Called the governor's office, was hung up on.

[xmas74]

Every day this week they've hung up.

Call 573-751-3222 for Governor Parsons. Flood the line. Demand a shelter in order.

1. This is the Governor of Missouri and given I have family there, I'm pissed.

I will call.

[xmas74]

2. Thank you.

He says that it's mostly in the cities and a statewide order would infringe on rural areas and their rights.

5. Covid 19 is in

many counties with most in large cities, but not in large numbers in rural areas. I emailed yesterday through MO.gov and pleaded for him to shut the state down. As far as I’m concerned he is a trump toady.

[pstokely]

10. and even many rural areas have local orders

and extended school closures

3. Why Not Try The Opposite Tact?

You should call and say how you are opposed to any sort of shelter order, and praise their decision. See if they engage in conversation with you rather than hanging up.

You certainly aren't going to get anywhere contradicting their Cult's decision not to issue ANY sort of order.

[xmas74]

4. They will then include that in any tallies.

They claim that they are keeping track of all calls. Any praise will be put in favor of no order.

[sfstaxprep]

6. They're IDIOTS

You just do what is prudent to keep yourself as safe as possible. Can't control stupid.

And to your point, what makes you think they're keeping track of responses such as yours, where they're hanging up? Their results will reflect whatever they want them to reflect. If enough idiots in MO want to head straight into the fire, then that's where they're going.

7. Keep a log of your contact attempts

Let a local media outlet know what you're trying to do and how responsive the governor's office has been.

Oh, and be as polite as you can be if you get to talk to anyone. Even though handling an angry constituent is part of their job, they'll use your righteous anger with their lethally bad response as an excuse for why they didn't do better by the people of Missouri.

[xmas74]

12. I don't have to worry about local media at this stage.

Rachel Maddow discusses his idiocy regularly.

Besides, I wonder if local is allowed to talk. We get lots of eye rolls on tv but no discussion.

[pstokely]

8. is there a local order in your area?

some places have them

[xmas74]

13. My county is stay at home

But two counties I have homes in have no order.

[uponit7771]

14. For KC and SL and I think Columbus but the rest of the MAGA Suckers and KKKLuckers in the state ...

... they're going around licking everything they can spreading the disease

[pstokely]

15. Columbia, not Columbus

are you confusing Mizzou with Ohio State?

[budkin]

9. Easily the worst governor in the Union

It's not even remotely close.
