🔎Find your legislator here: https://www.senate.mo.gov/LegisLookup/Default

HB2592 PASSED HOUSE & SENT TO SENATE (restore voting rights to those on probation and parole) Tell your Senator to vote YES!
HB 2125 PASSED HOUSE & SENT TO SENATE (requires data matching with DOR to include citizenship info; reinstates SOS's investigation and subpoena power)

HB1871 - ON CALENDAR FOR PERFECTION IN HOUSE (expands no-excuse absentee voting; allows provisional voting for all elections)

HB2124 - PUBLIC HEARING HELD (places limitations on petition circulators, including requiring them to be US Citizens and Missouri residents, limits ballot language challenge to Missouri voters, prohibits being paid based on number of signatures collected) Tell your Representative to vote NO!
URGENT! ACT NOW! - STATEWIDE
🚨NO SALES TAXES ON EVERYTHING!
📣Tell your MO State Senator to VOTE NO! on HCS HJRs 173 & 174!
🔎Find your legislator here: https://www.senate.mo.gov/LegisLookup/Default
The MO House passed HCS HJRs 173 & 174 and now it is in the MO Senate.
🚩The proposal is to PHASE OUT the state’s individual income tax and REPLACE REVENUE by expanding the sales tax base! Raising taxes ON EVERYTHING!
‼️ Expanded Sales Tax: To offset the loss of income tax revenue, lawmakers would be authorized to tax more services and digital goods (e.g., streaming services, accounting fees) that are currently exempt.
❌Raising revenue by sales tax is REGRESSIVE because it especially burdens those with less income and least able to afford the higher cost.
❌ Life will be MORE $$EXPENSIVE for nearly ALL Missourians.
🗳️Voter Approval Required: If passed by the legislature, the plan would go before voters on the August or November 2026 ballot.

NOW - NATIONAL
🚨TELL SEN. HAWLEY & SEN. SCHMITT - VOTE NO ON THE NEW S.A.V.E. ACT!
☎️ Phone: (833-346-1779)
🔥The new S.A.V.E. Act already passed the U.S. House and is now in the U.S. Senate. This law could keep MILLIONS from voting! If passed, the new S.A.V.E. Act would:
❌Require Americans to provide documentary proof of citizenship - either a passport or an original copy of their birth certificate - when registering to vote, and any time they update their voter registration. More than 21 Million American citizens don't have access to those documents.
❌ Especially burden military voters, tribal voters, rural voters, survivors of natural disasters, communities of color, and married women who have changed their last names.

RESPECT MISSOURI VOTERS
WHO WE ARE - Respect Missouri Voters is a grassroots, volunteer-led campaign working to protect the citizen initiative process and make our government work for everyday Missourians. Our goal is straightforward but vital - pass a state constitutional amendment to protect majority rule in Missouri. Join our campaign to pass a ballot initiative for a state constitutional amendment that will BAN politicians from:
Overturning initiatives that voters have already passed
Attacking citizens' ability to use the initiative process
Deceiving voters with confusing ballot language
