Each community rallied to shed light on what they are calling ‘deceptive and misleading ballot language. Organizers from groups like Respect Missouri Voters and 5051 Missouri hosted on Saturday.
“We’re non-partisan because what we really stand for is respecting Missouri voters. Whoever wants to put something on the ballot, if they gather the signatures, they should have the right to put that on the ballot, have it voted on, and have the politicians respect it,” said Theresa Nicolosi with Respect Missouri Voters.
Leslie Jones is the Democratic candidate for the Missouri House of Representatives District 130, which covers parts of Springfield, Republic, and Willard. Jones spoke out at Saturday’s protest.
“This is not about parties. This isn’t Republican versus Democrat or Independent or wherever you fall in that. This is about them (legislators) respecting our democracy,” Jones said.
Although ‘Save Our Say’ rallies happened across Missouri on Saturday, the protest in St. Louis was postponed due to Friday’s tornado.
