NOW - STATEWIDE
📣 TAKE ACTION NOW! Tell Denny Hoskins to DO HIS JOB! 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.
🚨URGENT FOR ALL MISSOURI VOTERS!!
What you need to know and SHARE about ballot measures for AUGUST 4 Election!
❌VOTE NO!! on Amendment 4 and Amendment 5
❌Amendment 4 - Changes the threshold for constitutional amendments proposed by citizen initiative petition. Currently initiative petitions require a simple majority to pass. Amendment 4 would require approval of citizen initiative petitions by a majority of voters in each of Missouri’s eight congressional districts. This would mean as few as 5% of Missouri voters could defeat citizen initiative petitions. The changes in Amendment 4 would make it virtually impossible for voters to change the constitution or state law through the citizen initiative process. ❌VOTE NO on Amendment 4!
❌Amendment 5 - Authorizes lawmakers to expand sales taxes as part of an effort to eliminate the state income tax. “The common thread between the amendments [Amendments 4 & 5] is luring Missouri citizens to surrender long-held constitutional power and freedom, and giving that power to politicians to use unchecked.” “Amendment 5 was Kehoe’s top priority during this year’s legislative session. If approved, it would allow lawmakers to apply sales taxes to transactions not currently taxed, with any new sales-tax revenue tied to cuts in the top state income tax rate, currently 4.7%. Lawmakers would have five years to redefine what is subject to sales tax.” Missouri Independent ❌VOTE NO on Amendment 5
