We have 40 days until #ElectionDay to elect Gun Sense Leaders and Missourians are already voting! Today I joined @MomsDemand volunteers to lit drop for Wade Kiefer in Smithville, and made calls at home for @J_Shackelford. #MomsAreEverywhere#moleg
Short on time today, so made a couple of small donations to @MomsDemand Gun Sense Candidates in this final stretch for @dolanformo and @J_Shackelford! 39 days until #ElectionDay -focus on what you can do and control, and let’s support each other. We must WIN. #moleg
Today I VOTED by notarized mail-in ballot, which Missouri requires to be sent via USPS, so I sent it certified mail to guarantee receipt. Also got trained to do voter protection work on #ElectionDay! Off to son’s XC meet. 36 DAYS! #MomsAreEverywhere@MomsDemand#moleg#mogov
Recruiting volunteers is an important role for @MomsDemand leaders. Today our Missouri elections team prepped for our volunteer recruitment call! Also got official notice that Clay County Elections Board received my mail-in ballot! 📫🗳✔️#MomsAreEverywhere#moleg#WatchUsWork
Today I phone banked for @J_Shackelford to be our family’s next state representative. He’s the @MomsDemand Gun Sense Candidate and will also work for affordable health care and stronger funding for our public schools! Great mailer, James! #MomsAreEverywhere#moleg#WatchUsWork
And because last night’s debate demonstrated that we must elect @JoeBiden, I also recruited volunteers to phone bank for him this weekend. Americans are suffering right now. But they still volunteer because of what’s at stake. @MomsDemand#MomsAreEverywhere#WatchUsWork
9 DAYS until polls close. Today I joined other Northland KC @MomsDemand volunteers and UAW 249 members at a rally for @nicolergalloway plus other amazing Clay County #moleg gun sense candidates! And at home I recruited volunteers for GOTV for @JoeBiden. #MomsAreEverywhere#mogov
Shout out to the Missouri @MomsDemand volunteers today who made our Election Day of Action a success! We helped GOTV in St. Louis, St. Charles, Columbia, Jefferson City, Cape Girardeau, Springfield, Lee’s Summit, Kansas City, and Warrensburg! #MomsAreEverywhere#Election2020
Ready to finish up my last #Election2020 lit drop, then phone banking and prepping to be an official poll watcher tomorrow in outstate Missouri. Proud to support these @MomsDemand gun sense candidates up and down the ballot! #MomsAreEverywhere#WatchUsWork#moleg#mogov
It’s the last day of #Election2020 and I’m volunteering in Ray and Carroll Counties today. This is in rural Ray County 5 minutes into the poll opening, and it’s much shorter than it was at poll opening.
I’ve heard the racist “what about black on black crime” fallacy so often from people who oppose stronger gun violence prevention laws. Instead we see the current rush in Missouri for laws that are advertised as “tough on crime” but don’t address the real issue.
We are seeing skyrocketing gun violence in Missouri, but too many misunderstand the scope and nature of the problem. As this article points out, most gun deaths in the U.S. are actually suicides by gun. Here in Missouri, 56% of gun deaths are suicides. everytownresearch.org/everystat
Before the pandemic, Missouri already faced a public health crisis of gun violence, yet too many #moleg lawmakers deny the problem or make excuses. Time to send more @MomsDemand gun sense lawmakers to Jefferson City. Three things you can do right now to help:
✔️ Make sure you are registered to vote! Text REGISTER to 64433 to get more information. 🗳
The very good news out of this overall awful session is this: for the 3rd straight year, Missouri volunteers for @MomsDemand and other key stakeholders again defeated dangerous gun bills like #HB575#moleg
I am so proud to volunteer with @MomsDemand and work with our many Missouri volunteers from all over the state. We not only beat back bad gun bills, but took some important first steps in passing a proactive gun reform bill this year. #moleg
And we also mobilized volunteers from all over the state to testify before the Governor’s School Safety Task Force at its meetings in St. Louis, Springfield, Kansas City, Cape Girardeau, and Jefferson City. We shared safety recommendations supported by research. #moleg
