π« NO on 4 & 5 β Protect Missouri. Protect Our Voice. π«
On August 4th, Missourians have a big decision to make β and it's not just another vote. Amendments 4 and 5 would fundamentally change how our state works, and not for the better.
Amendment 4 β Protect Majority Rule
Right now, when Missourians vote on a citizen-led constitutional amendment, a simple statewide majority decides it. That's how it's worked for over a century. Amendment 4 would change that by requiring a majority in EVERY ONE of Missouri's 8 congressional districts. That means even if 90% of the state supported something, one district voting "no" could kill it. A small minority could veto the will of the majority. That's not democracy β that's a loophole for special interests to override the people.
Amendment 5 β Protect Taxpayers
Amendment 5 would phase out Missouri's individual income tax and open the door to expanding sales and use taxes to make up the difference β without the transparency and accountability Missourians deserve on something this big. A tax overhaul of this size should be spelled out clearly for voters, not buried in constitutional language that a court itself had to rewrite because it wasn't clear enough.
Why it matters:
β
Keep decisions in the hands of the majority of Missourians
β
Maintain transparency and accountability for tax changes
β
Protect our right to hold politicians accountable through the initiative petition process
This is OUR voice. OUR vote. OUR Missouri.
