Ban Missouri Politicians from Attacking the Will of the People
It’s the people versus politicians.
Extremist Missouri politicians are attacking the will of the people. Overturning. Tricking. Delaying. Blocking. Taking away your power.
Now YOU can help us pass a citizen initiative to stop them.
Together, we can BAN politicians from:
Overturning initiatives that voters have already passed.
Attacking citizens' ability to use the initiative process.
Manipulating language on ballots to trick and mislead voters.
We are Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, and independents across Missouri.
Goals by June 30
Days left: 40
The Policy
The Respect Missouri Voters Amendment will protect the citizen ballot initiative process forever:
Protect past initiatives: Prohibit the legislature from proposing or passing any changes to voter-approved initiatives unless by an 80% bipartisan supermajority vote in both chambers.
Protect our constitutional freedom: Prohibit the legislature from putting any constitutional amendment on the ballot that would make the initiative process more difficult.
Unbiased ballot language: Require clear, fair, accurate ballot language so voters understand what they’re voting on.
Note: this does NOT restrict what citizen-led initiatives can do. It only prohibits the legislature from attacking citizen-led initiatives.
The Corruption
We, the people, have to gather about 300,000 signatures to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. Meanwhile, it takes only 100 politicians to do the same. Yet, those same Missouri politicians are trying to take away your power.
When it comes to votes by citizens on ballot measures, including anti-corruption initiatives, Missouri politicians have weaponized ballot language and attacked the will of the people. Overturning. Tricking. Delaying. Blocking. Taking away Missourians’ power.
The Choice
We can let politicians decide the future of Missouri. Or we can recruit 2,500 volunteers to gather signatures for 2 hours per week for 12 weeks to place this on the November 2026 ballot.
Our Vision
We will mobilize the overwhelming majority of Missourians who want to keep this power in our own hands. We will protect, strengthen, and use the citizen initiative process to ensure a government of, by, and for the people—not for the politicians.
-
Initiative petition, ballot measure, citizen initiative, ballot initiative - all these terms mean the same thing:
The people’s tool to propose new laws or amendments to Missouri’s state constitution. Citizens gather signatures from fellow voters to put an issue on the ballot. Once the signatures are verified, it is put to a public vote. If the majority of voters approve, the law or amendment is enacted.
