BALLOT PROPOSITIONS PUT VOTES IN THE "DIRECT DEMOCRACY SEAT"

In my first editorial as Editor for the C-O I shared the “little realized” truth that voters have ‘THE LAST WORD” on how the state of Missouri will move forward on a series of issues before them, all of which are important, and some with actual life and death consequences.

Amendment 3:  The most controversial proposition on the ballot is Missouri Amendment 3, which, in essence, overturns Legislative action creating the most restrictive abortion laws in the Country.  While many letters to the editor and editorials by other writers have pointed to both the “yes” and “no” votes on this issue it comes down to this.
