Communist Richard Von Glahn and out of state groups are making a final push this weekend to STEAL a GOP House Seat.
DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION! These groups are under investigation by the MO Attorney General.
They’re even patrolling neighborhoods and soliciting door to door now!
If you think you may have signed by accident contact us at 417-612-9044 and we’ll help you withdraw your signature.
Stop to End.

They think we’re all stupid.
Steal a GOP House seat? Every accusation is a confession.
Hey, Brandon Phelps (r), are you going to vote for this gerrymandered bullshit? (August 30, 2025)
[….]
Total Congressional Vote in Missouri: 2,924,863
With a range of total votes among the 8 Congressional Districts (lowest/highest): 307,265/428,392
Total Republican votes: 1,711,050 Percentage of total vote: 58.50%
Total Democratic votes: 1,095,671 Percentage of total vote: 37.46%
Current Party Distribution of Congressional Seats in Missouri (8 total):
Republican (2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8): 6 seats 75%
Democratic: (1, 5): 2 seats 25%
What Gov. Mike Kehoe (r) and the other Trump (r) enablers and sycophants in the Missouri General Assembly want from this special session:
Republican (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8): 7 seats 87.5%
Democrats: (1): 1 seat 12.5%
What would actually reflect and represent the population of Missouri?:
Republican: 5 seats 62.5%
Democratic: 3 seats 37.5%
That’s pretty darn close to 58.50% and 37.46%, don’t you think?
[….]
GOP seat? Yeah, no.
“….Communist Richard Von Glahn and out of state groups….”

That type of accusation went out with Joe McCarthy (r), Richard Nixon (r), and button down shoes.
Trump Jr. Targets Missouri Activist in Latest Attack on Gerrymander Opponents
By Jen Rice

In comments to Democracy Docket, Von Glahn said that Trump Jr.’s focus on him misses the point of the referendum: Missouri voters oppose the gerrymander and are angry.
“I am irrelevant to this campaign,” von Glahn said. “There are thousands of Missourians volunteering, talking to one another. My signature is going to be one of nearly 300,000 that get turned in next week.”
The organizer also blasted Trump for claiming the referendum aims to “steal” a congressional seat from Republicans.
“Missouri’s congressional seats belong to the people of Missouri,” Von Glahn said. “That is the point. Our democracy is ours. It isn’t theirs. We’re not taking anything. We are protecting our voice and our power.”

“…DON’T GIVE THEM YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!…”
Uh, your voter information is a public record. You have to print and sign your name, provide your address if you sign any initative petition or referendum petition. They really think we’re all that stupid.
“….These groups are under investigation by the MO Attorney General….”

Catherine Hanaway (r) [2014 file photo].
Hack.
“….They’re even patrolling neighborhoods and soliciting door to door now!….”
No shit, sherlocks. People soliciting petitions can and do go door to door to ask residents who are registered to vote if they’ll sign a petition. Sign or don’t sign, it’s up to you.
Patrolling?

Escalatory rhetoric much, Missouri GOP?
