Tell your Missouri State Representative that undermining Clean Missouri is unacceptable.
The Missouri House has voted to undermine state Sunshine Laws and Amendment 1/Clean Missouri which was approved by a majority of voters just last fall. The bill, HR 445 was meant to broaden Sunshine laws, but a last minute amendment tuned the whole thing on its head: "Several new exemptions to the open records law commonly known as the Sunshine law are created including ... communications involving advice, opinions, and recommendations concerning the deliberative decision-making process of any public governmental body." The broad language of the exemption to Sunshine Laws in the amended bill would mean that legislators could keep almost any document in darkness. This is the opposite of transparency in government, and the will of the people of Missouri. What you can do: If your House Representative voted for the bill, call them and tell them that going against the will of the people will not be tolerated. Then contact your State Senator and ask them to pass a clean version of HB 445 with no tricky amendments. Here's a link to look up contact information for your Missouri representatives. We've also written some draft letters for you to work from. Remember, the more personalized the letter, the better. |

Tell you Kansas State Rep That You Won't Tolerate Irresponsible Tax Cuts.
The Kansas Senate passed SB 22, an irresponsible tax cut that purports to be returning money to the people, but overwhelmingly benefits corporations and wealthy filers. What you can do: Look up how your State Senator voted, and let them know you care by sending them a note to thank them for their Nay vote, or tell them that their Aye vote was a vote against the best interest of most Kansans. Also, it's not too early to let your State Representative hear from you before SB 22 reaches that chamber. |

Yes to Equality, Yes to MONA, Yes to MISSOURI HB 208!
Tell your MO state representatives to support MONA. MONA makes sexual orientation and gender identity protected classes, just like race, gender, religion and age.
