We the People of Johnson County Missouri, Friday, October 18, 2024 🎪 We the People Meeting, Fall BBQ & Opportunities to Defeat Amendment 3!!
Hi Folks!
🎪Our next meeting is coming up on a TUESDAY!!!
Next Tuesday, October 22 is our next We the People Meeting. Every year the Johnson County 4-H has their Banquet on the 3rd Monday in October, so we move our meeting to the Tuesday afterward. THEN we move back to Mondays the rest of the year. So, info for our NEXT MEETING IS:
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2024
6:30 Group Prayer for our country
7pm We the People
Johnson County Fairgrounds
Our speaker this coming Tuesday is Joe Nicola. Many of you know of Joe, as he is a Pastor in Independence, and recently won his primary for the Senate in parts of Jackson County Missouri. He also has written a fascinating book titled, “Ekklesia.” Several of us purchased and read his book to get a feel for his beliefs on politics and Christianity.
Joe is an excellent speaker. He believes when Jesus said to pray, “Thy Kingdon come and Thy will be done on earth, the same way it is in heaven…” that was His command for Christians to pray and work with our political system to bring God’s KINGDOM to earth. I can’t wait to hear what he has to say!
Also on THIS TUESDAY, Senator Rick Brattin will speak on his plans for continuing to represent us as our Senator. Both Rick and Joe plan to work as members of the Freedom Caucus in the Senate, which is GREAT NEWS!!!
Come hear and talk with these men so they can better support us in our Missouri government!!!
Also, we will have a raffle to raise money for the hurricane victims! Ret. Lt. Col Stuart Sullivan will be heading to Florida next Saturday to provide relief, and he’ll personally be appropriating money for the specific needs of the people he helps! He’ll tell you all about it at our meeting!!
🍖Next item: Johnson County Republican Central Committee (JCRCC) Fall BBQ!
We now have a tiny handful of truly conservative folks on the JCRCC, and we need LOTS MORE!!! Holly Schmitz won her election to the JCRCC and was given the position of Chair for the JCRCC Fall BBQ. However, Chair of the JCRCC, Brandon Phelps, announced he did not appoint a committee for her. (What???) He also said she should wait until NEXT fall to do a bbq (Why??? THIS year is an election year!!)
That didn’t make sense to Holly, so she immediately booked Milestones Event Center and Belly Down BBQ for the event! SO, here’s the info:
JCRCC Fall BBQ -
Thursday, October 24
5:30pm
Milestones Event Center - 380 MO Business Hwy 13
Charge - NONE!!!! IT’S FREE!!!!
COME ONE, COME ALL!!!!!
Another fun thing Holly has done is to invite Joe Nicola as keynote speaker to address Amendment 3, and reasons Christians must bring Christianity into political arenas. Other candidates will speak as well.
This will be a Fall BBQ like no other you’ve attended. HEAD TO MILESONES THIS THURSDAY!!!
TO RSVP, CALL: 816.984.9727 When you call, let Holly know if you received a mailer about the event or not.
🧾AND NOW….AMENDMENT 3 - OPPORTUNITIES TO KEEP IT OUT -
I know you’ve heard a lot about the “Reproductive Rights” bill. The name doesn’t even come close to what Amendment 3 would add to our Constitution as a RIGHT, so I’ll bullet point some of the items.
When an Amendment to the Constitution (state or federal) occurs, is paves the way for taxation to pay for the needs of the amendment. The government considers the passage of the Constitutional Amendment as YOUR “OKAY” TO TAKE YOUR MONEY. As such, Missourians will be taxed to pay for abortions, sex change operations, and hormone therapy for people wanting to experiment with their genders, including one gender to another and possibly back again. People you don’t even know. All these items are included under “Reproductive Rights.”
Abortions would be allowed up to the time of birth
Children who want to experiment with their body parts would be allowed to do so without their parents even being told. The state would take over the child, to allow these activities.
A girl would be allowed to kill her baby without consulting with her parents in the same way: the state would step in and take control of the pregnant girl.
Where does the state get the money to take control of these kids? From us. Our taxes would fund it.
Abortions would be allowed to be performed by “any certified person.” Often not a doctor. AND the girl/woman getting the abortion has NO RECOURSE if damaged by the procedure. She would be UNABLE TO SUE FOR DAMAGES.
NONE OF THIS IS “HEALTHCARE.” AND WE THE TAXPAYERS WOULD PAY FOR ALL OF IT.
Even if you are for the legal right to get an abortion, this Amendment is horrid. It gloms together numerous highly invasive and contentious bills, leaving us taxpayers on the hook for all of it.
The bill needs to be banned.
Be assured another bill will be devised. This bill takes away more rights than it provides. This bill will not end the fight EITHER way. But we MUST send our lawmakers the message that this is NOT GOING TO FLY AS IT IS.
WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!! Next Sunday, October 27, starting at 1pm as many volunteers as we can find will be helping with door knocking and other publicity events to ban Amendment 3. If you have a few hours, let Mike Compton know! Mike will be explaining the activities at our meeting on Tuesday!!
