From the moment this unconstitutional redistricting scheme was introduced, the gallows were set in place. Every step toward dismantling Kansas City’s district, silencing Black voters, and shredding the Constitution is another beam hoisted into place. If you move forward, you are not fortifying your power. You are building the gallows for your own reputation. Each vote you cast for this illegal plan is a rope tightened, a platform raised, a step closer to political ruin. And make no mistake: if you follow through, you will not just face lawsuits and public outrage. You will be hanging your own career from the very structure you built. The people of Missouri will not forgive or forget those who betray their oath, their Constitution, and their constituents. We, the people, demand an immediate end to this illegal redistricting scheme. Tear down the gallows before you climb them yourselves.
