Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to:
– expand the initiative and referendum petition process by making it a fundamental right;
– allow courts to revise ballot summaries through lawsuits;
– prohibit the legislature from weakening initiative or referendum powers;
– prohibit the legislature from changing or repealing laws enacted through the initiative process, or passing laws similar to those rejected by referendum, – without approval from at least 80% of both chambers; and
– preserve existing majority vote and signature requirements for initiative and referendum petitions?State and local governmental entities estimate no costs or savings.
Fair Ballot Language:
A “yes” vote will prohibit the people’s elected representatives from directly amending or changing any law enacted through the initiative process; require that any modifications to laws enacted through the initiative process be referred to the people by a vote of at least 80% of each chamber of the General Assembly; restrict the legislature from passing laws that limit the ability to pursue initiatives and referenda; maintain the current signature requirements of five percent of the individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a law; maintain the current signature requirement of eight percent of individual legal voters in each of two-thirds of Missouri’s congressional districts for proposing a constitutional amendment; and maintain the current requirement that a simple statewide majority of votes cast on a measure by individual legal voters is sufficient to enact any law or constitutional amendment.

It is a plan.

I’ve already voted.
The constant independently funded attack ads, the continuous outrages perpetrated from the far right and the Trump administration, the cuts to healthcare for the neediest among us – set to kick in after the midterm election, the brutality directed at immigrants, the unbridled corruption and grift, the bigotry directed to minorities, LGBTQIA+, people who are “others”, the outrages, one after another, in the world – the deaths from dismantling USAID, the crimes directed at destroying Ukraine, the lack of empathy, the unrelenting evil – this is all overwhelming.
It’s hell now, it’s going to get worse over the next two weeks (and probably more).
These constant assaults on humanity are partly designed to instill “learned helplessness”.
Do what you can, but at the barest minimum you must vote.
After the election, in the best outcome, it will not be over. We cannot let this happen ever again. There can be no “let bygones be bygones”. There must be accountability. Otherwise, we do this all over again.
The last two years have stripped away any notion I had of shared interest with the 30% or so of Americans who worship Donald Trump.
I get physically ill watching the now blizzard of local and national news interviews with Trump/MAGA supporters illustrating their unwavering cult membership. WTF is wrong with these people? WTF is wrong with our media? WTF is wrong with America?
Nevertheless, I persist.
Indivisible ❌👑 @indivisible.org
Two weeks from right now, we will all be watching the election results come in.
But our goal isn’t just to win the midterms in 14 days — we’re also preparing for months of organizing to protect the results, stop Trump’s election sabotage, and ensure the winners are sworn in next year.

“Oh, a bullshit artist.”
Today:
Congressman Mark Alford
[October 19, 2026]SHOW-ME RESULTS 🇺🇸
I’ve been fighting to lower fuel costs and make life more affordable for Missouri families. That’s why I voted YES for year-round E-15. It means more American-made fuel options, lower prices at the pump, and a stronger market for our farmers.
Real savings for drivers. Real support for rural Missouri. ⛽🌽🇺🇸
[….]
Some of the responses:
Trumps WAR the one he started all on his own saying it would take a week and was not really a war. Is responsible for the gas prices.
Is the affordability in the room with us now?
Where is this fuel available? All stations?
Being from rural Missouri, I know a whole lot of farmers. But I don’t know a single one who is as excited about diesel being almost $6 a gallon (and more in some places) as Mark Alford. The illegal Iran War is disproportionately harming our rural communities, but Alford supports it anyway. Vote Herrera for Congress!
Is this the Onion?
Sadly, no.
Talk to your leader tell him to turn Starlink back on for Ukraine🤬
There’s literally no way the increase in taxes per paycheck equates what I pay for insurance every payday. I don’t understand people being so against universal healthcare.
I just finished open enrollment for 2027, and I’m paying over $10,000 next year for medical, dental, vision, and life insurance for a family of 5. And that’s not including deductible and copay. Estimates suggest a 4% tax increase on the average household to fund a single payer healthcare system. Medicare for All would save me about $7,000 as well as prevent over 100,000 deaths.
Ethanol as gasoline is a terrible energy policy. It takes 1.17 units of energy to create 1 unit of energy as ethanol. While it reduces demand for crude it increases the demand for natural gas.
Science! Facts!
1 acre of solar panels can propel an EV 80-120x farther than an acre of corn grown for ethanol. With no annual inputs. For 25-30 years…
What about truckers, Mike? Will there be socialism for them too?
most cars can’t use this fuel. So for most no help
Congressman Mark Alford Judging by the prices, I am concerned about your ability as a fighter for farmers and American Families.
Today:
Exactly the same as shrinkflation. Not fooling anyone. Let’s Math out the “fuel efficiency” on your proposal. It won’t pass scrutiny.
No new wars
Congress held 6 voting sessions to end the Iran war. Congressman Mark Alford and the majority of Republicans voted no all 6 times. The war is causing a huge increase in gasoline and diesel prices . Now Mark wants to boast about offering a drop of help that does nothing to lower high prices he caused. It’s time to elect someone who will vote to end the war.
[….]
This, right here!!!
Midterms Approaching Propaganda and significant self-promotion.
Where can we find these prices?
No worries, I’m not expecting you to answer since we all know they don’t exist.
The photo shows regular gas at $2.94 a gallon – which was in February, 2024 when BIDEN WAS PRESIDENT.
By affordable you mean literally double from last year…
I just put $20 in my tank this morning. Barely gave me a quarter tank. When Biden was president, that $20 would last me a whole week. Now, I’ll be lucky to get two days.
And it lowers your mpg by about 5%. So have to buy more gas.
Fuel Prices by Grade Oct 19 2026
• Regular Unleaded: $3.93 – $3.95 / gallon
• Mid-Grade: $4.29 / gallon
• Premium: $4.65 / gallon
• Diesel: $6.01 – $6.30 / gallon
Feb 2025 Missouri avg gas price was $2.84 for regular unleaded.
I use 2 tanks a week to commute to work.
So every month, I pay $133 more thanks to Trump’s war.
[….]
How about get us out this war?
Until the illegal war against Iran has ended (which you have it in your power to do if you vote against it), fuel prices will remain higher. Increasing E-15 usage will increase repair frequency, as well as increase food costs: every acre harvested costs more using expensive diesel.
$6.19 per gallon 10-19-26
Rubber Stamp Alford 😂
You’re a joke
Maybe you should try voting to end the war that actually caused the fuel prices to rise.. dumb ass.
These kinds of posts alone should tell you that Alford isn’t fit for office.
Confirming your incompetence again? 🤡
You forget to mention, when using E85 gasoline, your vehicles fuel economy goes down 15% to 27%. A great accomplishment for republican maggat CULT representatives would be getting fuel costs down to where they were the day JOE BIDEN LEFT OFFICE. Those price levels are a DISTANT DREAM for republicans that could take years under their leadership.
This post shows you that Mark Alford just parrots what his corporate campaign donors tell him and doesn’t take 5 minutes to research what he’s talking about.
Alford must be taking advantage of Missouri’s recreational weed availability again. He’s not making any sense.
I’m guessing you learned arithmetic from one of the public schools you voted to defund.
So once again you prove you lack basic math skills you pathetic sycophant
Grow up FFS.
Vehicles that run on sunshine are superior for almost every application. Enjoy your $6 diesel, maga.
[….]
You’re a joke…. You got Hegseth spending $90 billion dollars to DOUBLE fuel prices…. And no end in sight…. Corrupt…and… like the recently sacked press secretary….. UTTERLY incompetent.
Is this satire?
Seriously?
I wish I could see if you were posting this with a straight face.
You think we are all LYING about high prices?
You think every single one of us can’t see with our own eyes and wallets what we are paying for when we go get gas?
Are you that fucking stupid. Fuck you Mark!
So you want us to be using RUSSIAN oil?
BTW my nephew just got sent back to the Middle East (Air Force). He wont be home until next July at the earliest. Wasn’t this supposed to be a war that only lasted a week or so?? His poor baby girl has seen him 2 out of her 6 months on this Earth.
[….]
If only your party’s leader hadn’t have started a war against Iran…
Who is this ad for? Good Lord Alford is a putz. If you vote for him you get what you deserve. He obviously has driven around his district or MO in general.
Maybe if Mark Alford paid for his own food, gas and healthcare then he would have a clue about what people are dealing with today.
WTF have Republicans done to lower fuel costs???
This guy clueless and always has been. Look at how he has voted on health care
Congressman Mark Alford supports attacking a proven US ally, destroying Ukraine’s infrastructure and killing citizens. Mark Alford is on the side of PUTIN. Mark Alford is a traitor to the US Constitution and the people of this land. #UNFITtoSERVE #TakeOutTheAlfordTrash
“Fighting for affordability” while writing off his gas bill to his constituents. He is really feeling the pinch of driving that suburban around rural MO every day.
Yes on 6, the rest are tricks – just like Mark!
F*** you mark.This meme presents a false choice as if capitalism equals freedom. Scripture warns that you cannot serve both God and Mammon, yet capitalism relies entirely on usury, corporate greed, and debt bondage that destroy organic communities. Here in Missouri, we see corporate capitalism and state authority working hand-in-hand, with politicians literally walking around posing with baseball bats to intimidate citizens. Real faith and sound political order reject both state socialism and corporate finance capital they are two sides of the same tyrannical coin, both relying on fear and greed to enforce control.
[….]
High gas prices are 100% the result of Republicans and the Iran War.
And Mar-a-Lago Mark supported all of Trump’s policies, even though he doesn’t have a single constituent in the top 1%. Vote him out.
Dear god, Mark…just stop while you’re way behind.
You definitely put more into the photos you’re posting several times a day than actually accomplishing real results.
Fyi…gas prices have not gone down in Missouri.
You are soooo emotionally abusive, gaslighting your constituents over gas prices.
It’s only unaffordable because you guys sold us out for more endless wars.
Phony Marka typical Trumper spreading more lies
You’re such a failure. 🤣
Show me a bunch of BS messaging; affordable my a**.
Mark’s words are empty, and his actions don’t help Missouri. Vote this liar out.
Not much of a fighter maybe you should try something else.
This Republican Congress has failed to fulfill its constitutional duty to provide meaningful oversight and hold the president accountable.
At a time when the senile president’s words and actions raise serious concerns about judgment, stability, and leadership, Congress has a responsibility to act –
not to stand by in silence, put party loyalty above country, or shirk its obligations.
Or you could have just voted No for the iran war right?? RIGHT????
You didn’t do shit about diesel. That’s where the real cost comes from since all shipping relies on it. The US produces enough diesel to supply ourselves, but you Republicans won’t pass bills to restrict their price gouging.
Also yay, more ethanol to screw up my engine! Thanks, Marky Mark!
Growing an acre of corn produces less energy than an acre of solar.
Look for a new job.
