Here are several ideas for you 

to get involved and help us. 

Hello Neighbor!      

What is the peaceful and lawful remedy for the tyranny* that has taken hold in our country today? Our only hope is new election integrity laws. Get involved. Demand that your elected representative vote to improve election integrity laws. That is our ONLY peaceful and lawful means of defeating tyranny. The other option (open rebellion) is difficult for us to swallow, and the Democrats know that. They have weaponized the FBI and the DOJ against us. They know they have a two-tiered system of Justice, but they don’t care about the law. They know they are breaking the laws of our land, but they smirk and say, “You can’t do anything about it.” And there we are! They only care about power and squashing any dissent. Big Tech and the news media all lie for them, and our only remedy is our little attempts at getting out the truth. You can help us by sharing the link to this page and joining our email list — at jacomo.gop  

(*link to a very thoughtful article about our response to tyranny — “Much like the Nazis in the 1930s, they know that, as long as they have their hands on the levers of power, there is nothing lawful and peaceful that anyone can do to stop them.”) 

But we can force our timid Republican representatives to tighten up election laws and stop the fraud—even in Missouri.


Where do you get your news?

Did you know that journalists can and do lie to you? You cannot watch the big corporate media today and get the truth. They are completely controlled by the Government, the CIA, and 6 powerful men who run the corporate media. Glenn Greenwald, an independent reporter says, it “used to be the hallmark” of good reporting to refuse to “play ball” with the Washington cabal. Not anymore. A reporter can’t get anywhere in his “career” if he doesn’t go along with the liberal government narrative. None of these corporate reporters ever “break” an important story exposing the government. That is left to independent reporters who get squashed, accused, and kicked off big media platforms for telling the truth. Be careful where you get your news. 

Scary Quote —“It is essential for the State to use all its power to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” —Nazi Joseph Goebbels

Jackson Country Republican Party Headquarters

1140 Hwy 40, Blue Springs, MO, 64015 (across from Blue Springs Bowl) — 816-875-9690

Our headquarters is a busy, active place with people dropping by every day and various meetings to engage our community. Stop by and visit us. 

We have conservative/Republican products (t-shirts, hats, signs, etc) in our store for sale. 


Would you like to Get involved?  How to Volunteer

Here’s what you can do:

  • First of all, you need to go to the Calendar at -- https://jacomonews.org/calendar.htmlThis will give you lots of local meetings coming up that you might want to get involved in.
  • There are also events at the GOP Headquarters —1140 Hwy 40, Blue Springs, MO, 64015 (across from Blue Springs Bowl) — 916-875-9690 - There are meetings, classes, and movies/documentaries regularly.
  • Coming up soon in the summer the Jackson County Republican Party mans a booth at several different local festivals around the county. We always need people to help.
  • On election day, we usually need people to hand out voter information at different polling places or to be poll workers. 
  • We desperately need to build our email list by finding the name-city-phone-email of many Republicans in the county. This is so that we can give them information and get out the vote to support our candidates. Ask your friends and relatives who live in Jackson County to join our list. Post a note about it on your facebook page. 


The Jackson County Republican committee is working hard to get our message of Freedom, Prosperity, and Safety out to the voters. The Democrats will NEVER be able to give you prosperity. Their policies, which are counter to prosperity, are all about control, regulations, and power to the elite few, which also means no freedom for you. They’ll never be able to give you safety because they love criminals more than law-abiding citizens. 

If you are not on the Jackson County Republican email list, you can help us keep in touch by going to jacomo.gop or emailing us at editor@jacomonews.org - and join our list. We NEED to hear from all right-leaning voters in order to make you aware of the news that the media won’t cover. In fact, one of the best things you can do to help get conservative Republicans elected is to join a email list. This helps us get out the vote on election day. 


City Council Reports      

  • KC City Council Votes to look into Reparations  for slavery and segregation. Mayor Lucas will appoint a 13-member commission to report back to the council about how this can be implemented. Councilwoman Melissa Robinson and the Mayor have been pushing for reparations. Councilwoman Heather Hall, dissenting from the majority, says that this policy hasn’t worked for other cities (as in San Fran-sicko) and it won’t work here. 
  • Also, Mayor Lucas has decided to use $1 million of taxpayer money to pay for abortions across state lines. And the council is encouraging $7 million be spent on bike paths. “We think the money would be better spent on fixing potholes and picking up the trash,” says Mary Nestel, running for Council 6th district at large.

Kansas City desperately needs some conservatives elected to the City Council. See those running above.

In 2020, President Donald J. Trump handed Joe Biden a booming economy with an inflation rate of only 1.2% . By 2022, Joe Biden wiped out the middle-class gains President Trump achieved, causing 9.1% inflation, a 40-year record high.

Note the uptrend, the terrific economic handoff from Trump, and then the long, Biden decline to now below the 2020 lockdown lows for Small Business.

Elections matter and the election of judges is important!

Federal Judge Roseann Ketchmark of the District Court of Western Missouri sides with Biden admin, rules Christian College (College of the Ozarks) must allow biological men to share showers with women.  She was put on the bench in 2015 by Obama. This is one of the consequences  of voting Democrat.

Here are several ideas for you to get involved and help us. 

Around the State

  • Missouri AG Andrew Bailey demands St, Louis Circuit Attorney, Kim Gardner resign, or face Quo Warranto proceedings. Thanks to our new Attorney General for standing up to this lunatic monster!
  • Where do we get these Republicans?! Missouri Republican Senator, Dennis Hoskins, from Warrensburg pushed a bill in the State Senate to legalize sports betting and video lottery gambling. When it was defeated, he filibustered (on Feb 23). Is gambling in our MO Republican Platform? Our Representatives seem to forget that they are to represent us, not push self-serving bills. We must hold them accountable. 

Late-Breaking News

“There is no greater expression of hatred and hostility toward women than to try to erase our existence as a category of people and to minimize us to being a construction of anyone imagination. Such an expression of hatred towards women is now the position of the Democratic Party, and one of the reason why I could no longer remain in that party.”

—Tulsi Gabbard, former US Rep, D-Hawaii, 2013-21

Trump’s Plan for the future - from his speech at CPAC

Missouri Legislature

Push for open enrollment in schools picks up steam in Missouri

  • Committees in both the House and Senate debate proposals allowing students to leave their home school district. Many amendments are being discussed. The content of the final bill is uncertain right now. 

GOP fast tracks bill making it harder to amend Missouri Constitution by initiative petition

  • A bill to change the way amendments are added to the State Constitution is now working it way through the Legislature. The Republicans are making it a priority this year. 

Closed Primaries - (Support Stacy HB31)

  • Our 2022 landmark election integrity legislation provided for voluntary declaration of party affiliation by voters registering or registering to vote. This bill would go beyond that by (1) requiring party affiliation or be identified as "unaffiliated" and limit voting in our primaries to members registered with that particular party. This change is important so that members of other parties can't adversely affect selections of party candidates by switching parties at the last moment, voting for the weakest candidate, and then "switching back" as they walk out of the voting precinct.

Our MO Speaker of the House, Dean Plocher is blocking a bill requiring conformed consent before being vaccinated. 

  • Informed consent is the law in Missouri, but apparently does not apply to vaccines. Unfortunately, MO is inflicted with a few too many RINOs in our state house.
