MEF does not have the resources to research propositions on the ballot in each of Missouri's 114 counties. To review the ballot before Election Day, go to your county's board of election website.

The more responsibility we give to government, the less the individual and the church must begin assuming responsibility for the tasks not assigned to the government under constitutional limitations." It is not uncompassionate to vote NO on ballot questions, proposals, and bonds to limit government intrusion into our lives. Our responsibility is to limit the growth of government - that is real compassion!
