Amendment 3 is a politician protection plan.

The facts on Amendment 3:

  • Amendment 3 is written to trick you. It changes lobbyist gift limits by only $5 and contribution limits by just $100.
  • Amendment 3 reverses voter-approved redistricting reforms to let lobbyists and political operatives draw incumbent-protection maps.
  • Amendment 3 says that even if their politician-protection maps are unconstitutional, a judge can’t throw them out. No one, especially politicians, should be above the law.
  • Two separate courts ruled that politicians broke the law with false claims about what’s in the fine print of Amendment 3. When politicians’ lies are so bad they break the law, we have to hold them accountable by voting NO.
  • Amendment 3 will hurt our communities. Politicians want to rig the system by making us the first state to not count everyone in district maps. Local leaders are warning about “significant” revenue losses if Amendment 3 passes.

“Don’t be fooled.”

Joplin Globe Editorial, May 25, 2020

Amendment 3 was crafted by politicans to trick you.

It would only change lobbyist gift limits by $5 — with exemptions for some lobbyists — and would only change and contribution limits for state senate candidates by $100.

That’s not reform. It’s a smokescreen to distract you from the real goal: letting lobbyists and political operatives rig the maps to protect their favorite politicians.
