Wow Jeff, very powerful letter to be sent to the LWV's headquarters, you also back it up with powerful facts and references. If this doesn't initiate an investigation, then IMO, the LWV has completely lost it reason to exist as an organization.

Thanks for the links.

I took a moment to send a letter.

Jeff DONT hold your breath for an answer. What probably started as a legitimate organization has progressed into another CC political juggernaut. I haven’t seen anything’ that this group does but hold signs. Do they actually help in any way to better CC? 8647 sign way out of line for any group. Provoking murder is not Okay. Off topic though I see PA teachers are going to strike. Maybe the LWV can carry their signs for them. A failed system that wants more money to feed our youth garbage. Are kids better educated today than 20 years ago? Only at video games!

THE LWV IS A RUNAWAY TRAIN

Republicans Turn Against the League of Women Voters - Investigative Journalism in the Public Interest

Under its bylaws, the league does not endorse candidates. And by policy, board members can’t run for or hold any partisan elected office. Nor can they chair a political campaign, or fundraise or actively work for any candidate for a partisan office.

In 2018, the league’s CEO was arrested, along with hundreds of other protesters, for crowding a Senate office building to demand lawmakers reject Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, a conservative accused of sexual harassment.

Two years later, the league dissolved its chapter in Nevada after the state president penned an op-ed in July 2020 accusing the Democrats of hypocrisy for opposing gerrymandering in red states while “harassing” the league in Nevada over its activism on the issue.

And two days after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the league’s board of directors called then-President Donald Trump a “tyrannical despot” and blamed him for inciting the violence and for threatening democracy. The league demanded his removal from office “via any legal means.”
