To the Members of the Missouri House of Representatives and the U.S. Congress

I am writing as a concerned citizen and voter deeply troubled by recent actions taken by the legislature that appear to disregard the will of the people.

Twice now, the voters of Missouri have spoken clearly through the ballot box, approving measures by majority vote. Yet, despite these outcomes, some of our elected representatives have taken steps to challenge, alter, or reverse what the people have decided. This raises a fundamental question: If the voice of the voters is not respected, then what purpose does a democratic vote serve?

Our system of government is based on representation and the rule of law, but it is also built on trust. When that trust is broken — when officials dismiss the results of a lawful, democratic vote — it undermines the very principles of our republic.

Because of this growing disconnect between the legislature and the will of the people, I see no alternative but to support candidates who will listen to and respect the outcome of the democratic process. For me, that increasingly means electing representatives who are willing to put the interests and voices of their constituents — all of them — above partisan politics or political maneuvering.

I urge you to reflect on your oath to serve the people of Missouri and to remember that power in our democracy flows from the voters, not the other way around.

Note: 

I highly recommend that you write your congressman and state representatives, tell them how you feel.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the world was evolving rapidly. Machines roared to life in factories, cities grew taller, and people began to see the world differently. Science and technology were advancing, and with them, new ideas about reality and perception emerged. Artists started asking themselves: "What if art doesn’t have to show the world as it looks? What if it could express the world as it feels?" A painter named Wassily Kandinsky was one of the first to take this bold step. He believed that colors and shapes could spe...

Representation of the tree of life

You are the trunk of the tree and every branch represents a different direction of your life. You can see that every branch, there's no kind of growth, no leaves of any kind, it's just a bunch of dead sticks clinging to the trunk of the tree. However, you can see all kinds of green foliage in the background, it seems to be thriving, growing at a incredible rate. What do you think the interpretation of this picture truly means?
