Missouri Can Help Shift U.S. House Right, but Our Senate Needs To Hear From You!
Calling all Missouri Eagles:
I talked about this very issue on a What You Need to Know segment this week: the Boomerang Effect! Democrats cry that Republicans are so bad for using the redistricting process to shape Congress… But they do the very same gerrymandering to solidify their radical socialist agenda! We cannot let their hypocritical bravado stop us from using rightful avenues to preserve America!
You can make a difference today! Make some calls, send some emails, and come to the Rally on Monday if you can!
Please see the below information from our dear friend Bev Ehlen of Missouri Concerned Women for America.
All the best.
Ed Martin
President | Phyllis Schlafly Eagles
CALL AND EMAIL NOW
We need to help our Conservative Caucus Champions in the State Senate who have been advocating for the 7:1 Congressional map! We need to encourage the entire Republican caucus in our State Senate to go with the 7:1 Congressional map.
In Missouri we CAN send SEVEN Republicans to DC. We don’t have to settle for the weak 6:2 map (which will likely end up as a 5:3 map before the next census and redistricting) which the Senate is scheduled to bring up on the floor on Monday, Feb. 7 when the Senate goes into session at noon. We need to shine the light and crank up the heat!
Why? Because we need to send every Pro-life Republican to the US House of Representatives we can.
Please contact these Republican Senators and voice your opinion and encourage them to support the 7:1 map:

Why We Are Advocating for a 7:1 Congressional Map
Every ten years the state legislatures are given the task to take the new census numbers for their state and draw Congressional Districts Maps that represent the people of their state while meeting certain meet criteria.
Our Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft is advocating for a 7:1 map as well as several Missouri Senators. Other Republican Senators in Missouri are willing to settle for a weak 6:2 map.
Those who are advocating for a 6:2 map refer to their fear of putting Missouri through lawsuits and the courts drawing the maps. They will quote court cases.Those arguments can be convincing. Then one hears from our Sec. of State, or from the senators who are advocating for the 7:1 map. They, too, can point to lawsuits and procedures that show that we are not at risk of letting some other entity to decide our final Congressional Map.
It basically boils down to one’s worldview. If one has a deep conviction about the sanctity of life and liberty, and smaller government, then one will stand on that as well as find the information that will back up their willingness to go the tougher route.
- Here is link to the document Sec. State Ashcroft provided regarding advocating for a 7:1 map.
- Here is the link to the letter Sec. Ashcroft wrote to the members of the Missouri General Assembly about the constitutionality of the 7:1 Congressional map.
Please share with every conservative Missourian you know! THANK YOU!
Yours for true representation of the people,
Bev Ehlen
