Encouraging News Out of Missouri About Amendment 2

The more the proponents of Amendment 2 spend, about $16 million to date, almost all from James Stowers of the Stowers Institute, who is determined to buy a constitutional amendment, the worse the measure does. This poll of likely voters shows it with 52% yes, down from above 60% when the initiative first qualified for the ballot. True, it is above 50%, but realize the opponents, which have much less money, have not started their media buys yet. And, the proponents have been so dishonest, it could be that the voters of the “Show Me” state will turn their backs on the amendment in disgust. They certainly should.
