An initiative campaign is already underway In Missouri to get a Perfect Democracy Amendment and Proxies for Citizens on the ballot in 2026. The campaign is taking off faster than we expected. We mostly need lots of volunteers to help gather signatures on petitions, but there are some significant costs involved in getting the campaign up and running as soon as possible. We don't need to raise a lot of money right now, but we do need to raise some. Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Our most significant cost at present is the cost of printing petitions and support materials. Petitions must be printed on legal size page (8.5" by 14"). Using a union printer, the cost of printing 375 copies is $62.50 per petition (16 cents per copy). The cost of printing 500 copies is $75 for each petition (15 cents per copy). The cost of printing support materials varies widely.
Members of our Volunteer Staff have been covering their own travel expenses as they travel throughout the state of Missouri hosting events to promote our ballot proposals, distributing blank petitions and other volunteer resources, and meeting with the leaders of organization interested in joining our coalition. As the campaign ramps up, we need to help them cover their expenses.
