JACKSON, Miss. - Mississippi Capital City Pride has withdrawn volunteer support for the Mississippi Book Festival.
They made the decision after learning former Vice President Mike Pence would attend the event in Jackson to promote his book, So Help Me God.
We felt like, as an organization, we couldnt volunteer this year because hes everything that we are against, said Jason McCarty, with Capital City Pride.
The organization has, in past years, hosted a breakfast for the writers. But because Pence, a presidential candidate, has been outspoken about his opposition to same-sex marriage and supports a nationwide ban on gender-affirming care for trans minors, they pulled out of this years event.

ALEX JONES: And, boy, what do you think people see my children, they're bright-eyed, they're bushy-tailed, they have electricity in their eyes, they hardly ever get sick and then you see all these other sickly kids taking the shots and the parents buying into it, but numbers show they went from 30% not taking vaccines four years ago to now, something like 60% are refusing in Europe and about half in the U.S. People woke up, man. They know now it's poison. They know it's a fraud, and more are waking up all the time. So we're saving lives together! And I hope LeBron James does the right thing now.
Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you. Big news next hour: Elon Musk came out and said he thinks it's the shot. He thinks LeBron James is from the shot. Elon Musk suggests 18-year-old Bronny James' cardiac arrest due to vaccine injury, myocarditis." Yeah, you can't stop the signal. You thought Alex Jones was a problem? Now you got Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson, and Joe Rogan on your ass. Hahahaha the Lord works in mysterious ways. Praise God. Praise Jesus. Thank you for your holy spirit, Lord.

Did you read about the flood?
It happened long time ago, in a little country town, way back in Mississippi
It rained and it rained, it rained both night and day
The people got worried, they began to cry,
"Lord have mercy, where can we go now?"
There were women and there was children, screaming and crying,
"Lord have mercy and a great disaster, who can we turn to now, but you?"
The great flood of
Tupelo, Mississippi
It happened one evenin', one Friday evenin', a long time ago,
it rained and it started rainin'
The people of Tupelo, out on the farm gathering their harvest,
a dark cloud rolled, way back in Tupelo, Mississippi, hmm, hmm
*sung*
Wasn't that a mighty time,
wasn't that a mighty time?
Wasn't that a mighty time,
a mighty time, that evenin'?
It rained, both night and day
The poor people that had no place to go, hmm, hmm
A little town, called Tupelo, Mississippi
I never forget it and I know you won't either

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day
I was out choppin' cotton and my brother was balin' hay
And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat
And Mama hollered out the back door "y'all remember to wipe your feet"
And then she said "I got some news this mornin' from Choctaw Ridge"
"Today Billy Joe MacAllister jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge
And Brother said he recollected when he and Tom and Billie Joe
Put a frog down my back at the Carroll County picture show
And wasn't I talkin' to him after church last Sunday night?
"I'll have another piece of apple pie, you know it don't seem right"
"I saw him at the sawmill yesterday on Choctaw Ridge"
"And now you tell me Billie Joe's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
And Mama said to me "Child, what's happened to your appetite?"
"I've been cookin' all morning and you haven't touched a single bite"
"That nice young preacher, Brother Taylor, dropped by today"
"Said he'd be pleased to have dinner on Sunday, oh, by the way"
"He said he saw a girl that looked a lot like you up on Choctaw Ridge"
"And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge"
A year has come 'n' gone since we heard the news 'bout Billy Joe
And Brother married Becky Thompson, they bought a store in Tupelo
There was a virus going 'round, Papa caught it and he died last Spring
And now Mama doesn't seem to wanna do much of anything
And me, I spend a lot of time pickin' flowers up on Choctaw Ridge
And drop them into the muddy water off the Tallahatchie Bridge
