📣 TELL YOUR STATE SENATOR NO SALES TAXES ON EVERYTHING!
❌ 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.

📣 TAKE ACTION! Tell Denny Hoskins to Certify our Referendum!
Preliminary data from the Missouri Secretary of State's office confirms that a sufficient number of signatures were collected, in every required congressional district, to put the People Not Politicians referendum on the November ballot. Secretary of State Denny Hoskins knows we have the signatures to qualify. Precedent shows that once a referendum or petition has reached the required number of verified signatures in each of the required districts, the SOS immediately certifies it. Hoskins is trying to find ways to delay our referendum. But his delays aren't protocol, he's playing a political game. Missouri voters will have the final say on politicians' gerrymandered congressional district map whether Hoskins likes it or not.

📣 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
📅 The Missouri Secretary of State’s MAY 3 petition turn-in deadline is fixed. To ensure every signature is vetted, our internal deadline for signatures is April 19th. We have less than 2 weeks left.
‼️ If this initiative matters to you, we need you to gather signatures. If we don't hit our targets, the work of thousands of volunteers and the rights of millions of Missourians are put at risk. We are counting on you to take two steps this week:
✔️Get trained now by attending a virtual or in-person meeting or by watching a quick 15 minute video.
✔️Claim your April 7 election day signature gathering shift
With nearly every district still needing at least 10,000 signatures to qualify, we’re officially in crunch time. The signatures won’t gather themselves and the Secretary of State isn’t waiting. The finish line is in sight, and we’re counting on you to help carry us across!
