Next Friday, League of Women Voters’ leaders from across the country will
gather in Washington, DC, for our 50th National Convention! As we prepare for
five busy days of discussions and decisions, the issues that concern us in this
2012 presidential election year are foremost in our minds. Witness our
Convention theme – Power the Vote: Imagine, Commit, Act!
We launched our Power the Vote initiative earlier this year and are
hard at work to ensure all voters are protected and prepared to participate
fully in this year’s elections across the nation as you can see below. Also
this month, because the flood of money in elections is drowning
out deliberate discussion, we began airing new radio ads in Maine
and Tennessee
to urge U.S. Senators in those states to help close the floodgates. On the
clean air front, your comments to the EPA helped surpass the one million mark
on its proposed new industrial carbon rule! Read about these issues and much
more below to find out what’s been happening in May. And let us know what
you’ve been doing by connecting with us on Facebook
and Twitter.
