League of Women Voters
 | WHAT WE ARE: The League of Women Voters (LWV) is a
nonpartisan political organization. The goal of the League is to encourage citizens to
participate actively in government and politics. Membership is open to all U. S. citizens,
eighteen (18) years of age and older.
|
| WHAT WE DO: We lobby, monitor existing programs,
observe meetings of governmental bodies, testify at hearings, work in coalition with other
groups, and go to court in the public interest.
|
| WHAT WE BELIEVE: We believe in representative
government and in the individual liberties established in the Constitution of the United
States.
 | We believe that democratic government depends upon the
informed and active participation of its citizens and requires that governmental bodies
protect the citizen’s right to know by giving adequate notice of proposed actions,
holding open meetings and making public records accessible. |
| We believe that every citizen should be protected in the
right to vote; that every person should have access to free public education that provides
equal opportunity for all; and that no person or group should suffer legal, economic or
administrative discrimination. |
| We believe that efficient and economical government requires
competent personnel, the clear assignment of responsibility, adequate financing and
coordination among the different agencies and levels of government. |
| We believe that a responsible government should be
responsive to the will of the people and that government should maintain an equitable and
flexible system of taxation, promote the conservation and development of natural resources
in the public interest, share in the solution of economic and social problems that affect
the general welfare, promote a sound economy and adopt domestic policies that facilitate
the solution of international problems. |
| We believe that cooperation with other nations is essential
in the search for solutions to world problems, and that the development of international
organizations and international law is imperative in the promotion of world peace. |
