MS is ready to change the flag (not all of us, but an ever increasing #). We've reached our tipping point. We are past time.
Legislature should do it without referendum.
A campaign would be risky, divisive and costly.
It's time!

Just read your tweet again. You say the GOP is responsible for bringing down the flag. Have you talked to anyone down here? I’m a Republican, but the truth is Dems led on this issue for decades. The GOP helped finish the deal, but let’s give credit where it’s due.

I love the South, but Jesus said “love your neighbor as yourself.”
My natural & Southern inclination is to hold tight to the past, including things my great-great grandfathers fought for.
But MS’s official state flag doesn’t represent all of MS, not even me. It’s past time

Turnout is hard to predict, especially in runoff. Impressive turnout for both MS candidates yesterday
CHS had 87.1% turnout compared to Nov 6 gop total. Espy had extraordinary 101.3% of D total.
Had CHS hit a very respectable 74.4% it would have been 50/50

And here’s another video of Yazoo’s Main Street at about 1 pm today. We’re proud of our little town. It’s not perfect, but we are rooted in it and striving to make it a better place. I hope you’ll reconsider your methods for educating people on towns & people you don’t know.
One thing I've seen travelling Middle America: so many towns now have dead centres.
This is Main St in Yazoo City, Mississippi (pop 11,063) at 8am this morning. Buildings for sale, broken windows. Most/all activity now outside town centre.
Hope it never gets this bad back home.

There has been a material shift in popular opinion on the flag in last few weeks.
This week is truly an historic opportunity for the legislature to take a bold step towards uniting MS and brightening our future.
It’s time!! If not now, when??
I’ve been involved in politics my entire life and I have never before seen a tsunami of support for ANY issue like we’re seeing today for changing the flag. It’s truly a fever pitch. Let’s do this, Mississippi!

Mississippians are rightly proud & excited about the historic vote to change our flag.
It was the right thing to do; it puts us on a different trajectory.
"It's Time" captured this part of our story.
But how do we convert a powerful moment into a powerful future?

I live in Yazoo. I’m sorry you only rode down our Main Street and proclaimed us a dead town.
The town is full of wonderful people and stories. Sorry, you missed them. Are we struggling? Yes, of course, but folks around here like the place and would welcome you back if you’d stop
One thing I've seen travelling Middle America: so many towns now have dead centres.
This is Main St in Yazoo City, Mississippi (pop 11,063) at 8am this morning. Buildings for sale, broken windows. Most/all activity now outside town centre.
Hope it never gets this bad back home.
