We the People of Johnson County Missouri, Thursday, April 4, 2024 💥 Election News & Petitioners at Polls
Hi Folks!!
2024 just keeps bringing new surprises and learnings! Honestly, I believe God is doing amazing things in our country and people. Stay tuned for His Hand wherever you go!
🏙️ City Council
As many of you know our own Kirk Walker ran for City Council, and he did himself proud!!! He spoke at NUMEROUS venues in town, including City Council members themselves, he did a city-wide mail-out of cards showing his primary goals and background, and he did meet ‘n greets a-plenty!
Other candidates included:
Scott Holmberg - a prior Warrensburg Mayor,
Eva Norton - a realtor in Warrensburg, and
Suzy Latare - who has worked at UCM, been on the Chamber of Commerce and is past-President of Chamber of Commerce, is on the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee of Warrensburg, and has been on numerous other prominent committees.
Suzy came in first, and KIRK WALKER came in second! Had there been 2 positions available for City Council Kirk would now be a member. So. I’m looking forward to his NEXT RUN!!! AND HOW MANY OTHER FOLKS WHO LIVE WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF WARRENSBURG WILL TAKE THE CALL TO RUN?
As many of you know City Council is considered a “nonpartisan” position. Our current members, however, provide a significant list to the left. I have a HUGE soft spot for Suzy, she’s a sweetheart, and she’s my friend. She and I have different views on politics, and she brings a lean-to-the-left to City Council that could topple the Tower of Pisa.
Last year when many of us attended City Council meetings trying to get attendance of the drag queen show disallowed for children, which is consistent with Missouri law for lewd adult performances, one would have thought we were asking them to perpetrate Mission Impossible. In fact, it was as if our request was an outrage to society. That’s WEIRD.
In 2025 there will be TWO POSITIONS available on the City Council!!! Start asking God NOW if you’re who He’d like to put in one of those positions! Two slots make it easier to get in. “HERE AM I GOD. SEND ME.”
💡 I Learned Something New About Elections!
The put-abortion-in-our-constitution-petitioners (PACP) were out and about at most polling places in Warrensburg on Tuesday. The Methodist Church is one of the polling places, so I went there to see what was up. I was delighted to see Trisha Mannering working that poll, and NO PACPs!!!! YAYYYYY!!!
I asked Trisha if they’d been there, and ohhhh yeahhhh, they were. Here’s the process Trisha learned, and explained to me, for making unwanted petitioners leave:
Ask someone from the polling location if they have a complaint about having petitioners on their property. So, for a church, it would be one of the church employees.
If the employee(s) doesn’t want petitioners there, they say so. Then poll workers call the County Clerk who at this point is Diane Thompson, and complain.
Once there is an official complaint from someone associated with the polling location (employee, President of the Board, etc), Diane Thompson comes to the location and dismisses said petitioners! Or, I think she also may be able to have polling personnel dismiss the petitioners. If they are recalcitrant to leave, Diane for sure goes in person to dismiss them.
SO!!! NOW YOU KNOW!!! As such, if you’re ever working a poll and don’t want petitioners there, you know what to do!! And if you’re NOT working the poll, but would prefer petitioners not be there, you can tell the poll workers how to make them leave.
Apparently one of the PACPs was NOT happy about being asked to leave - AND - “having to vote in a CHURCH!” Hm. Maybe she needs to build some tiny houses to provide polling places or something. You know…be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. Darn those ridiculously helpful churches, anyway. 😕
Keep this little piece of information handy for our COMING SOON! elections, and all FUTURE elections!!
Okay, that’s a wrap for today. Tomorrow I’ll post some TRULY WACKO workings of our Missouri GOP members. (Spoiler Alert: there’s NO WONDER we have so many RINOs in Jeff City….MO GOP is full of MANY RINOs! Be forewarned!!!)
If you’ve been following any of this on Act4MO.org you’ve already gotten the “spoiler”. OH, but WAIT!!! There’s even MORE!!!
Stay tuned! Do your buddies a favor and Share! 😀
