Sign Two Petitions
There are two important petitions to sign:
1) Protect Voter Decisions Petition: Proposes a constitutional amendment that protects the citizen-initiative process by keeping majority-rule and making it harder for lawmakers to weaken or override voter-approved measures. More info at: https://respectmovoters.org/
2) Right to Education Petition: Proposes a constitutional amendment to ensure Missouri will fully fund quality public education to guarantee that every child in Missouri, no matter where they live or their family’s income, has a “fundamental right” to a quality public education.

CALL TO ACTION
ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE
1/24/2026 - Stop ICE’s Attacks on Our Communities
Reports across the country document aggressive ICE raids, abusive detention conditions, and actions that have harmed both immigrants and U.S. citizens.
In Minneapolis, U.S. citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti were killed during encounters with federal agents, raising serious concerns about the use of force and lack of accountability.
Additional concerns include wrongful detention of citizens, racial profiling, family separations, inhumane detention conditions, and expanded surveillance of immigrants and protestors.
These actions threaten civil rights, due process, and basic human dignity.
We urge our elected leaders to:
Hold federal agents accountable
Protect civil and constitutional rights
End policies that harm families and communities
Democracy requires oversight, transparency, and respect for human rights.

1/22/2026 - Defund Ice
On January 22, the U.S. House passed H.R. 7147, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) appropriations bill by a narrow vote. The bill keeps ICE funding at current levels and now moves to the Senate, with a vote expected the week of January 26.
This comes despite growing concerns about serious abuses by ICE and CBP, including:
Reports of unconstitutional home entries without judicial warrants
Multiple fatal shootings involving ICE since fall 2025
Family separations and denial of due process
Documented physical, sexual, and psychological abuse in detention
Massive new funding increases without meaningful oversight
Congress faces a January 30 funding deadline, making this a critical moment.
We urge lawmakers to block any bill that continues funding for ICE and instead demand accountability, oversight, and real reform.

Call Your Elected Officials Today: Your Voice Matters
Calling Congress can feel like shouting into the void, but it matters—more than you think.
No matter the legislator’s political stance, calling works!
If you agree with their stance, make sure your representative hears from you! They rely on call records and personal stories from constituents to strengthen their arguments when speaking with colleagues.
If you’re unsure of their stance or disagree with it, calling is a powerful way to influence them. Representatives receive regular reports on constituent calls, which highlight the intensity of public opinion on specific issues.
Silence implies approval—don’t let it. Pick up the phone, share your concerns, and remind Congress who they work for: us! Together, We Stand United for a better future. Call now!
Here is an Easy Way to Get Started - 5 Calls.org
5 Calls makes civic engagement simple and impactful. Here’s how:
Simple: 5 Calls provides scripts and contact details for your representatives, so you know exactly what to say and who to call.
Efficient: You can focus on the issues that matter most to you, with regularly updated topics and clear guidance.
Impactful: Calling is one of the most effective ways to influence policy, and 5 Calls helps you make your voice heard in just minutes.
Stress-Free Calling Tip — Call after hours. Leaving a voicemail is still an effective way to make your voice heard. Staffers log all messages, whether live or recorded, and include them in their reports to your representative. Provide your name and zip code to ensure your call counts.
A few minutes can lead to real change—start calling today!
THE RULE OF LAW AND CHECKS & BALANCES EXPLAINED
At We Stand United, our commitment to upholding the rule of law and preserving our system of checks and balances reflects our dedication to the foundational principles that ensure justice, accountability, and the proper functioning of our democracy.
What is the Rule of Law?
The rule of law means everyone must follow the same rules—no matter who they are. This includes individuals, institutions, and even the government. The laws must be:
Clear and easy to understand
Fairly applied to everyone
Decided by courts that are independent and fair
By adhering to the rule of law, we ensure fairness, protect individual rights, and maintain order within society.
What Are Checks and Balances?
Our government is divided into three parts, or "branches," so that no one group can have too much power. This system is called checks and balances. Each branch has different responsibilities and can limit the power of the others:
Congress (Legislative) – Makes laws
President (Executive) – Enforces laws
Courts (Judicial) – Interprets laws and decides if they follow the Constitution
For example, Congress can pass a law, but the President can veto it. Then, the courts can decide if the law is fair. This balance of power makes sure no one can make unfair rules or take control.
Why Does This Matter?
When we follow the rule of law and use checks and balances, we make sure our democracy is fair, strong, and protects everyone’s rights. It keeps power in the hands of the people, prevents corruption, and helps our country run smoothly.
