Governor Nixon vetoed 29 bills this year. Including in those 29 was a moderate tax cut and 2nd amendment preservation act. I'm sure many of you from Missouri have heard of these bills on the news. While I would argue that any tax cut (even as small as the cut in HB 253) would greatly help small business in Missouri, it is proven to work on a daily bases by our surrounding states. While we can blame many republicans for not voting to override the Governors veto, I want to be very clear that the problem starts at the top with Jay Nixon, but since that mistake has three more years in office. Here is a list of republicans that voted no in overriding His veto, also including their district, phone number and room number if you feel the need to contact them.

While history was made and the Legislature overrode 10 bills. The two most important were stalled. Above you saw you was to blame for HB 253, but for HB 436 was a different story. The 2nd amendment preservation act had passed the house and moved on to the senate where it needed 23 votes to be passed. The Mo senate has 24 republican senators, sounds like no problem, right? Two top senate leaders held up the bill, Senator Ron Richard and Senator Tom Dempsey. This resulted in HB 436 failing to pass by one vote.

Please feel free to give these wonderful elected officials a call and let them know how disappointed you are with them. Just remember, in 2016 Missouri will elect a new Governor. We need a 2nd amendment defending, fiscally responsible, small government Governor to lead Missouri to freedom and prosperity.
For now we must deal with consequences of our lawmakers actions. As a result Missouri will continue to be among the last place states for economic growth, and Missouri citizens will be left vulnerable to President Obama's gun control laws in the future.
