Roy Temple is the new Missouri Democratic Party Honcho here's his opening ask and call to elect more Democrats along with some fundraising biz . . .
Show-Me Roy Temple Democratic Party Presser
Last Saturday, I was elected as the new Chair of the Missouri Democratic Party. I'm excited, but I'm also anxious. I'm anxious because in many ways, the well-being of our state rests of the shoulders of our party.
When the GOP gained back the super-majority status in the Missouri General Assembly, we all knew it would be bad...but it's been far worse than we could have ever imagined. The GOP majority is so reckless that Governor Jay Nixon was forced to veto 29 bills.
Those bills ranged from the ridiculous - Agenda 21 - to the reckless - HB253.
HB253 is the so-called "tax cut" bill that would give the average Missourian a tax cut big enough to buy a Big Mac and the favored few would get $1200 bucks a year. And it would devastate our public schools, eliminate critical services for the mentally ill, and raise taxes on prescription drugs.
Lucky for Missouri, Governor Nixon stood up to them and rejected their fatally flawed ideological legislation. But, that can't be our long-term solution. The only way to bring common sense back to the legislative process is for Democrats to start electing more members to the General Assembly -- from all across our state.
(And Then He Asks For Money . . .)

ReplyDeleteSanders is a corrupt douchebag.
ReplyDeleteHey, I LIKE Sanders. But hooray for Roy Temple. Let's get Missouri BACK. Harry Truman in twirling in his grave. Someone smart go talk to Rex Stringfield (sp?) and get him to quit funding those conservative Repubs in our backward red Legislature.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant time to start party PR when the poster boy is up on weed charges. DUH!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Democrats are going to lose more seats because the Party refuses to police its own people like LaFaver and Rizzo. Those two, together, will cost other Missouri Democrats their seats; and they will cost state-wide Democratic seats, as well.
ReplyDeleteI will certainly be looking for a democrat to elect so I can lose my 2nd amendment rights. Is Jeremy running this year for reelection, he sounds like a fine red blooded American lad.
ReplyDeleteTONY SMOKES POLE.
