From the President
 
LWV US CEO Celina Stewart wrote on April 10:  "Today is a dark day in politics.  The passage of the SAVE Act in the US House is a direct attack on the fundamental right to vote and a dangerous step backward for our democracy."  Several people have asked me, "what can we do?"  Keep on contacting your elected legislatoirs in DC and in Austin! It is crucial that we keep letting them know how deeply we care about these attacks on our rights.  It is crucial that we keep making our voices heard- directly through emails, letters, texts and phone calls and at the ballot box.   As Fannie Lou Hamer said,   "If you don't speak out ain't nobody going to speak out for you."   Links for the Take Action tools on lwv.org and lwvtexas.org are listed below.  Take Action today!
 
On a happier note, we are preparing for our 32nd Annual Meeting.  Please RSVP here by May 5. Note: you must be logged in to see the details  on the lwvcomal.org website.
 
-Jerrie Champlin
TAKE ACTION!
 
Concerned about our democracy?  Get involved! There are many ways to have your voice heard by elected officials and policy makers.  Take action on League priorities today!  An easy to use action tool is available for national issues at  lwv.org/take-action  and for Texas state issues at lwvtexas.org/take-action
