Thank you for Making Democracy Work®.
Sincerely,
Maggie Bush Programs & Outreach DirectorPlease try to attend candidate forums and ask them questions
The League would incourage you to attend candidates meetings and ask them questions. It is a sad fact that because of Gerrymandering our elected officials do not have to vote as there constituents want them to -and never hold any town halls or attend debates. When ask questions about their votes ,( our representative voted to cut Medicare by $487 billion after her 1.5 trillion cut to Medicaid failed to pass the Senate) they refuse to answer. Many times decisions are made behind closed doors when open meetings and voting are traditionally required. This happens from city planning all the way up to Washington DC . Please, don’t let our democracy go to the way side. Hold your elected officials accountable, be informed about the issues, and get out and VOTE.
