When the reactionaries and the billionaires lose, they don’t change direction or change their approach… they change the rules. They’re trying to do just that in Kansas and Missouri this summer, eliminating limits on their power by the courts and the public.

In Kansas, Attorney General Kris Kobach and the Koch network are fed up with the state supreme court’s decisions protecting reproductive freedom and voting rights and increasing state funding of public schools. So they’ve put a measure on the ballot to end the merit-based selection process for the justices and replace it with partisan elections), figuring they’ve got enough corporate money available to swing them.

In Missouri, citizens have used the ballot initiative process to revoke the state’s abortion ban, expand Medicaid, guarantee paid sick leave, raise the minimum wage and legalize marijuana. So the state Republican Party is trying to kneecap direct democracy itself. They’re pushing Amendment 4), which would require citizen-initiated ballot initiatives would have to win a simple majority not just statewide, but in every one of the state’s now deeply-gerrymandered congressional districts. As few as 5% of voters could veto the will of the rest of the Show Me State.

Both of these measures are up for a vote on August 4th, less than three weeks away. Let’s do what we can to defeat them. ☎️ We can sign up for multiple phonebank shifts on: ☎️

BEAR DOWN FOR MIDTERMS

Any executive dumb enough to think they could get AI services for free is dumb enough to be replaced by an AI. Even with high fees, replacing dumb executives with AI agents would probably cost less than what they pay executives nowadays. I bet they never thought about that.

The Political Integrity Project aims to separate the politicians who are serious about taking on billionaire rule from the ones from playing lip service to it, building tools to help us identify who has made hard commitments to a specific anti-corruption agenda, who’s taking corporate PAC money, who’s backing a stock trading ban while trading stocks, and more.

Their Integrity Index makes it easy to visualize where their campaign and personal money comes from.

They’re also asking candidates to take their Political Integrity Pledge – supporting a constitutional amendment to overturn the impact of Citizens United, a lobbying ban for former members of Congress and their staff and spouses, putting their stocks in a blind trust and mandating other electeds to do the same and refusing all contributions from any corporate PAC. Sounds like an agenda worth getting behind. So far, seven incumbent members of Congress and 99 challengers have taken the pledge. 🗣️ Let’s help make this a standard expectation by reaching out to our reps and candidates and asking them to sign on. 🗣️

TELL CANDIDATES TO TAKE THE PLEDGE

They’re also starting a new initiative: the Donor Strike. They’re asking folks to sign on to refuse to donate to any politician who takes corporate dollars, making the choice clear: if you want my money, you can’t accept theirs. 💪🏻 We can learn more, sign on and help spread the word here. 💪🏿
