Democracy on the Move

Fighting for our Initiative Rights


Listen Later

Jeff Basinger, an attorney from Columbia, Missouri, fights for the initiative process in Missouri. This process allows citizens to directly petition the government for ballot measures, giving them the ability to exercise direct democracy. In essence, it is democracy in action. However, certain people within the government have taken it upon themselves to interfere with the initiative process, denying citizens their right to direct democracy. Ohio tried the same thing in early August, and now it is Missouri's turn for its citizens to fight for their rights.

Freedom and democracy are not free. It takes people like Jeff to stand up to our government and assert our rights. Listen in as we discuss what is at stake in this fight, and learn how you can stay up-to-date on the latest developments and maybe even get involved!
