The GOP majority in the Missouri Legislature is trying to undo your vote and silence your voice! Time to fight back!
Senate Joint Resolution 38 - Seeks to undo Clean MO reforms approved by voters
Clean MO Amendment 1 government transparency and redistricting reforms were overwhelmingly approved by voters in 2018
SJR 38 would allow extreme partisan gerrymandering

House Bill 1559 - Partially repeal minimum wage law

HB 1559 was passed by the House and is now in the Senate
Call your Senator to vote NO! on HB 1559!
House Bill 2173 - Changes the laws regarding marriage and replaces marriage licenses with contracts of domestic union
In 2015 the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in the United States
HB 2173 sponsor Rep. Adam Schnelting says he wants to remove the government from its role in legally sanctioning marriage.
HB 2173 could put at risk more than 1000 federal benefits attached to the institution of legal marriage including social security, Veterans benefits, surviving spousal benefits, and more, and is likely unconstitutional.
HB 2173 was passed out of House General Laws Committee
Tell your Representative to vote NO! on HB 2173!
