Lobbyists have too much influence in Missouri government

Every year since 2004, Missouri legislators have taken an average of almost $900,000 in gifts from lobbyists

No matter what party you believe in, this is not right.

Amendment 1 will:

• lower campaign contribution limits for state legislative candidates
• eliminate almost all lobbyist gifts
• require politicians wait two years before becoming lobbyists
• require that legislative records be open to the public
• ensure that neither political party is given an unfair advantage when new maps are drawn after the next census, by requiring a nonpartisan expert to draw fair legislative district maps, which would then be reviewed by a citizen commission
