August Ballot Amendments and Candidates
I hope your Memorial Day Weekend was good, as we paid tribute to those who served and gave the ultimate sacrifice for this country and our freedom. Thank you to ALL of our veterans!
Memorial Day began May 30, 1868, in remembrance of the many many people who died during the civil war. Ordinary people gave their lives in order to preserve and keep this country – united and committed to the American principle that ALL are created equal. A principle that said NO to slavery!
Currently this country appears to be embroiled in similar philosophical wars. The super rich are bribing their way – to mergers, to less regulation, to unfettered data center growth while receiving tax cuts paid for with cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. The government is eliminating DEI programs and legislative seats for people of color.
Prices for essential goods, like gas & meat, are out of sight. Missouri Republicans gerrymandered Congressional districts for Trump, are trying to destroy the people’s initiative petition process and are seeking to reestablish a total ban on abortion!
Will the POWER of the wealthy elite be able to crush the POWER OF THE PEOPLE?
WE SAY NO!!
These issues make the 2026 elections THE MOST IMPORTANT of our lifetime.
Trump’s war of choice continues. He is the proverbial bull in a china shop, destroying everything he touches -international order, world economies and global stability. He acts without the input of Congress, advisors, or allies affected. He sees himself unconstrained – a KING, not required to ask Congress about tariffs, war or the destruction of monuments.
Please email or call Senators Hawley ( 202-224-6154) and Senator Schmitt (202-224-5721). Write/call your US Senators and Representative to demand that they stop these unauthorized military strikes on Iran and encourage Trump to testify on the Epstein files Hawley.senate.gov , Schmitt.senate.gov FYI: the Save Act is also on the Five Calls app.
You may not get through but they will probably tally your call so they know how voters feel about it.
These are unprecedented times which can feel chaotic and unsettling. Besides the move towards authoritarianism at the federal level, Missouri Republicans have chosen to deny voters representation and a voice in government.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, TAKE ACTION.
Small actions make a difference.
One action is to contact your US Senators and US Representative with your concerns or suggestions. Keep your letter short and respectful. Legislators keep count of the people for & against legislation or ideas. Their phone numbers/emails are below. FYI: Emailing at the federal level requires that you go first to the person’s website, click on “CONTACT US”.
NO Accountability – No ICE. No more Masks. Release the Epstein files. No new wars.
