WHAT IS MISSOURI AMENDMENT 6? Missouri’s initiative and referendum process has been part of our Constitution since 1908. Amendment 6 would add new protections to keep those citizen lawmaking powers strong and accessible. 🇺🇲⬇️❤️🤍💙⬇️🇺🇲 Continued In Comments

'Direct democracy' gets name-dropped every now and then in the news cycle, but what does that actually mean? Instead of representative democracy—where voters select representatives who go on to make policy—direct democracy means voters themselves make decisions on policy.

Politicians keep talking about ‘affordability,’ so why do Americans keep having to vote themselves a raise?
The more representative democracy is weakened, the more voters are having to work two jobs: one that pays their bills and one as unpaid citizen legislators.
