. Wolf Pac is asking us to post our progress on a spreadsheet for our state as a numeric code number.  You can find a link to the spreadsheet through the hyper link inside the United States map found on the Wolf Pac home page.  Click on the state of Mississippi.

[Ken Weston]

Hello Eric,  good district maps are hard to find.  But, you and I probably have the same house and senate representative.  I sure could use the help trying to catch Coleman and Frazier.  Let me know if you need their current office phone numbers.

Hi, Phillip from Jackson. I'm a little confused by the spread sheet. It's showing that my representative, Cecil Brown, already supported previous legislation. Does this mean he is already on board and I should focus on my senator?

[Ken Weston]

Hello Phillip. The answer is no. The house resolution#108 did not pass in the 2012 session. And, resolution#108 didn't have any Republican Co - signing. Michael Monetta has asked that Wolf Pac State Legislative Resolution be introduced. He thinks the language may attract Republican support

Welcome today I present a copy of the Mississippi State resolution to my district state senator. I will have a full update after the lunch hour.

[Ken Weston]

Hey you guys and ladies,  I had a meeting with a sitting Mississippi state senator today.  He was cool if not cold.  Yet, I think we have an ally in the Mississippi legislature.  He said he needs cosponsors to grow interest about the resolution in the 2015 session.  He also said we needed cosponsors when the resolution is introduced in the 2016 session when it has a chance to pass.  2016 session is after the 2015 elections. [ you know that is what's wrong with politics] God bless 'Em

[Ken Weston]

Hey! Did you guys get an Email from the stampstampede They say call our Senator because the Senate may vote on an amendment to the United States Constitution today which is called S.J.Res.19. You can check it out at this web page: http://thomas.loc.gov/

Use e-mail or a direct phone call to Mike if you want do something in the groups name beside making phone calls.

[Ken Weston]

Today I talked with Rep. Nick Bain from district #2.  He is Mississippi's first green box on the worksheet.  He cautioned us about the MS House of Representatives procedures. They are: The speaker of the house can assign a new legislative items to any committee.  The committee chairperson can table legislation without a committee vote.  The speaker will choose which committee gets legislation based on the speakers opinion about who will table the legislation.  So we need the Speaker of the Mississippi House to help us bring the resolution out of committee.

We got two for one deal today.  I met senators Terry C, Burton and senator John Horhn. Terry C, Burton says he trust John Horhn's judgement and John Horhn supports the resolution.  That makes two out of five down.  Horhn said today that policy forbid resolution directed at the United States Congress.  But, Chairman Giles ( Jyils) Ward is a new chairman of the rules committee.  So he may not hold the same views.

Welcome Joseph. I am Ken. I am at work now but come night time I can share all I know about Wolf PAC. I can even call you. BUT you would need to send a phone number to my Gmail. Don't post it to this public website. It's cool you are interested.

Okay folks, the direct link to Senator Giles (jyiles) Ward profile photo has not the most current contact information. Please call the senator's senate office phone at: (601) 359-3250 ;and ask for his assistant Maggie Mae Berry. Assistants are always key. I need to see the senator. But you guys can leave a message about Mississippi's wolf PAC passion for a senate floor vote on senator Frazier's SC531 resolution measure

[Ken Weston]

HELLO EVERYONE,  I met senator Giles Ward's assistant today.  My bad  > 0.  Her name is Mammie Maberry And, she gave me an appointment to met the senator on Wednesday.  A real blessing ya'll.  Let us offer them both a little praise for hearing what Wolf PAC has to say.  E-mail address is mmab...@senate.ms.gov.

[Rhonda Whitfield]

Hello everyone,

My name is Rhonda Whitfield. I live in the Kiln and attend the University of Southern MS at the Long Beach Campus.  Please let me know what is going on with our politicians and the agenda of the wolfpac. As a registered voter I feel it is not only our right and privilege to vote, but also our duty to be active citizens in this political arena.

Thank you.

[Ken Weston]

Hello Rhonda Whitfield, I am Ken Weston the state director.  I am so pleased to see your post.  It has been a busy day for me; but I do check for people's post here every day.  Feel free to post your questions here or to my e-mail my e-mail box which is found on my profile.  As to your current question.  All of Mississippi's  group progress is found in the posts on this group forum.  We are not the well oiled machine-yet; but we are active.  I am new to my post.  However, I am almost ready to host a new member's slide show.  Just write a post or e-mail me when you are ready to jump into action.  I will write down some of your views and add you name to the national director's list of volunteers. Check the link in this post to see how Wolf PAC is organized http://www.wolf-pac.com/take_action

[Ken Weston]

HELLO EVERYONE, Senator Giles Ward is a very courtesy man with a great poker face.  He is so busy that he will never remember the name Wolf PAC but maybe we can change that fact.  He does know now that Senator Frazier has a State Resolution in his committee.  And, he knows that the citizens of Mississippi want him to forward resolution SC531 to the Mississippi senate floor for a vote.  We may have competition form a balance budget amendment resolution which was being debated on the senate floor yesterday.  But, that senator (whoever he was) eaten up by the members of the senate in questioning.  We must do better if we get OUR chance.  We must know our talking points.  We are coming for them- RIGHT!

[Christopher Stark]

I will probably need to leave the group. Though I still support the ideas. I am reading up on ethics and campaign laws. I am running for Senate District 3 here in MS, and I know other states have laws against coordinating with PACs, and so I want to make sure I do not violate any laws here in MS that could jeopardize getting elected and furthering our cause. I am going up against Nickey Browning. Who won as a D but crossed over to R side after election. I am still doing research on the laws here about getting newsletters and such from PACs, so not sure what I need to do and not do fully currently. But giving a heads up.

I find the Mississippi State Senate body to be a dignified group.  Success in your campaign would easily become the most proud day in your life.  Sir, may you be so blessed.

[Mike Monetta]

I know good intentions, but actually don't pass it on!  We can't use these groups to talk badly about State Legislators. In our Theory of Change the State Legislators are the good guys and a lot of times they or their staffers join these Google Groups to see what we're all about.  So let's keep the bayonets pointed at the bad guys - Congress!  If someone has to take a lot of money (even from the Koch Brothers) to get elected that doesn't mean they like that part of their job.  If they don't think big money in politics is a problem, that's perfectly fine. They are entitled to that opinion. But most likely they think something about the election system can work better (term limits, voter/donor rule, gerry mandering), and that's where the conversation should always go in this type of a conversation.  Thanks for kicking ass and continuing to line up meetings Ken, you're a warrior! Just a heads up. Thanks again, - Mike

Senator Giles Ward may be a Koch Brother in spirit. Not all Koch Brother executive leave happy.  But, now I understand why the only time the senator drop his poker face was when I said 890 million dollars from the Koch brothers in political donations was obscene.  It was right out of the talking points but likely ill advised in my situation :~(   So what I am saying is Senator Ward's Blue Book biography states that he is a retired regional manger for -Georgia Pacific Corporation-.  A Koch Brothers Industry.  PASS IT ON.

   'Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens 

can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."  - Margaret Mead   

[Sylvain Chamberlain]

My name is Sylvain Chamberlain. I live just South of Tupelo in Mississippi.

Ken Weston sent me an E-mail and asked me how I could get involved. I am an Artist/activist in that I create artworks to provoke dialog for social change. Please see http://artsylvain.com. I responded to Mr. Weston's email, but found it disappeared from my computer and any record of it in my mailing application right after I pressed "send"? I wondered for a moment if Wolf-pac has attracted Koch bros hackers... Ha! I hope this one makes it.

My thought was this....

I don't know how hard it will be to remove the mire of legislation and violations that have resulted in the idiocy of "Citizens United" and their ilk, but I would like to suggest a long tradition of change effected in the last century or so.

If there is to be for some time into the foreseeable future this criminal funding of propaganda and candidates to all offices of government both federal and state, the I believe there need be two parallel lines of attack to get the united States back to some semblance of the Country setup by the framers of the constitution.

1. Move forward with the Wolf-Pac call for a convention and create a direct attack on those regulations that provide for these egregious behaviors as well as placing legislation that would prohibit future attempts to fund propaganda and political candidates. For this to be effective I think also requires a comprehensive answer to what methodology is acceptable for campaigning at all levels of governance.
   
2. Introduce legislation that modifies existing funding avenues at all levels of moneys, direct and indirect, to campaign or otherwise promote political agenda in the following ways:
   
1. 25% of all monies goes directly to the NEA for distribution to all states for the support of local alternative exhibition spaces, artist run, untaxed, as long as a good plan of community service to the Fine arts is submitted. See my website for TRIBE fine art at http://tlkfineart.org for an example.
2. 25% additionally is to go directly to federally funded higher education for the purpose of eliminating tuition.
3. 25% is then distributed to state and federal infrastructure rebuilding and maintenance.
4. The remaining 25% is goes into a political action fund setup to pay fees and all costs of campaigning to all parties regardless of affiliation and to level out the candidacy process for all groups to end the stranglehold of the 2 party system. 

In other words, we regulate and tax the "donations" out of existence, and re-purpose that money to the places it should have gone to in the first place.

For my part, I would like to speak on the behalf of the arts, participate in panel discussions and to do this in conjunction with exhibitions of like minded artists as well as my own.

I have prepared speeches and spoken on panels in Museum exhibitions of my work to the public and to local college and high school students. I have also been a board member of artist run alternative spaces and maintained my own vigilance in this field.

Art, Love, and Respect,

 

Sylvain

Hey Wolf PAC.  I went to the capital house today.  OUR supportive senator said that the legislature passed a Balanced Budget Amendment pushed by another PAC [ALEX].  But.  Next session starts with a new legislature.  So, see the discussion called Who is a candidate in Mississippi to see if you can influence candidate in your district to support Wolf PAC state resolution if they win in your district.  To make it ultra easy for you, just look at the same file in this post.
