Missourians! Know What's On Amendment 3 This November!

Coming up in November, with our election, is Amendment 3. We need to know what's in it and what's being attempted.

Below is the language for Amendment 3-The Dirty Missouri Amendment that is about rigging maps to protect incumbent politicians-that will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot.

It is important to read the entire amendment. If one only reads the first two sections you might be inclined to vote yes, but it is a definite NO vote you should cast.

Don’t be fooled by the first two sections. It would reduce the lobbyist gift limit by $5 dollars only and it would lower the contribution limit for state senate candidates by only $100 - That’s it. That’s the list. That’s how politicians are hoping to dupe you. It is the remainder of the ballot that does the damage to Missouri voters and would reinstate gerrymandered districts and make it all but impossible for voters to oust embedded and corrupt politicians.

Why are politicians trying to overturn the will of Missouri voters?

2020 is politicians’ last chance to set things up for gerrymandered maps in 2021 that would last through 2030. They want: 

• Unfair, noncompetitive districts to limit voters’ ability to hold their leaders accountable
• New rules to let lobbyists and political operatives draw lines in back rooms
• Explicit allowances for extreme partisan gerrymandering
• To not count kids or non-citizens in Missouri’s population
• Unprecedented restrictions on citizens’ abilities to challenge unfair maps in court

In 2018 Missourians voted 2 to 1 for clean government reforms. The Republicans said Missouri voters didn’t know what we were doing-WE DID-and now they want to overturn the will of the people - and have succeeded in getting confusing language on the ballot.
