Sample Email Scripts:
“Hi, my name is [Your Name] and I live in [Your City]. I’m contacting you as your constituent to voice my dissent toward H.R. 28, S. 9, or any other bill that unfairly restricts Transgender & Intersex athletes from competing.
Studies show that Transgender women and girls have no inherent advantage in athletics, and there are no sports, especially in Mississippi, in which Trans athletes are sweeping podiums. In fact, there are only a handful of schools and universities in our state that even have Trans athletes in women’s athletics.
I urge you to drop your cosponsorship of S 9 and vote NO on HR 28 so you can begin to tackle real problems facing Mississippians like me - starting with underpaid teachers and our ranking of 30th in education.”
