Welcome, Kansas City People to Discuss Local Politics!

Join the ballot initiative to lower the drinking age in Missouri to 18. Supporters across the state are in the process of collecting over 100,000 signatures for the petition to get this initiative on the November ballot.

Some points of interest
* Legal Age 21 marginalizes the role of parents in the process of teaching and encouraging their children to make responsible decisions about alcohol use.
* Legal Age 21 drinking age breeds disrespect for law and leads to ethical compromises.
* Legal Age 21 has failed to prevent young people from consuming alcohol.
*Since implimentation of Legal Age 21 the average age of first drink has decreased to an average of 14 years old!
*Those that do drink under the Legal Age 21 this has contributed to a national epidemic of binge drinking.
