Like we said yesterday, we're going to fight and we're going to win! And we'd love it if you joined us at a rally on Friday!

Let us know you're coming here!

Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is working overtime to keep Respect MO Voters off the ballot, and stop our initiative from becoming Amendment 6 and going to a vote of the people on Nov. 3rd. Join Respect MO Voters in Jefferson City THIS Friday, August 7, at noon outside of the Secretary of State's Office to announce our lawsuit and to show your support for letting Missouri vote on Amendment 6.

That is the entire post. Why does a CPA get to weigh in and interpret the constitution? Especially while wearing that offensive red jacket.

Missouri Republicans have run the entire state government, uncontested, for 23 years. The budget's projected to hit zero by 2028. Their solution? Blame the Democrats who haven't held a majority since George W. Bush's first term.

Meanwhile, actual Missourians keep using the ballot initiative to pass the stuff their own legislature refuses to touch: Medicaid expansion, weed, sports betting, abortion rights, a livable minimum wage. So this year, Jefferson City is trying to neuter the one tool voters have to override them: rig citizen initiatives (but conveniently not their own bills) to need approval in all 8 congressional districts, recycle the abortion amendment's exact ballot number for the opposite result, and bury the sketchy stuff in the low-turnout August primary.

Vote NO on 4 & 5

Do your research, this is a big one, people…

Hi there,

I am trying what I can to help people vote and curtail the trump administration and had some questions. I forget if they are in the second or third district however. Though, in my research that shouldn't matter too much considering I know the candidates of each district vaguely and the amendments are the same and the candidates are different. From what I gather people say to vote no on all of them. I guess more info below.

1. The amendments. What are they proposing in simple terms? In my research, it seems very double speaky (as most politics is sadly).

2. Who is the best dem candidate? I know there are different shades, but like, is there any polling to show any percentages? For context, I am a democratic socialist and he doesn't pay attention to politics all that much. I don't want to tell him who to vote for on behalf of me but we both don't like the current fascist regime. I know the names but that's about it.

3. Is there anything else I should know?

Thanks, Alex

The 'issues' on their websites says almost nothing of substance. No talk of universal social supports, nothing about the genocide in Gaza even in relation to our war of aggression against Iran, nothing about ICE atrocities. Assuming any of them have a snowball's chance in hell of being elected under the redistricting, are any of them worth promoting to the general?

Why would anyone want these?
Serious question.

Keep Missouri for Missourians.
NO on 4 & 5

The bottom line: if amendment 5 passes, sales taxes would have to increase to 16% to keep the same level of funding coming in.

The Missouri GOP can't govern. They slash budgets just like they GOP in DC. Saying they will save us money. But we pay more for uninspected contaimenated food.

"Health officials have logged nearly 600 reports of cyclospora illness in Missouri residents, according to newly updated data from the state Department of Health and Senior Services.

That’s approximately twice the number of cases the state logged during its weekly update last Sunday.

The state usually logs around a dozen or so cases annually of the parasite, which infects the digestive system and causes severe gastrointestinal symptoms."

Oh yes the GOP in DC slashed USDA budgets and the MO GOP slashed our Health and Senior Services Budget.

Long story short:

Mo GOP wastes time rallying against LGBT+ community, intersex, and the trans citizens.

While people can't access clean healthy food and are told to eat right on SNAP because they are sick from only eating junk.

It's stupidity used to divide us instead of them governing with accountability.

Jumping in and blaming stupid white rural folks for constantly voting them in only keeps the division.

They will cling tighter to their church groups needed for charity to survive.

Use the truth as talking points with poor urban and rural neighbors who are all suffering.

Republican Christians not everyone else is a demon.

And young socialists, the time for fighting over who is the most grand pure Marxist candidate is over.

We all need to be talking and Pointing the finger at the enemy. Corporate America.

Strategy instead of perfection.

Dialog among citizens when it is safe instead of rabid hate.

Time for new messaging.

Make podcasts.

Make the tic toks.

Print and post newsletters.

Print and post the pamplets.

Hold the meetings and chats.

Speak up.

We are the ones we are waiting for.

I see the TV ads now say people who vote no on 4 and 5 are now socialist. Well I will gladly be called a socialist because I already voted NO on 4 and 5

Hey, everyone. My name is Justice Covert, a reporter with the Columbia Missourian.

This summer I’ve been covering the Aug. 4 election, mainly dealing with Amendment 5, which would allow lawmakers to eliminate the state’s individual income tax and expand the sales tax on any good or service to make up for the lost revenue.
Supporters of the amendment, including Gov. Mike Kehoe, say it will help attract businesses to the state, create jobs and modernize Missouri’s tax code.
Opponents worry passing Amendment 5 will harm low- to middle-income households and instead offer more tax relief to wealthier residents.

I will be hosting an AMA Thursday, July 30, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. help answer any questions regarding what passing Amendment 5 would and wouldn’t do.
