Editor,

The League of Women Voters’ motto is to make democracy work — for everyone. We promote an informed and active citizenry. We stand up for voters’ rights, civil rights, women’s rights, education, the environment and clean energy.

We are nonpartisan. We do not support or oppose any party or candidate. The positions we take do not follow any party’s game plan; they are derived from decades of study and consensus by league members all around the country. We stand up for these positions in our communities, state capitals and in Washington, DC.

If you want to have your voice heard, check us out. Our positions can be viewed at www.lwvwa.org/positions.html Join 90,000 LWV members and your voice will be amplified; our voice will be stronger. Democracy is not a spectator sport. All are invited to join, both men and women, at lwvwhidbey.org
