CATCHY AD. BIG CLAIMS. ZERO FISCAL BACKUP.

A new TV ad backing Amendment 5 promises: "Amendment 5 makes Big Tech pay, so you don't have to."

Simple. Catchy. But before you accept it — ask a few questions.

Missouri's individual income tax brings in billions every year. Amendment 5 phases it out and gives lawmakers authority to expand sales and use taxes to fill the gap.
So:
💰 How much would "Big Tech" actually contribute?
📈 Has any independent analysis confirmed it replaces those billions?
👥 If not — who makes up the difference?

Campaign ads are built to persuade. Not explain.

Before you vote on Amendment 5, read the amendment. Review the fiscal analyses.

❓ Ask whether the numbers add up.

An informed vote starts with informed questions.

🚨PUBLIC COMMENT NEEDED: Proposed USPS rule could affect absentee and mail ballots

The USPS has proposed a rule implementing President Trump’s March executive order on federal elections and mail voting.

Public comments are open through July 2, 2026.

What the proposal would do:

>>Require automation-compatible ballot envelopes and Election Mail handling, including unique tracking barcodes on outbound and return ballot envelopes.

>>Require election officials to submit ballot mailing information, including voter names, addresses, and barcode numbers, through a new USPS submission process.

>>Allow USPS to verify outgoing ballot mail before accepting it and return nonconforming mailings if the rule is finalized.

Why people are concerned:

>>Critics say the proposal would add extra steps, create delays, and increase the burden on local election offices.

>>That could make mail voting harder for voters who depend on it, including seniors, people with disabilities, rural voters, students, military families, and caregivers.

How to comment:

📧 EMAIL COMMENTS to: [email protected].
➡️ Put “Ballot Mail” in the subject line
📝 Include your name and address
⏰ Deadline: July 2, 2026

Suggested comment:
"I oppose the proposed USPS rule on mail-in and absentee ballots. While tracking is valuable, this proposal would add federal operational requirements that could delay ballots, increase burdens on local election offices, and risk preventing some voters from receiving or returning their ballots in time. Please withdraw or substantially revise the proposal."

Protect ballot access. Submit a public comment by July 2.

🌳 Amendment 1 in plain language

On August 4, Missouri voters will decide whether to continue the existing one-tenth of one percent sales/use tax that supports:

🌾 Soil and water conservation
🌳 State parks
🏛 Historic sites

Amendment 1 does not create a new tax rate. The official language says it continues an existing tax for 10 years, then sends it back to voters again.

A YES vote continues the existing tax that helps fund our state parks, historic sites, trails, and statewide soil and water conservation projects.

A NO vote would let the existing tax expire in 2028. That means the dedicated funding source for Missouri state parks, historic sites, and soil and water conservation would end.

Know before you go. Vote on August 4.

PUBLIC TRUST STARTS WITH PUBLIC RECORDS

Missourians deserve confidence in the election process—and transparency is a big part of that.

Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins has filed a lawsuit asking a court to allow his office to withhold records related to its review of signatures collected for the referendum challenging the state's new congressional map.

The records were requested under Missouri's Sunshine Law by People Not Politicians, the organization that submitted the referendum petition.

The Secretary of State argues the records are exempt because they relate to ongoing litigation.

The petition organizers disagree, arguing the records should remain public.

This lawsuit is not about whether the referendum qualifies for the ballot. It's about whether the public can see records showing how the signature review is being conducted while related court cases are still pending.

Regardless of where you stand on the congressional map itself, transparency and public trust are essential to our democratic process.

What do you think? Should these records remain closed until the litigation is over, or should they be released under the Sunshine Law?

Don’t Just Vote — Understand What Your Vote Will Change.

Before you vote on August 4, run every amendment through three questions:

1. WHAT CHANGES? What is this amendment actually doing — adding, removing, or rewriting?

2. WHO IS AFFECTED? Whose rights, resources, or opportunities shift if this passes?

3. WHAT HAPPENS EITHER WAY? What does Missouri look like if it passes? If it fails?

Four constitutional amendments are on the ballot this August. They're not simple yes/no questions — they're decisions that could shape Missouri law for decades.

Take the time. Ask the questions. Vote informed.

TV ads are telling people Amendment 5 will “save you money” by cutting income taxes and property taxes. That’s not the full story.

Here are the facts: Amendment 5 would phase out Missouri’s state income tax if revenue targets are met, and it would also change several existing tax rules for five years, including protections on new taxes on services and real estate transfers.

But it does not guarantee lower property tax bills. Any broad property tax relief would require separate legislation. Amendment 5 includes a conditional local tax offset, but it does not automatically cut or cap property taxes for homeowners.

Don’t let the ads do the thinking for you.

Read the facts, understand the fine print, and vote with the full picture.

🗳️ EXCUSED ABSENTEE VOTING BEGINS TODAY, June 23, for Missouri’s August 4 Primary Election.

Missouri has two different ways to vote absentee before Election Day, and the dates are one of these that start today.

1. EXCUSED ABSENTEE VOTING BEGINS JUNE 23

If you have a qualifying reason — illness or disability, travel out of your jurisdiction, religious observance, work as an election worker or first responder, and more — you can vote absentee by mail or in person at your local election authority. You'll need to provide your reason when you apply.

With an excuse, you may:
>> Vote absentee in person at your local election authority from June 23 through August 3
OR
>> Request an absentee ballot by mail. The last day to request one by mail is July 22, and your completed ballot must be received by your local election authority by 7 PM on Election Day, August 4.

2. NO EXCUSE IN-PERSON ABSENTEE VOTING IS JULY 21–AUGUST 3

During this two-week period, any registered Missouri voter may vote absentee in person without giving a reason.

This option is in-person only at your local election authority.

Important dates:

📌 June 23: Excused absentee voting begins
📌 July 8: Deadline to register to vote or update your voter registration
📌 July 21–August 3: No-excuse in-person absentee voting
📌 July 22: Last day to request an absentee ballot by mail
📌 August 4: Election Day — polls are open 6 AM–7 PM; mailed absentee ballots must be received by 7 PM

Don’t wait until the last minute. Check your registration, know your voting options, and make your plan now.

WHEN VOTERS STAY HOME, OTHERS DECIDE

On August 4, Missouri voters will decide issues that could affect our rights, our taxes, our public services, and the way citizens can use the ballot in the future.

Turnout in primaries is often low. That means a small number of people who show up at the polls can end up making decisions for everyone else.

WE CAN'T SIT THIS ONE OUT.

Please take time now to learn what will be on your ballot.
Make a voting plan.
Then talk to your family, friends, neighbors, and coworkers. Make sure they know there’s an election on August 4 — and why it matters.

Many people say, “America isn’t a democracy — it’s a republic.”

The truth is: it’s BOTH. The terms are not opposites.

When people object to the term “democracy,” they are often thinking of direct democracy — pure majority rule with no constitutional guardrails.

But that is not how our system works.

A DEMOCRACY means political power ultimately comes from the people.

A REPUBLIC means that power is exercised through elected representatives, within a framework of laws — usually a constitution — that limits government and protects rights.

The United States combines both:

🏛 We elect representatives to make laws.
🗳 The people retain power through voting and civic participation.
📜 Everyone — including elected officials — is bound by the Constitution.

So when someone says, “It’s a republic, not a democracy,” they may be raising a valid concern about unchecked majority rule. But our constitutional system already addresses that through checks and balances, individual rights, and the rule of law.

That’s not an argument against democracy.

It’s an argument for a CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC.

And in Missouri, democracy includes something very direct: our power to vote on ballot measures and amend our state constitution.

That power is worth understanding — and worth using.

On August 4, Missourians will vote on constitutional amendments. Don’t wait until the voting booth to understand what that power means.
