    “On Behalf of Region 8, the Mississippi Association of Community Mental Health Centers and the thousands of Mississippi citizens that suffer from mental illness, I want to say thank you. Your tireless efforts have exceeded our expectations. You have repeatedly demonstrated the passion and compassion necessary to achieve our desired results. Additional matching funds have been sought and fought for, for years. These results exponentially surpass any results achieved prior to your engagement, and will enable us to service thousands of additional consumers in need of service. We have developed a sincere appreciation for your candor. Our experience has been that often times, people providing lobbying services will simply tell you what you want to hear; you were forthright in identifying our strengths and weaknesses. The unanimous support you garnered from the House and your tenacity evidenced by negotiations with the Senate’s leadership will never be forgotten.”

    “Once the legislative session started we had occasion to meet with the committee chairs and several members of those committees who would be considering our proposal. To view the respect and appreciation that these members of our legislature, both House and Senate, have for Senator Thames was a wonderful thing to experience. The vote in both houses regarding our proposed legislation was evident of not only the Legislators’ tremendous respect for Billy but also Billy’s relentless effort in helping us with our proposal. Can I recommend Senator Billy Thames? You bet I can, and I look forward to my continuing to work with Senator Thames as future opportunities become available.”

    “As your friend for over 30 years, I can vouch that I know of no one with more personal integrity and trustworthiness than you. You are highly respected by all who know you and bring immediate credibility as a lobbyist - something it takes years for others to cultivate. While I will miss serving with you as a colleague, I look forward to working with you in any new capacity in which you find yourself. I value your friendship. You know that my door is always open to you, and I offer you my assistance in any way that you need it.”
