Wealthy special interests are trying to silence your voice...
For 115 years, Missourians from all sides of the political spectrum have used the ballot initiative process
to take reforms directly to the voters to get things done.
Now, politicians in Missouri are resorting to a desperate power grab and trying to take away this power
by blocking citizens from using the ballot initiative process.
Politicians and wealthy special interests want to rig the system and keep all the power to themselves.
They can’t win fairly, so they’re trying to rewrite the rules to get their way.
They want to protect their own ability to change and repeal the results of ballot measures, even while
making it harder for citizens to organize and pass them ourselves.
For example, they want to double the number of required signatures to qualify for the ballot to 600,000,
so only the wealthiest, out-of-state interests can afford to use the new process, locking out grassroots
citizen movements.
Together, we CAN stop this and protect Missourians’ power to make decisions.
Together, we CAN stop this and protect Missourians’ power to make decisions.
Ballot initiatives are a Missouri tradition and a sacred Constitutional right. It is the only recourse we have
when politicians fail to address the issues that matter to us.
It’s up to us to defend the will of the people against the sore losers and bullies who want to change the
rules to get their way.
