Initiative Petition Bills

HJR 43 (Increases threshold for passage of Initiative Petition-driven Constitutional Amendments from a simple majority to 60%.)

• This bill is back off of the table so we need everyone to: call or email your State Representative to express your OPPOSITION TO HJR 43.

SJR 12 (This bill has vague language that purports to further define the single subject rule in initiative petitions. The vague language could be used to restrict the scope of initiative petitions.)

• 5 for Democracy: Call or email your State Senator to express your OPPOSITION TO SJR 12 or use the initiative petition specific dial-through number sponsored by Jobs for Justice, 833-491-0334. Leave a message with your zip code and it will be routed to your Senator.

SJR 28 (Increases the threshold for passage of a citizen’s initiative petition from a simple majority to a majority of votes cast statewide and a majority of congressional districts.)

• 5 for Democracy: Call or email your State Senator to express your OPPOSITION TO SJR 28 or use the initiative petition specific dial-through number sponsored by Jobs for Justice, 833-491-0334. Leave a message with your zip code and it will be routed to your Senator.

Got some time this Tuesday, May 2nd? Jog on down to Jeff City to join League members at the MOVPC-sponsored Lobby Day to tell our elected representatives in person what we support and oppose!
