    Over the past several days, we have all been made aware of the dire state of the Missouri revenue stream; we acknowledge that difficult decisions had to be made as more than $448M was cut from the state budget. CASA of South Central Missouri was saddened to learn about the recent cuts to the Department of Social Services (DSS) budget.

    There is a very important vote for the August 4 primary election. There is a significant effort to defeat Medicaid expansion for the people of Missouri. The forces behind the effort to defeat Medicaid Expansion are well funded and are willing to use a variety of methods to reach their goal. Americans for Prosperity is the same organization that attacked The Affordable Care Act with false and misleading statements.

    I don’t know who Amanda (Mitchell) is but I know this about her. She is deluded by her political religion.
    Amanda, if you truly read the Bible with a discerning spirit from God you would know that God uses the most unlikely people to do the most amazing things so that we can know that God is using that person for His purposes. It is God at work and that person has yielded to God for His purpose.
    Amanda look at these people in the Bible: Moses, David, Paul, Mary and Joseph, Mathew, Rahab, Jonah, Solomon, Joshua, Esther, on and on.
    Amanda you are letting your liberal bias override the truth. Our government has been corrupting beyond our wildest imagination for years, both parties. And both parties and the liberal media influenced by George Soros are desperate to stop Trump from exposing the truth about them.
    Amanda, I challenge you to ask God to show you the truth.
    We Christians prayed for years for God to give us a leader smart enough, tough enough who would restore honesty, integrity and justice to our nation. He gave us Donald Trump. You don’t have to like him. But you need to respect what he has done.
    We have to vote for Donald Trump or our children and grandchildren will grow up in a socialist/communist America. Who are the Dems offering? Scary stuff.
    I challenge you, Amanda, and all who read this to seek God for the truth. Open your spiritual eyes that you may see.
